IOWA THESPIAN FESTIVAL

NOVEMBER 13 - 14, 2026

STUDIO THEATRE PERFORMANCES

Studio Theatre performances are an opportunity for schools to showcase a one-act or a cutting of a full-length show at the Iowa Thespian Festival. There is no prerequisite to perform a studio show, but a studio performance is required before applying to bring a mainstage performance. If you have a question about Studio Theatre performances, please contact Kristi Peck at [email protected]. 
More information and studio theatre applications will be released in May, 2026​​
