Ample parking is provided in a lot across the street. The building itself is a marvel to behold, full of antique movie posters and decorations from past and present. It even boasts 11 red recliner leather chairs in the center of the theater for those who arrive early. Butch Rigby remodeled an old frozen fish cold storage building into an art deco office building and theatre. The Screenland theatre will serve as a film center for the Kansas City region. He will bring films to the big screen that will not otherwise see theatrical exhibition in our town. Butch will further strive to give young filmmakers and artists the opportunity to show their films to an audience. For more information go to their website:
