($16 for adults) Total of five shows are put on during a season: 1 spring show, 3 summer shows, and 1 winter show. When Guild first started, it was a theatre open to the elements. Have no fear, the theatre is now enclosed and has air-conditioning throughout the building along with concession stand and restrooms. Inside the theatre audience members will experience new cushioned seats with ample amounts of leg room and new speaker/sound system to ensure the best sound for all. Everyone involved are volunteers of the QC and do their best to give you the best experience possible. Tickets can easily be ordered online or through their volunteer box office.

There is now elevator access for the handicap audience, amazing seating and great air flow conditioning. Currently working on DEATHTRAP there, opening 9/9/16, and it has been a pleasure to see how well established and put together this facility is! Definitely a theatre gem in the Quad Cities! :) -Adam xoxo

We truly enjoyed our night with "Candlelight: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics" here…read more Getting in and to our seating was a relatively quick process. We did not see it ahead of time, but there is a super-helpful map on their website noting places you can park near the Spotlight. The theater had a remarkable feel to it. I didn't know that it was in a former Scottish Rite Cathedral, but many of the features have been preserved and add to the character and ambiance. Just of note: the seats were a little uncomfortable by the end due to cramped leg room and needing to sit at an odd angle to see the stage well. We were in Group B which afforded us the wings. Close to the stage but the seats were aimed at the other wall instead of the stage. I wouldn't advocate changing a thing - just something for the ticket buyer to be aware of!

Me and my husband attended "The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" and it was a very funny and entertaining musical. I can't recommend this theater enough. For the performance we attended, they had a mobile cash bar and baked good during intermission. The cost was only $20.00 each, so very affordable.

The lead roles were excellent, bringing both strength and vulnerability to their characters, while the ensemble matched them with compelling harmonies that soared during the big numbers and felt intimate in quieter moments. The performers shifted effortlessly between intense and present energy when the story demanded it, and delicate, loving warmth in the family scenes. Vocally, every role had clear presence, with the sound mix keeping the voices perfectly balanced against the music for an immersive experience. Technically, the production impressed as well. The lighting design created effective focus areas, especially during scene transitions, guiding the audience's attention smoothly. It was my first time seeing a fly-in set piece at Circa 21, and it added a wonderful sense of scale and fluidity to the staging. The music was provided by a well-recorded audio track that sounded clear and full, with a balanced mix that supported rather than overwhelmed the singers on stage. The table service enhanced the whole night. Our server, The Bootlegger, was pleasant and engaging, making the experience feel personal and fun. The table buser stayed right on top of clean-up throughout the show. I appreciated having four entrée options for the food served at the table, and the excellent variety of libations made it easy to find the perfect drink to enjoy with the performance. A thoroughly enjoyable night all around.

Since it's so small, it's hard to get around without bump into others and spilling drinks. The bar staff is probably the worst part. You will be waiting for 15-30 minutes in line at a bar for $20 drinks that are nothing but soda (2 oz liquor 15 oz soda), if they get that right. I ordered a vodka tonic that the bartender asked about 4 times and each time it was wrong! You are guaranteed to miss 20-30 minutes of any performance if you decide to leave to get a drink. Seat is like being on a small plane, extremely tight and narrow. If you move suddenly you are bound to hit the people next to you. If you stand up, you'll be blocking everyone. And being seated will make your knees and back cramp. The only reason they get 2 stars is due to cleanliness of the building, $15 parking and the view from our seats which is due to the size. Otherwise expect Chicago prices and attitude.
