Lauded by the New York Times as a "big bearhug of a musical" in which "even the most stalwart cynics may have trouble staying dry-eyed," the Tony Award-winning Come from Away makes its debut at Rock Island's Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse with its September 10 through November 1 run, this deeply moving 2017 entertainment also hailed by Broadway World as "inspiring, funny, and kick-ass beautiful.”

A trio of gifted artists, and a quartet of disparate artistic mediums, will be showcased in the latest exhibition at the Quad City Arts International Airport Gallery, the gallery's display cases, through October 29, housing new furniture and sculpture by John Schwartzkopf, fabric collages by Heather Steckler and paper collage by Lauren Pesta.

Lauded by the Chicago Tribune's Dave Kehr as "diabolically inventive and very, very funny," Robert Zemeckis' 1992 comedy Death Becomes Her enjoys an outdoor screening at Rock Island's Rozz-Tox, the September 6 event treating guests to an Oscar-winning cult classic that, just last year, inspired a Tony Award-winning stage musical.

With the five featured classics including Academy Award winners, iconic entertainments, and works that have inspired no end of unforgettable lines and scenes, Davenport's German American Heritage Center teams up with the city's The Last Picture House to present the “From Hitler to Hollywood” film series, a celebration of cinematic talent and industry boasting Wednesday screenings September 3 through October 1.
