The Young Footliters is organized as a teaching, as well as performing, theatre.  Our affiliation with the Iowa City Community Theatre and the Iowa City Recreation Division is based on this definition.  Our policy is that only those individuals who are currently taking a theatre class, or have done so within the past 12 months of the audition date, may participate in Young Footliter productions.  Past performances do not count as a theatre class.  For this reason, the Director may not cast any individual for a part in the production unless they have fulfilled this requirement.

The Young Footliters offers theatre classes throughout the year.  Click on the links below for class description and registration form.

The Iowa City Recreation Division also includes introductory and advanced classes as part of its programming.  Other theatre class options that fulfill this requirement include, but are not limited to:  Riverside Theatre, School for the Performing Arts, the individual’s school, summer enrichment classes through the Iowa City Community School District, City Circle Acting Company of Coralville, Lundy Street Productions, and the Iowa Children’s Museum.  Please consult the Young Footliter Board if questions arise on other theatre options.
