Rodgers Theatre, Movie theater in Poplar Bluff, US.

The Rodgers Theatre is a three-story brick and concrete commercial building with Art Deco and Art Moderne elements, made up of three sections: the facade and theatre marquee, the theatre itself, and an office block. The marquee carries a prominent ziggurat tower, and inside are a drama stage and one commercial space.

The Rodgers Theatre Building was built in 1949, designed by Dan Thompson of Poplar Bluff. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The Stage Company now uses the historic theatre for several productions each year.

The Stage Company currently uses the historic Rodgers Theatre for several theatrical productions each year, so the building functions as a working stage rather than a dormant landmark. Its name comes from the Rodgers family, and the theatre marquee with its ziggurat tower marks the entrance on the street.

The theater is located on North Broadway Street in the heart of Poplar Bluff's downtown area and is easy to access. Visitors can check current programming to find out what films, concerts, or events are being presented during their visit.

The designer was Dan Thompson of Poplar Bluff, later associated with Lockheed Martin, not a formally trained architect. The theatre marquee carries a prominent ziggurat tower, a stepped form borrowed from ancient Mesopotamian temples and used here as a sign element above the entrance.
