The Mission Theatre

Just a 15-minute drive from downtown Kansas City, The Mission Theatre sets the scene for a playful contrast of old and new. Built in 1938, The Theatre's original architecture boasts a classic 1930's vibe that has been paired with elegant decor creating a modern twist. The Mission Theatre comfortably accommodates up to 250 guests seated. Renovated from floor to ceiling in 2017, The Mission Theatre's crystal chandeliers, polished concrete floors, elaborate accent walls, and custom marquee, will charm and captivate your guests.
