About City Circle Acting Company of Coralville

City Circle Acting Company was formed in the summer of 1997 and incorporated as a non-profit organization on January 5th, 1998. In March of 1998, City Circle was formally adopted by the Coralville City Council.

Our Mission: To present professional caliber theatrical productions and provide educational opportunities for the membership and public.

Our Purpose: The production of high quality dramatic, musical and performing art pieces for the enjoyment of the public. The fundamental source of the production quality comes from the education and training of the membership. We also offer apprenticeship programs and work with educational organizations to create an awareness of the theatre arts within the community. Membership in City Circle is open to all individuals. We are currently affliated with the Recreation Department of the City of Coralville. This partnership has afforded us many opportunities to provide educational programs in theatre to residents of Coralville. In recent years, City Circle has joined forces with area Girl Scouts, the Coralville Aquatic Center, and the Iowa Children's Museum, among others, to continue our educational mission.

City Circle is also an affliated member of:

  • The Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce
  • The Johnson County Cultural Alliance
  • The Iowa Association of Community Theatres (IACT)
  • The American Association of Community Theatre (AACT9)

Support City Circle

Our families, friends, co-workers and consumers represent many walks of life and are bound by our sense of community and concern for the quality of life in the Iowa City-Coralville area. The performing arts enhance that sense of community within all residents and businesses, and thus they help to build the cultural landscape of the entire community. Professional-quality theatre is an essential part of this vibrant culture.

With your ongoing support, we can continue to provide exciting productions and theatre activities. Many of the people who work on the current shows worked on the very first show, because they are committed to helping City Circle produce the best possible theatre experience in Coralville. Please join us in the development of a dynamic local culture through your support of the performing arts. Become a sponsor of City Circle Acting Company of Coralville.

Since our first season in 1998, City Circle shows have grown in attendance, and talented new faces appear on our stages. City Circle has presented great comedies and dramas through shows like Nunsense I & II, 1776, Rocky Horror Show, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Fantasticks, Rumors, Once Upon a Mattress, The Music Man, and The Full Monty.
