Willow Creek Theatre Company Founded in Iowa City

Luke Brooks, Lindsay Brooks, and Kaya Schafer founded Willow Creek Theatre Company in January 2020 as Iowa City's first dedicated long-form improv nonprofit, though public performances were delayed until late 2021 by the COVID-19 pandemic. Incorporated just weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic halted live performance, the company launched its first public shows in late 2021 and has since grown into the primary improv institution in Iowa City.
