The Crown Jewel of The Ozarks
Since 2006, community members have taken their place in Springfield theatre history through the Take-A-Seat Campaign. Each plaque on the back of a seat in the historic Landers Theatre honors a loved one, celebrates a milestone, or marks a lifelong love of live theatre.
