The three shows selected showcase the wonderful talent of Missouri playwrights, the exciting history and stories of Missouri’s culture and heritage, and the majestic landscapes of this beautiful state. The season continues with “PLAN 9!:The Musical from Outer Space” Book by Chris Bowling & Meg Phillips Crespy with Music & Lyrics by J. West: August 19-22, August 26-29, & September 2-5. Box office opens at 7pm and the show begins at 8pm. Tickets are $13 for adults and $5 for kids 10 and up. Visit MaplewoodBarn.com for more info.
Written by local actors from Columbia, Missouri, PLAN 9! is a loving homage to the works of Z-list filmmaker Ed Wood and his magnum opus “Plan 9 From Outer Space,” widely regarded as the worst movie ever made. This cult classic has been reimagined as a rock and roll stage musical, replacing the unintentional comedy of the original with very intentional laughs. After their first 8 plans, each more ridiculous than the last, have failed, three inept aliens have hit upon the ultimate weapon: an “army of the dead” consisting of a paltry three zombies. Can our hapless Earthling heroes survive the onslaught?

Mail art is a highly accessible form of art that anyone can participate in. Our goal is to receive mail art from 200 Missourians, as well people from across the world. Many pieces received will be a part of the mail art exhibit, which will be inside Joplin Public Library from March 1, 2021 – January 31, 2022, and all pieces will become a part of our mail art collection. The 2021 exhibit and call for mail art is in partnership with Connect2Culture and Joplin Public Library.

Written by local actors from Columbia, Missouri, PLAN 9! is a loving homage to the works of Z-list filmmaker Ed Wood and his magnum opus “Plan 9 From Outer Space,” widely regarded as the worst movie ever made. This cult classic has been reimagined as a rock and roll stage musical, replacing the unintentional comedy of the original with very intentional laughs. After their first 8 plans, each more ridiculous than the last, have failed, three inept aliens have hit upon the ultimate weapon: an “army of the dead” consisting of a paltry three zombies. Can our hapless Earthling heroes survive the onslaught?
