Can you elaborate on the Corn Crib Theater?

This brochure is from 1971...

Condensing what we have on the site...

It was between where the Blue Bayou Inn and Jim Stafford Theater are located, and across from the Lodge of the Ozarks.  There is a T-shirt place that sits on the location now.

Below is a link that outlines mush of the information about the Corn Crib Theater.

Some good reading there Rube, thanks. I also noticed the brochure says "4 miles west of Branson". How times have changed.

The writer of the Toby Show article is the daughter of my Branson High School Drama teacher, Kurt Larsen. Dawn Larsen is now a college professor, and when she was active in the Branson entertainment scene (same time I was) she worked at the old Lost Silver Mine play, and I think she also was involved with the Toby Show and maybe Shepherd of the Hills in some capacity. A very good gal, who prowled the halls of high school at the same time I did.
