Everybody say yeah! It's that time of year when multiple productions start opening after spending the colder winter months inside. For the spring, Des Moines Playhouse has opened its production of "Kinky Boots." While the musical is fun and had the audience on their feet at the end, the show's message couldn't be more timely.

As the holiday season gets closer, theatres start bringing some of our favorite stories to the stage. That is no different for Tallgrass Theatre Company, which is offering a new take on a classic tale this holiday season.

After skipping a year, the seventh (almost) annual Cloris Awards will honor eight local theater companies that produced 33 shows during the 2021-2022 season.

Des Moines Young Artists' Theatre presents HEATHERS THE MUSICAL July 22-31 at the Civic Center's Stoner Theater.

A staged reading of the new musical comedy “Rolf(e)” will be presented on Saturday, May 21 in two performances – 2:00pm and 7:00pm – at the Iowa State Historical Building auditorium in Des Moines. The event is free and open to the public, although advance reservations are required.

One of the best parts of seeing live theatre is sitting in a show and having it surprise you. Sometimes it can be from a performance in the show, or it could come from a fantastic technical element such as sets or lighting. Then other times, it could be how an amazing script comes to life. While all of those things are great, what makes a show memorable, is when they all come together to give the audience an experience they won't soon forget. Tallgrass Theatre Company's production of Laura Gundersen's 'The Revolutionists' does just that, mixing all the elements that leaves the audience talking long after the show closes. Lucky for you, this show is still playing through February 20, so you still have a chance if you haven't seen it.

Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror.

Winners have been announced for the 2021 BroadwayWorld Des Moines Awards. The 2021 Regional Awards honor productions which had their first performance between October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021.
