Joplin Little Theatre — Attraction in Joplin

It is a nice space, voices project very well, as does the photographer's camera sporadically clattering away through over half of a recent performance I attended, who was positioned right at the very back of the theater (so as to ensure optimum noise projection), who was seemingly given license to do so from staff, based on the brief conversation they had DURING THE PERFORMANCE?!?!
