Truly a Gem
Never a bad performance at the Maples! Truly a gem to find in small-town Missouri. Local talent mixed with rising pros from around the country never disappoint in a well-chosen blend of musicals, comedy, and drama. Bargain prices for single shows or full memberships. Go! Enjoy!

See Them Light Up
Quaint old theater. A place to go back in time and experience LIVE entertainment. I’ve been to several shows and never leave disappointed. It’s not Broadway, but I’m not in New York. I love it. Its one of the very few fun outings my sister can do, and I love seeing her light up when she is watching it.

Quaint & Unique
As a big drama geek, I was excited when my mother asked me to come with her to see Lucky Stiff. The theater is so quaint and unique- I loved the experience. The musical was incredible as well- I couldn’t stop smiling. This excursion was one I’ll remember and treasure. The cast was amazing, seats were comfortable, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
