Upstart Crow Theatreworks

Upstart Crow Theatreworks Upstart Crow Theatreworks was founded in 2002 in Decorah, Iowa.

The idea for Upstart Crow Theatreworks was hatched in the fall of 2002 after staging a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream with a cast of Decorah-area children. Now in its 13th season, Upstart Crow Theatreworks makes its home at ArtHaus, and continues to offer productions, classes and workshops for children and adults. Collaborations between Upstart Crow and Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museu

m have resulted in ten original theatre pieces inspired by exhibits at the Museum. Adaptations of Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, and Dickens, Moliere’s The Learned Ladies, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Comedy of Errors, As You Like It, Taming of the Shrew, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice, The Winter’s Tale, and Much Ado About Nothing, as well as three Cemetery Walks in beautiful Phelps Cemetery are among our productions.

Facebook is reminding me to write a post to followers and friends of Upstart Crow... So this seems like the right moment to share some news. After 17 years, Upstart Crow Theatreworks is going on hiatus. I have accepted a full-time position as the new Director of Campus Programming at Luther College beginning Monday, September 30. I am thrilled to be stepping into this role, at this time especially— a bright light is shining strong at Luther with the inauguration of President Jenifer Ward. Thank you for your support of Upstart Crow these many years! Stay in touch. ♥️
