Renovated 1927 movie palace serves as center for the arts. The theater, which seats 1,200, is decorated in a pre-Persian motif. A true architectural gem designed by Boller Brothers, the Missouri Theater's unique structure was added to the national Register of Historic Places in 1979. While movie palaces across the country were being torn down to make room for contemporary structures, the citizens of St. Joseph refused to allow destruction of one of the country's few examples of Hollywood-Oriental style.

Thanks to the St. Joseph community, once again the Missouri Theater proudly lifts its curtain and celebrates its 75th year as the center of our diverse arts community.

Tours $1 by appointment.
