Brett Hitchcock
Executive Vice President
Brett has been with Circa ’21 for nearly 30 years doing a wide range of jobs but, in reality, has been around since day 1. “I remember coming to the theater with my father before he opened the business in June of 1977. What I enjoy the most about working here is seeing and hearing how much our guests are enjoying their experience at the theater. That’s a great feeling!”

Kimberly has worked in marketing & design for Circa ’21 since 2017, when she decided to start her “second career” after 22 years working as a newspaper editor and designer. A graduate of Augustana College, Kimberly is thrilled to combine her skill set with her love of theater.
Her work includes shooting show photos, designing marketing materials (postcards, ads, brochures, etc.), and designing everything you see around the theater (lobby boards, selfie stations, banners, programs, etc). Her favorite selfie stations were the 6-ft square newspaper front page from Newsies, the gorgeous Broadway boots from Kinky Boots, and the fun hairstyle props from Beehive!
