21ST CENTURY AMENITIES WITH 19TH CENTURY CHARM

Welcome to the McPherson Opera House – Kansas premier performance venue and rental facility: 21st century amenities with 19th century charm.

A creative mix of acts during the performance season guarantees something for everyone. The rental spaces – auditorium, ballroom, CHS room, Rose Morris room, and Mary Anderson Arts Center – provide flexible, thoroughly modern, historically beautiful spaces for events of every kind.

Our Mission

The mission of the McPherson Opera House Company is “to establish McPherson Opera House as a historically significant gathering place for cultural, entertainment, and educational opportunities.”
