Mission Statement
The Playhouse Education Department encourages self-development through the dramatic arts, explores the skills of the theatre, fosters an appreciation of the theatre, and acquaints students with technical theatre knowledge.

Playhouse Education Philosophy
Iowa has long been known for its rich educational resources and The Des Moines Playhouse is proud to be a part of it all! Our education program is one of the largest of any community theatre in the United States, directly serving more than 30,000 students each year with Kate Goldman Children’s Theatre performances, on-site classes and outreach programs. That gives us one of the biggest classrooms in Iowa!

Our courses are very popular, and we do set caps so that we can offer the very best teacher/student ration. Enroll today so that we can save a place just for you!
