They tell quite a bit about the battle that broke out there, and the guy we talked to working the front is very knowledgeable. It's not a very big place; you might be able to spend 30 minutes in there if you read everything and watched the movie... But it's free, and a free history lesson is always worth a look "IMO."

Excellent history lesson. I loved the visuals and the historian dude at the front desk was great…read more Picked up some souvenirs and learned a lot. Great job.

My niece attended Graystone School of Ballet and liked her instructors. To me that goes a long way,…read moreso I certainly can't give them a bad rating! However, I had the chance to attend 3 different events/recitals given by Graystone and the overall impression that I got was not very good. Two of the events were in a ramsackle church with shoddy production values and lackluster appeal; the third was held in the aging Taylor Auditorium at MSSU and it came off like someone's last minute effort to stage a children's production. The most senior students (in their teens) did not perform at the level I would expect from long term students of dance, although it was assured that they had been taking classes for many years. I think Graystone would be a great experience for kids who aren't seriously pursuing dance, but just want a fun extracurricular activity and self esteem boost. If your child has serious dance aspirations I'd strongly suggest you look elsewhere, even if it is more expensive!

I've attended many events at Pittsburg Memorial Auditorium over the years, from a speaking…read moreperformance by Duff Goldman (Ace of Cakes) to tattoo shows. Most recently, I've attended several productions of Midwest Regional Ballet held here. This is a very well-kept venue and plenty large for its small community. It's a shame they don't publicize and use it for even more - I think it would be a terrific concert venue for start up and moderately successful performers traveling through the area. It's about a hundred times nicer than the nearby Joplin Memorial Hall.

JLT is a wonderful entertainment option in Joplin. Plays and musicals are usually between $10-20…read moreand worth every cent. The acting, costumes, and overall production values are stellar for a small town theatre like this one. I have always enjoyed their productions, but it wasn't until I attended a half dozen small scale productions in other cities that I fully realized how wonderful JLT is! We have a lot of talent here in Joplin and it's nice to have a night out doing something different now and then. Most recently I attended "High Society" in Summer 2010 and it was fantastic. The theatre itself is small and unassuming on the northwest edge of Joplin, but once inside it's clearly a well-run machine and the interior is quite sophisticated if a little spartan.
