Branson Theaters
In Branson, there is something for everyone, an extravaganza to experience every day. And the town’s theaters only add to the lineup. Each show is as different as the theater that houses it. Take a look at some of the features that make Branson theaters among the best in the country!
Andy Williams Performing Arts Center and Theater
Located on West Highway 76 on 16 acres of conservation award-winning landscape, this 48,000-square-foot theater was designed by Andy Williams himself. Andy was a pioneer of sorts in Branson – the first non-country artist to build a theater in this Ozark entertainment area. His theater is now the venue for country and non-country artists, magicians, and comedians as well as two over-the-top Christmas shows. Check out the Celebrity Weekend Concerts at www.andywilliamspac.com. Information on this beautiful theater as well as performance schedules are available at 1-800-MOON-094 or on the website.
