Who We Are

Unexpected Company is an Iowa-based group of artists, dedicated to providing "unexpected" theatrical experiences to schools and communities. The company was created with the following objectives:

  • To bring to life classic works of drama, literature and poetry in a fresh and dynamic fashion.
  • To develop and produce new plays, musicals and performance pieces.
  • To form collaborations and create new works with artists in other disciplines.
  • To provide creative services and resources to artists, educators, arts organizations, schools and non-profits.
