The Madison Theatre, in Peoria, Illinois, United States, opened on October 16, 1920 as a silent picture theatre. The building was commissioned by Dee Robinson, and designed by Frederick J. Klein; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1980. The Madison Theatre used to schedule many music concerts, but closed as a concert venue in 2002 and re-opened as a comedy club. The side of the building is located directly across Main Street from the Pere Marquette Hotel, also on the National Register. The theatre features an Italian Renaissance exterior and classical plasterwork on the interior walls and domed lobby ceilings. The lobby's terra-cotta plasterwork frames a triple-arched window above the marquee.
