Augusta, Missouri
Wine country has the views. It does not have a cinema screen and 120 seats.
Augusta has become one of the prettiest places in Missouri to hold an event, and for a summer afternoon it is hard to beat. The difficulty arrives when the event needs a roof, a screen, a microphone and a seat for everybody.
Half an hour north there is a room that does all four. 120 tiered seats, a stage, a 35-foot silver screen with a professional projector, and house sound with wireless microphones — plus somebody running it so nobody in your family has to.
Families and clubs out this way use it for the indoor half of things: the memorial with a photo tribute, the winter gathering, the awards evening, the film night.
Check a DateHighway 94 north through Defiance to Highway 64 west, then the WingHaven Boulevard exit — around half an hour.
It is a scenic run rather than a hard one, and parking is free and immediately outside.
A boutique theater, not a function room: 120 tiered seats, a full stage, a 35-foot silver cinema screen with a professional projector, front-of-house sound and wireless microphones — with somebody here running the technical side for you.
Milestone birthdays, family reunions, graduations, anniversaries and watch parties in a room with a stage and a 35-foot screen.
Photographs and home video seen properly, by everyone at once, with microphones for anyone who wants to speak.
All-hands meetings, launches, training days and keynotes in tiered seating that points every seat at the speaker.
The whole cinema for one group — premieres, birthday screenings, finales, and console gaming on the big screen.
Podcasts, comedy specials and corporate video shot on a real stage, with an audience and a screen-sized backdrop.
Comedy, music and theater, either ours or yours — producers can run their own night here through the partner program.
Same room, same drive, different starting point.
