Harrison Hilltop Theatre

About Us
Established June 2008
The Harrison Hilltop Theatre exists to provide the Quad Cities Area with an eclectic range of professional entertainment - from plays and musicals to live music and comedians and everything in between - in a ultra-comfortable, “living room theatre” atmosphere.
The Hilltop opened in June 2008, the brainchild of Circa '21's Chris Walljasper and Tristan Tapscott, and has since produced over 20 high quality productions ranging from A Streetcar Named Desire to The Rocky Horror Show. The members of the Hilltop's production staff and actors are paid and hail from the Quad City Area, Texas, California, and New York City. The Hilltop is housed in an old bank building that was designed and built in the early 1900's. Now converted into a "living room theatre" - complete with couches, recliners, and other padded seating - the Harrison Hilltop Theatre can seat between 35 and 100 guests depending on the size of the show and/or audience needs. Having produced 20 full scale productions in 18 months, The Harrison Hilltop Theatre is the Quad Cities' most prolific production company. The Hilltop prides itself on being the QC's very own "Chicago style store front theatre."
