    Ghost ? On our way home from Branson, Route 66 drive and a great stop! This is a must! Just a donation asked. Very nice ladies and one will give you a tour. I am not a history person and I was all ears. This place has an air about it. Lady even said ghost have said to appear. I am a believer so made it interesting. Alot of history about owners . Still a working theater! We would love to go back and see a performance. Tickets looked very reasonable for past shows. Lady even directed us to Micky Mantle statue and house in town.

    Right outside the theater, second staircase (see the lucky statue?)

    The Coleman is an absolutely stunning place, and if anyone is ever in the area for some reason, you should definitely take a peek inside if it's open, or go to a show there. I feel so fancy going there!!! It's covered in red velvets and golds almost throughout the entire building. The box office goes to the outside (so you buy your tickets before coming inside). When you walk in, the first thing you see is the concession stand to the right. They have popcorn, some candy options, and soft drinks. They also sell some souvenirs type things like T-shirts, coffee mugs, etc. To the left, you'll see a wall of mirrors and a bench for seating. I'm not exactly sure what the seating is there for, but maybe if the lines get really long or something, or if you get there really early before the actual theater is open. Then straight ahead is one set of stairs leading to the balcony area. There is another set of stairs if you walk a few more feet forward, also leading to the balcony area. This second set of stairs has a smallish golden statue of a woman at the bottom of the rail, and you can touch her foot for good luck if you want! At the bottom of the stairs are bathrooms. When you go upstairs there is a lobby area, more bathrooms, and an entrance to the ballroom that's connected to the theater. Inside the theater itself is beautiful! They just don't make (local) theaters that look like this anymore. They totally should though, because it's incredible. Like the rest of the building, it's covered in red and gold. The details are extremely intricate when you look around. I can only imagine how much work went into making it look so incredible. There are plenty of seats and they are standard theater seats as far as comfort. Almost every seat it the theater (which again is quite a few) has a small plaque on it dedicating it to someone... I think that's kind of cool! The stage is a nice size. It's not huge but it's definitely big. Another really cool thing to mention is that because it's an older theater, it still has all of the old fashioned tech stuff in place. And by tech, I mean no tech, so there's lots of ropes and levers and things on the wings of the stage that make it look really cool! They also have an organ to the side of the stage which is probably one of their prouder features. They seem to use it a lot for events. Like they do a lot of live playing of it along with silent movies or famous movies (I think they recently did Wizard of Oz). Anyway, worth a visit if you ever find yourself in the area and if the timing works out. Jealous that I don't have a theater like this in Tulsa!!

    We stopped in just an hour before they closed to add an attraction to our Route 66 trip and was it worth it! We were showed around, got to explore whatever we wanted, and even got to hear the authentic organ from the 1920s play a song from Phantom! And free! They run on donations! It was great to hear a bit about the history and even some ghost tales! A great stop with great people! Thank you for this amazing experience.

    nice place but very quiet. Surprised they can stay open with so little business coming through…read more The day we were there, we were the only 2 people in the entire movie theater

    A group of us went to Bookhouse to celebrate our friend's birthday! Out of all the places I've been…read moreto in Joplin, this restaurant will definitely be one of my favorites. Not only was the food great but I just love the setting of this place. There is a small film area, lots of board games to have a cute board game night and even a backyard with live music!! As for food, I got the truffled grapes and a bahn mi with a side salad. All items were tasty and I felt very healthy after that meal!! The sauces/dressings they use are so tasty and really elevate the sandwich/salad. I wish they added a little more honestly! My only issues with this restaurant are they run out of some sides very quickly. My friends and I went at peak dinner time (5/6pm) and they didn't have a lot of sides left! I was really looking forward to trying the fries but I guess that means I just have to go back again! My other comment is the price. I spent roughly $12 for the sandwich and $6 for the grapes. As good as they were, the portion size for the price was a little bit unequal. I was still hungry after :( However, I do still highly recommend this place and would definitely want to go back (especially when they got a movie play!)
