Looking for a night out in Greater Des Moines (DSM) that offers more than just dinner or a concert? The Ingersoll Dinner Theater brings food and live entertainment together under one roof, creating a unique experience for locals and visitors looking to make a night of it.

Located in Des Moines, The Ingersoll offers a diverse lineup of live entertainment throughout the year, including concerts, tribute performances, comedy, specialty shows and unique events. Whether you're planning a date night, a night out with friends, a celebration, or simply looking for something different to do, The Ingersoll offers an experience centered around great entertainment, good food and bringing people together.

An Unforgettable Experience in Greater Des Moines

What makes the Ingersoll experience unique is that dining is included with every show ticket. Guests don't have to purchase dinner separately or make additional reservations before or after the performance. Your ticket includes both the show and a full dining experience, making it easy to sit back, enjoy a meal and then enjoy the entertainment — all as part of the same night out.

The entertainment lineup offers something for a variety of interests. From local talent, tribute acts, drag and comedy, we have it all! The Ingersoll also hosts specialty acts and unique events that give audiences opportunities to discover something new and experience entertainment in a different way.

The intimate atmosphere is another part of what makes The Ingersoll different from a traditional concert venue. Guests can enjoy performers up close while dining and spending time with their group. Whether you're singing along to a favorite song, laughing with friends during a comedy show or discovering a new performer, the setting makes the experience feel personal and social.

An Event Space to Remember

The Ingersoll is also a destination for groups, private events and celebrations. The space can be rented for a variety of occasions, including private parties, company events, work outings, holiday gatherings, celebrations and other special events. With dining and entertainment already at the heart of the venue, The Ingersoll provides an option for groups looking to create an entire event experience in one place.

For larger groups, The Ingersoll also offers group sales for parties of 12 or more. Groups can take advantage of special discounted ticket pricing, making it an appealing option for organizations, coworkers, friends, families, clubs and other groups looking to attend a show together. Instead of simply getting together for dinner or heading to a concert, groups can enjoy both as part of one shared experience.

The Ingersoll can be a great choice for celebrating life's special moments, too. Birthdays, anniversaries, date nights, family outings, nights with friends and other occasions can all become an opportunity to gather around the table and enjoy a live performance. And because dining is included with the show ticket, planning an evening is simple.

One of the most exciting parts of The Ingersoll is its constantly changing calendar. With new performances and events throughout the year, returning guests can continue discovering new experiences. From familiar favorites to performers and specialty events audiences may be experiencing for the first time, the lineup offers plenty of reasons to come back.
