The Adler Theatre, a Davenport gem of classic architecture just steps from the beautiful Mississippi River, has a rich history of providing entertainment in the Quad-Cities. Originally the 1926 RKO Orpheum theater, the Adler still showcases its heritage with a gold leaf ceiling, crystal light fixtures, and intricate ebony, walnut, and marble details. Adjacent to the RiverCenter, the Adler Theatre brings elegance and historic charm to any event.
This 2,411-seat venue features an Award-Winning Marquee. In 2018, VenuWorks restored the marquee to its original 1931 design. It also boasts modern amenities, including recent backstage renovations with new dressing rooms, a loading dock, a hydraulic stage thrust, and a state-of-the-art rigging system. With its diverse programming, the Adler hosts a variety of entertainment, from Broadway musicals to symphony performances.
