MISSION
Engage the Midwest in meaningful entertainment, education, and cultural activities.
VISION
Be an incubator and hub for transformative performing arts experience. In addition to providing opportunities to have a connection with every child in the state of Iowa.
HISTORY
The Des Moines Civic Center is a testament to the power of a dream and determination. In the 1970s following the closing of Des Moines’ KRNT Theater, a local bond option to build and fund a performing arts hall was proposed and narrowly defeated. Undeterred, a group of area business leaders joined forces and raised over $9 million in less than 90 days for the cause.
The rest is history and in June of 1979 the Des Moines Civic Center hosted its first performance. Along with the black box Stoner Theater and Nollen Plaza (now Cowles Commons) the Des Moines Civic Center became a downtown destination.
In 2002 the Temple Theater became the 4th venue operated by the organization and in 2013 the organization rebranded itself as Des Moines Performing Arts (DMPA).
Today DMPA continues to serve as one of Iowa’s premier non-profit arts organizations. It is a major economic driver with the Willis Broadway Series alone delivering an estimated $30 million in economic impact annually. The organization emphasizes performing arts education through a number of initiatives including the Iowa High School Musical Theater Awards and the Applause Series. In 2017 DMPA welcomed its 10 millionth guest and 2018 will bring the organization’s 40th anniversary season.
