About Temple Theater
Temple Theater sits on the second floor of the Temple for Performing Arts and is one of Des Moines’ most intimate performance venues. It hosts the Temple Comedy Series and Live At The Temple Concert Series, both sponsored by Prairie Meadows, and lets guests feel like a part of the performance. The venue is a cool focal point for a date night, though an early dinner or drinks afterward will finish the evening. Fans of the written word portrayed live love the wonderful setting and delicious cocktails. Performances are described as phenomenal, with acting and storytelling praised, and servers remember mocktails for the designated driver. Overall, the theater is absolutely entertaining and fun, and many recommend it to anyone going to Des Moines.
It is nice for the little I saw of it. Went to sing-a-long. Just the parking is blah for a place like that... Maybe because I'm used to having parking lots for places that hold events like that. No cell reception but they have wifi access available.

Close to the performance. Nice older event center. Only downside are the chairs. Not very comfortable.

Triple Espresso was a terrific show! Well acted and audience involvement - such fun! Go see it!
