Welcome to Dreamwell Theatre
Dreamwell Theatre is an award-winning non-profit volunteer theatre company dedicated to creating professional-quality productions. In our 12 years of existence, we have produced over 50 plays in various locations around Iowa City. We are honored to to be part of the vibrant cultural landscape of an amazing, intelligent and literary city.

With each production, we reaffirm our identity as a “theatre of exploration.”
