Review & FAQ:
The Missouri Theater first opened its doors in the town of St. Joseph in June of 1927, showing Rough House Rosie as its main feature. The unique structure of the theater was added to the United States’ National Register of Historic Places later in 1979, and while numerous movie palaces were being torn down across the country to build more contemporary movie theaters, the residents of St. Joseph banded together to prevent the Missouri Theater’s destruction, preserving one of the few examples of the Hollywood-Oriental style in the nation. The theater was shut down and reopened as a performing arts center.
