We need your help to raise $30,000 and continue programming this winter.
Together, we can do it!
Mirrorbox is able to continue thanks to the generosity of donors who stepped up in this last week. Our board of directors voted unanimously to move forward to craft a sustainability plan to ensure we thrive as a nonprofit today and into the future. We raised more than $13,500 in just a few days, but we have much work ahead to continue programming this winter. Your donation makes it possible for this small theater along Ellis Boulevard NW to continue staging fresh plays, elevating local artists, and daring our community to think differently.
Right now, the existence of Mirrorbox depends on that same community.
Your support made it possible to open a brand-new home for daring performances on the city’s NW side. Your support made it possible for Cedar Rapids to be the place a Tony-nominee opened her latest world premiere production, along with over 200 additional performances since our doors opened in November 2022.

Last year, another award-winning playwright wrote, “Mirrorbox is destined to be recognized and celebrated as one of the country’s most important regional theatres, up with the likes of Steppenwolf, or Oregon Shakes, or Louisville.”
You are supporting the vision for how one city in Iowa can make a massive impact on the arts in our country.
Our community needs the new art that Mirrorbox provides – art that inspires, challenges, and nourishes us. And Mirrorbox urgently needs the support of our community in order to stay open.
Please donate now. We’re truly grateful for your investment in our local arts community.
Sincerely,
Cavan Hallman
Your commitment to new art reverberates through the community. In 2024, Dorothy de Souza Guedes was introduced to Mirrorbox:
“My first visit to Mirrorbox Theatre was such a delight that I returned to see the show, "WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU," two more times. A Rob Bell premiere in Cedar Rapids? That tells me Mirrobox is not only well-connected but they know what they’re doing. Kudos to Mirrorbox for renovating a vintage brick corner building into a neighborhood asset, creating up-close-and-personal experiences that don’t feel confining.”
