UU Children's Theater, Inc is a 501c3 non-profit organization. We are a children's theater group comprised of all student performers focusing on social awareness plays and musicals which was founded in 2007 at the First Unitarian Church of Des Moines. Our production office, scene shop and rehearsal space are now located at Des Moines Performing Arts. Productions are performed at both the First Unitarian Church of Des Moines and the Des Moines Social Club. Donations are tax deductible.

We are what you would call a theater co-op where everyone from parents to friends pitch in to make it all come together. We also work closely with other social organizations, schools, children's charities and theater groups in the Greater Des Moines Metro Community.

It is our goal to provide an environment where any child can experience the transformational magic of live theater! From script writing, warm-up activities, theater games, improvisation, competitions and scene work to full-scale theatrical productions, young actors have the opportunity to develop their skills of concentration, deductive reasoning, spontaneous expression, creativity and self-confidence.
