What’s Happening at MACOA
Spirits of the Parkland
History has a few stories it doesn’t want you to forget…
Step into an evening of theatrical storytelling as Spirits of the Parkland brings the Mineral Area’s past to life through historical accounts, local legends, ghost stories, and tales passed down through generations.
Presented in partnership with the Saint Francois County Historical Society, this unique community event invites you to discover the fascinating—and sometimes downright spooky—stories hiding in our own backyard. Part history lesson, part theatrical experience, and part spooky night out.
And best of all, your attendance helps preserve the past. Proceeds will benefit cemetery preservation efforts throughout Saint Francois County.

Help Us Create an Even Bigger Impact
As MACOA begins its 45th Season, we're launching our annual fundraiser with an ambitious goal of raising $20,000 to expand arts opportunities throughout our community.
Every donation helps provide scholarships, artist workshops, professional theatre productions, K–12 arts support, grants for school fine arts programs, community events, and our new Fine Arts Discovery Camp for children.
Last year, thousands of students and community members participated in our programs, and with your support, we can reach even more artists, performers, and families this season.
No gift is too small—every dollar helps strengthen the arts in our region. Consider making a $45 donation in honor of our 45th season and become part of the community that believes creativity changes lives. Together, we can continue inspiring, educating, and connecting our community through the arts.
The Last Night at the Club
One last night. One unforgettable performance. And secrets that refuse to stay backstage.
Step into the dazzling, intimate world of The Last Night at the Cabaret, an immersive theatrical experience where the line between performer and audience begins to disappear. Set inside a once-glamorous cabaret on its final night, the evening unfolds through music, storytelling, laughter, and unexpected twists as the performers prepare to take their final bow.
But behind the glitter, there are stories waiting to be told, and perhaps a few things the cast would rather leave buried.
With live performance, memorable characters, and an atmosphere designed to pull you into the story, The Last Night at the Cabaret promises an evening unlike anything else in the Mineral Area.
Come for the show. Stay for the secrets.
