"Little Miss Moonshine"
Friday, March 13
Mosley Street Melodrama

In a tiny Kansas town where the Little Miss Moonshine pageant is taken very seriously, longtime rivals Etta Lou Hatfield and Lula May McCoy are locked in a fierce battle for a historic tenth crown. Their obsession pulls in family members, sparks outrageous schemes, and turns rehearsals into full-blown showdowns. But when the pageant’s rules, and secrets, are flipped upside down, an unexpected contestant takes center stage.

Then following intermission, enjoy our Billy Joel Jukebox Revue!

Dome Theater Shows at Exploration Place
Friday, March 13
Exploration Place

Whether your visit includes exploring the exhibits or catching a show on its own, the Dome theater is a Wichita attraction not to be missed!

Immerse yourself under the soaring 60-foot screen with a 360-degree view and booming surround sound in the largest dome theater in Kansas. Experience first hand why the magnitude of an immersive cinematic journey, developed specifically for the curved complexities of a dome screen, can’t be replicated in a traditional theater setting. The only question is… where do you want the Dome to take you?
