The Peoria Civic Center is made up of Carver Arena, a 2,000 seat Theater, multiple Exhibit Halls plus a ballroom and meeting rooms. Sports teams who call the Civic Center home include the Bradley University Braves men's basketball team and the Peoria Rivermen Hockey team. The Peoria Symphony Orchestra and Peoria Ballet also perform in the theater. And the American Theatre Guild hosts Broadway touring companies through their series in the theatre.

The facility opened in 1982 and thousands of events have taken place here over the last 40 years. The Exhibit Hall D was added in 2007, bringing the overall exhibit space totaling over 100,000 square feet. The Great Hall, the box office and the Peoria Rivermen office was part of that remodel as well.

Event Details

Corn Stock for Kids will present Bugsy Malone Jr. at the Corn Stock Theatre Center (located in upper Bradley Park) beginning at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $17 for adults and $12 for kids 12 and under and go on sale on September 4 and will be available at the Corn Stock box office, by calling 309-676-2196 or online at www.CornStockTheatre.com

Based on the hit 1976 film, starring a pre-teen Scott Baio and Jodi Foster, and featuring a catchy, swinging score by the composer of The Muppet Movie, Bugsy Malone JR. is good, clean, comedic fun. Two gangs in a fictitious city populated only by children are in a rivalry of Capone-ian standards. Dandy Dan’s gang has gotten the upper hand since acquiring the “splurge” gun (a weapon that shoots whip cream). Bugsy Malone, a one-time boxer, is thrust into the limelight when he becomes the last chance Fat Sam’s gang has of surviving. All Bugsy really wants to do is spend time with his new love, Blousey… but that just isn’t in the cards for our hero.
