THE GULL; A TRAGEDY FOR ONE, AFTER CHEKHOV, by Zachary Cohn
Riffing on Anton Chekhov's classic "show about nothing," The Seagull, this piece works because all 10 characters are performed by one actor. It's a robust, hilarious 90 minute journey and includes a "Narrator" to manage the chaos and provide snarky commentary!  The **World Premiere** tour continues in Season 6.
Due to unexpected circumstances beyond our control, THE GULL is on hiatus until sometime in 2026. Keep checking back!

THE GUN SHOW, by EM Lewis
Leaning neither right nor left, The Gun Show jumps into the middle of the gun control debate and asks, “Can we just have a conversation about this? The much-talked-about tour continues in Season 6.

TheatreMidwest strives to:
  • Produce theatrical events of the highest quality.
  • Connect with MidWestern communities with pertinent stories and storytelling.
  • Lift up the voices, thoughts, artistry, and dreams of women and other under-represented groups that speak to the MidWestern experience.
  • Reduce barriers that prevent or discourage people from attending live performances.
  • Sustain a strong cultural presence in our communities.

RADICAL HOSPITALITY

Picture
Katie Braden in BURST (2022)
​Inspired by our colleagues at Mixed Blood Theatre in Minnesota, and encouraged by a number of other organizations around the country, we proclaimed at our inception that live theatre must be a lot more accessible to a whole lot more people.  In our work, our mission, and our being we commit to removing barriers that discourage people from being our guests. 
With access as our guiding principle, we work toward this goal in two main ways:  
  • Outreach to people or groups in Midwestern communities that do not regularly attend the theatre and extending an invitation, and 
  • Reduce the cost of seeing live theatre. ​

"MIDWEST?"

In the middle. West of the East Coast (but East of the West Coast.) Our roots have taken hold in the almost-exact-middle, as did our first production, in Des Moines.

The journey continues from there.
