Screenland at the Crossroads
View Rooms
You will find us at the corner of 17th and Washington, just one block west of Broadway. (You can't miss our Marquee rescued from the historic Isis Theatre where a very young Walt Disney showed some of his earliest cartoons made right here in Kansas City).
Located on the edge of the Crossroads and Film Row Districts, Screenland is a fully renovated creative office center, movie theatre and event center. Built in 1913 as a cold storage facility, it has been transformed into one of the most distinctive buildings in the Crossroads Arts District.
After a year of refurbishment, Screenland holds a variety of tenants from advertising agencies to consultants and attorneys. In addition to office space, our special event facility measures over 9,000 square feet in floor space.
The building is innovative, inspirational and a perfect merger of the Film Arts with Kansas City nostalgia.
Also, Screenland is within walking distance of the future home of the Performing Arts Center. It is perfect for Weddings & Receptions; Rehearsal Dinners; Corporate Events; Social Events; Business Meetings; Anniversary Parties; Birthday Parties; Theme Parties and Holiday Parties. We can accommodate 500+ guests for your function.
Screenland has one very important feature that no other venue in Kansas City has: a full service motion picture theatre, capable of both film and digital video projection. The sound system is the finest in Kansas City. Seating 150, from film to DVD to Power Point, the presentation looks magnificent and impressive on the 26 foot screen.

Never forgetting our history but always performing in the present, Screenland Theatre is a perfect locale for private screenings, intense audio/visual presentations, educational forums, new product introductions and company outings.

The Gallery
Dimensions: 46' x 47'

Celebrate the rich heritage of Kansas City through the lens of the camera of the Honorable "Dick" Berkley, former Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri. He has captured many faces, milestones and places of Kansas City on film.
The Gallery is a perfect setting for registration/welcoming area, receptions, boutique displays and informal meetings. Paying tribute to Kansas City's rich film heritage, you can wonder the gallery and other spaces while learning about everything from Walt Disney's Kansas City days to all of our area's Oscar winners.
The Cafe and Patio
Welcome your guests into a private reception prior to the Show or Dinner. The Cafe and Patio (weather permitting) highlight the raw beauty of the building while blending in contemporary lighting and film archives. The Cafe and Patio are a perfect gathering place for an after-hour reception, benefactor reception or out-of-the-office luncheon. The Patio is becoming the Midwest's home to the stars with its handprints in the sidewalk.
The Green Room
Dimensions: 22' x 28'
Seating Capacity: 5-30 guests
Positioned next to the entry to the theatre, this room is perfect for a V.I.P. reception or board retreat. With exposed brick wall, accent lighting plays on the unique metal artwork that the room showcases.
