Dreamwell's History

Dreamwell Theatre was founded in the Spring of 1997 as a non-profit volunteer theatre company dedicated to creating professional-quality productions in Iowa City, Iowa. We further defined our mission as a theater that creates challenging, innovative and inclusive theatrical experiences. In 2001, Dreamwell adopted a new logo. We rededicated ourselves to the spirit of exploration and discovery. By choosing for our logo the image of a sextant, a nautical tool for navigation, we reaffirmed our commitment to being part of the exploration of theatre. In 2005, we moved into a new space in the Old Capitol Town Center in downtown Iowa City. We are honored to be part of the vibrant cultural landscape of this amazing city.
