# Fireside Dinner Theatre

Fireside Dinner Theater is a historic dinner theater and special events venue in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. The original building and several expansions were designed by Fort Atkinson-based architect Helmut Ajango, who also designed The Gobbler, and built in 1964. A nearby building was purchased for conversion into a theater and added to the complex. The business is run by the Klopcic family.
