Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse is a regional entertainment venue located in Rock Island, Illinois, operating as a dinner theatre housed in the historic Fort Armstrong Theatre. It began operations in 1977 as the Quad Cities' professional theatre, presenting a mix of stage plays, musicals, comedies, dramas, and family shows, with meals prepared in-house to accompany performances. The venue seats about 334 guests on the main floor after an interior refurbishment designed with a Las Vegas-style aesthetic, and includes a preshow revue performed by its hospitality team. It serves the Quad Cities audience as part of the broader entertainment providers industry, combining live theatre with dining as its core offering. The company has hosted productions and performers from across the country over its history, and a 2025 update notes participation in the Art Deco Festival in Leeton, indicating continued activity beyond its home stage.
