The Cresco Theatre dates to 1914, when it was originally opened under the Cresco Opera House moniker. The grand facility was originally constructed to accommodate live shows from traveling groups and was used for such performances through the late 1920s. While there are occasional live performances from the local community theatre group, the theatre is mostly used for movies, with first-run shows playing nightly at 7:30 p.m. For current movie offerings, call (563) 547-4292.
