Thank you to everyone who joined us in Des Moines for AACTFest 2025!

From inspiring performances and engaging workshops to networking and celebrating community theatre, this year’s festival was unforgettable. Des Moines’ vibrant arts scene, historic East Village, Farmer’s Market, breweries, and nightlife gave us plenty to explore beyond the stage.

Your passion and creativity made this week truly special, and we’re proud to have shared it with you in one of the Midwest’s most welcoming cities.

AACT is grateful for our incredible hosts, volunteers, performers, and attendees who made AACTFest 2025 a success.

Here’s to more community, more theatre, and more unforgettable moments. We’ll see you at the next AACTFest!
