One of the crown jewels of downtown Joplin! We love going to shows here--there's such a wide variety of programming that anyone could find something to suit their tastes. The acoustics inside the Beshore Performance Hall are fabulous and the views from the Leggett & Platt Green are amazing!

Connect2Culture is doing such an incredible job of bringing entertainment and cultural performances from around the country to Joplin. I became a season ticket holder because I love the array of entertainment they provide - from plays, to improv, to classical music performances. They are a staple of our community!
