Missouri Theatre

About this theatre

On the National Register of Historic Places, Missouri Theatre is one of central Missouri’s only remaining pre-Depression era movie palaces and vaudeville stages. Built in 1928, the theater’s interior is an ornate baroque and rococo style of the Louis XIV and XV periods. Designed by the Boller Brothers Architects of Kansas City, the theater is modeled after the Paris Opera House. Much of the original detailing survives, including the Belgian marble wainscoting, plaster reliefs, stained glass art panels under the balcony and an 1,800-pound Italian chandelier featuring crystal prisms and etched panels.
