About David Kruidenier
1921-2006
David Kruidenier had a vision in the mid-1970s. He recognized that Des Moines deserved a proper home for the performing arts and envisioned a space where theater was accessible and equitable. David’s vision has become Des Moines Performing Arts’ legacy and this passion is now our collective responsibility over forty years later: to preserve and protect the performing arts for the next generation.
"We have included Des Moines Performing Arts in our estate planning because the organization is like family to us. Both of us have loved the arts for a lifetime and our first date was at the Civic Center to see 4 Girls 4. That sparked a relationship and marriage of 40 years. We have introduced family and friends to the experience of live theater over those years and have been donors and season ticket holders for decades. The theater has educated us, entertained us, fostered relationships, and enhanced the community we live in. We want to continue that life changing and joyful experience for performers and audiences for generations to come. It is a privilege to support the Des Moines Performing Arts in their mission for future generations.”
