Description

Specialties

Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts presents an annual season of professional performances, including nationally touring Broadway shows, dance, music, comedy, theatre, jazz, and family entertainment.

History

Established in 1992.

Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts is the realization of a dream that began in the 1960s — to conceive, create and construct a state-​of-​the-​art performing arts center to serve the needs of Springfield, Missouri and the surrounding region.

The Hall is named for the wife of well-​known developer, entrepreneur and philanthropist John Q. Hammons, in recognition of the couple’s major donation to the venue’s capital campaign. Located on the campus of Missouri State University, Juanita K. Hammons Hall opened with a gala celebration in October 1992, and since that time has continued to meet and exceed the expectations of arts enthusiasts.

Hammons Hall is just a moment away from downtown, on the edge of the Missouri State campus. It shares some of its space with MSU — a few professors’ offices, audio engineering, and a large rehearsal room — but the biggest perk is the hall. Of all the college visits I had (and all of the campuses who were proud of their orchestra hall) nothing even came close to the facilities at HHPA.
I’ve played here with the MSU Symphony and the Springfield Symphony, and the space is top notch. HHPA gets some good shows to come to Springfield, ranging from Broadway and ballet to more famous names like Ben Folds and Jerry Seinfeld. The lobby is gorgeous too with the multiple balconies and curved glass front.
Another beautiful thing is the convenient (!), free (!) parking in a five-​story garage behind the hall.

This place is acoustically fabulous. We’ve enjoyed the symphony perform here, and have also enjoyed other music groups that are not classical that performed at Juanita K.

Gorgeous venue for any live act, but particularly wonderful for concerts. I’ve seen classical musicians as well as pop stars in this beautiful place and have never been disappointed. I love JKH Hall.
