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.
In 2001, we re-defined our mission as a theater that creates challenging, innovative and inclusive theatrical experiences. At that time, we rededicated ourselves to the spirit of exploration and discovery and chose the image of a sextant, a nautical tool for navigation, as our logo. With each production, we reaffirm our identity as a “theatre of exploration.”
With the exception of the 2005 season, when we operated out of a space at the Old Capitol Mall, we do not have a “brick and mortar” storefront. We have great relationships with area venues such as the Unitarian Universalist Society and Old Brick and regularly perform in the spaces, as well as several others. We are always interested in new and interesting venues to produce shows and are considering acquiring a permanent space in the near future. Permanent home or not, we consider the strength of our ensemble and collective dedication to the theatre to be our true home and that will never change.
