Who We Are

Young Footliters is a non-profit, youth-centered theater organization that offers families in the Iowa City area fun, creative and educational opportunities to experience theater arts in a safe, positive and professional environment. Through our quality productions and instructional classes, Young Footliters promotes life skills such as responsibility, confidence, leadership, and cooperation, as well as appreciation of the arts. As a volunteer organization, our driving force is a network of parents & community members dedicated to creating a positive experience for everyone involved. Parent participation is vital to, and required for, the success of every production and is commensurate to the effort young people give and the enjoyment they receive. Iowa City's vibrant theater community provides Young Footliters with professional and local talent to draw upon and collaborate with in all aspects of theater production. Young Footliters is committed to the use of theater arts to encourage our young people to become involved members of their communities.
