Fall 2019 | 9 CAMPAIGN INITIATIVE #1 Our reputation for excellence is built on diverse and distinguished art, dedicated patronage, and a rewarding audience experience.
Strengthen Both FilmScene and the Englert reside in more than century-old buildings. Beautifully maintained and blessed with good bones, these facilities still require regular upkeep and renovation. First- rate facilities are essential to keeping our artists and patrons happy.
To ensure the longevity of our venues, our campaign includes strengthening FilmScene’s flagship Ped Mall location and a renovation and modernization of the historic Englert Theatre. This quality upgrade, both center stage and behind the scenes, will improve audience experience, accessibility, and sustainability, and these improvements will enhance the lighting, sound, and stage production elements that deliver that all important nightly “wow.”

As we celebrate our historic spaces, we also relish the opportunity to build a brand new arts facility for the next generation.
Purpose-built and state-of-the-art, a new three-screen facility at The Chauncey—in the heart of downtown—will become FilmScene’s primary home. Commitment to ownership of the facility by our nonprofit will ensure organizational stability and guarantee that film as an art form has a secure future in Iowa City.
As a unique architectural gem, FilmScene at The Chauncey will be a landmark arts facility—the best of its kind in the Midwest. By setting a nonprofit arts organization as the cornerstone of a private investment, this partnership will open the building to the public and make our remarkable downtown even more welcoming.

Kurt Michael Friese, a long time Friend of the Englert and sponsor of The Englert Theatre passed away unexpectedly in the fall of 2018. The Englert extends our sympathy to Kurt’s family and friends and remembers him fondly.
“There was never a time when Kurt said no to a request to support the Englert with his beautiful food. Instead he said, ‘Let me see how to make that work.’ Many fundraising events were made successful due to the Friese family’s generous, community minded spirit,” said Katie Roche, Englert Development Director. “I’ll never forget Kurt laughing, telling stories, and thoughtfully explaining each dish from his station at the table we’d set up in the orchestra pit. Wherever you found Kurt and his food, it felt warm and inviting, like you were in his kitchen.”
Thank you for everything Kurt. We miss you.
Thank you to the following community members for their gifts given in memory of Kurt: Lisa Baum, Rose Marie Friedrich, Bill & Kristin Gerth, Michael & Gail Hensch, Iowa City Area Development Group, Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature, Melvin Sager & Agnes Corgin, Paul & Gerianne Schaefer, Rod Sullivan & Melissa Fath, Dick & Joyce Summerwill, an anonymous donor, and The Nowalk Family Fund.

Thank you!
"Thank you so much to everyone Phoebe Martin, REALTOR® in our incredible community. I am 2530 Corridor Way, Suite 302 humbled by your recognition, Coralville, IA 52241 and I look forward to continuing (319) 541-8695 to serve as your trusted realtor ."

Licensed to sell Real Estate in the State of Iowa. Not intended to be a solicitation. The amount of creativity contained within the Iowa City area is astounding. Musicians, artists, writers, photographers, and more are Englert abundant within the Corridor, adding to the flavor of this Midwest oasis of art and culture. The Englert Theatre wanted to highlight this talent and Commissions began offering collaborative opportunities to local artists, commissioning projects to commemorate Englert milestones, our ever-supportive community, and the city we call home.
Iowa City Song Project In celebration of its 100th birthday in 2012, The Englert Theatre commissioned 31 Iowan musicians and bands to write and record songs inspired by Iowa City. The result is the Iowa City Song Project, an album as diverse and cutting edge as the city itself. The album contains a spectrum of music from roots-rock to the avant-garde, bringing together a community of artists in a unique musical experience. Give it a listen at https://soundcloud. com/englert. CDs and LPs are available for purchase at the box office.
Englert at 100 Englert at 100 showcases Iowa City-based photographer Sandy Dyas’ celebration of the Englert’s centennial year. Her photos document Englert show days from bus arrivals to post-performance loadouts. Dyas was given full access behind the scenes, capturing performers warming up in the dressing rooms and Englert staff working their offstage magic, creating an artistic documentation of the theater’s identity.
An Illustrated Century by Josh Carroll Local artist Josh Carroll was commissioned to create a comic book documenting a century of Englert Theatre history including its 1912 Vaudeville origins, movie theatre heyday, and performing arts center reincarnation. This richly-illustrated timeline provides an engaging way to connect with the past and trace the journey of Iowa City’s last remaining historic theater.
Poetry by Dora Malech In 2014, the Englert celebrated its 10-year anniversary as a nonprofit. Celebrations included special performances, dinners, and commissioned work from poet and former Iowa City resident Dora Malech. The Englert commissioned Malech to write original poetry for the anniversary, celebrating the theme of gratitude. Without the efforts and continuing support of the community, the Englert wouldn’t exist as it is today, and we are forever grateful to our donors, sponsors, patrons, and volunteers.
ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE 2014: Nat Baldwin The Englert believes in supporting emerging and working artists and has created an Artist-in-Residence Program to allow artists time to work on their projects while experiencing and engaging with the Iowa Creative Corridor. Bassist/composer Nat Baldwin of the rock band Dirty Projectors was the first resident hosted in February 2014. Baldwin’s residency included substantial time for him to work on new compositions as well as to engage with the Corridor community by conducting a songwriting workshop with students from Tate High School and visiting area cultural institutions with local artists.
The Englert Theatre | 32 IOWA CITY SONG PROJECT CDS AND LPS, ILLUSTRATED CENTURY BOOKS, AND PHOTOGRAPHY ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT THE BOX OFFICE AND AT SELECT SHOWS.
Englert Beer Series From Fall 2015 to Spring 2016, the Englert partnered with three local breweries to brew three original beers for the Englert Beer Series. Inspired by our past, present, and future, the original beers poured from the minds of brewers at Backpocket Brewing Company, Lion Bridge Brewing Company, and Big Grove Brewery. Backpocket’s Riot of ‘84 Pre-Prohibition Lager was reminiscient of the beer likely made by John Englert at Iowa City’s first brewery, and inspired by his hand in inciting the Beer Riots of 1884. Lion Bridge’s Local Talent Robust Porter shines a spotlight on our mission of serving as a conduit between local and national scenes. Finally, Big Grove’s Quantum Finish Hyrbrid-Style Double IPA is a funky beer aged in Cedar Ridge barrels with season citrus fruits, a true Corridor collaboration. Englert Beer Series beer may be available for purchase again in the future.
The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore The Englert’s first-ever, commissioned original stage play, The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore, premiered in Spring 2016. It’s a story of evolution, biological and lingual. It’s a story of love, across boundaries and species. It’s a story of oppression, of inequality and colonialism. It’s the story of Bruno Littlemore, an unusually intelligent chimpanzee. Presented in partnership with Working Group Theatre and New Territory Dance Company, the piece is based on the novel from recent Iowa Writers’ Workshop graduate Benjamin Hale.
ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE 2016/2017: Dis/Unity: A Service The Englert’s Artist-in-Residence program hosted a group of artists for a week in Summer 2016 to workshop an in- themaking performance-based installation, Dis/Unity: A Service, which premiered before a live audience at the Deadwood Tavern, addressing trauma, liberation, and transcendence through sculptural installations and audience interaction. The final work premiered at the Englert in Fall 2017, and featured an ensemble of artists: Barber, Boubacar Djiga, Courtney D. Jones, Esther Baker-Tarpaga, Heidi Wiren Bartlett, Raquel Monroe, and Wendell Gray II.

Pay attention to the vibe of the show. If the crowd gets up and starts dancing, join them. Please don’t try to do a one-person show for your own entertainment. We will ask you to sit down.
Respect the supporting act: You never know where they are going in the future. If you really dislike the music, take a walk or check out our current gallery exhibit on the second floor. Please be polite.
Patrons are never allowed on stage. Not before the show, during the show, or after the show.
Grounds for removal: If our staff finds you are not adhering to the above guidelines, we will give one verbal warning requesting that you change your behavior. If you continue to disregard the guidelines, we will request that you leave the premises. Being removed from more than one event will result in being banned from Englert-presented events for at least one calendar year.
