“Ten years ago, Connect2Culture set out to create opportunities for our community to experience live performances right here in Joplin,” says Emily Frankoski, Executive Director of Connect2Culture. “Today, our 2026–2027 season reflects how far we’ve come as well as our continued dedication to igniting a passion for the arts, culture, and entertainment. We invite our community to join us in celebrating this milestone and to experience a season full of exceptional artists and meaningful experiences!”
All performances in the 2026–2027 season will be held at C2C’s home theatre (the 419-seat Beshore Performance Hall) or its outdoor amphitheater (the 1000-person Leggett & Platt Green) at the Cornell Complex.

It’s the best way to experience the magic of Connect2Culture from the best seats, at the best prices!” says Frankoski. “And, of course, this season would not be possible without our generous sponsors, including Freeman Health System; Sharon and Lance Beshore; EaglePicher Technologies, LLC; and many others.”
