Kirkwood mayor reportedly displeased with non-profit that runs performing arts center

The mayor of Kirkwood is reportedly displeased with the non-profit organization responsible for operating the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center. This development comes as the center, located at 210 E Monroe Ave. in Kirkwood, hosted a showing of the Tony award-winning musical ‘Come From Away’ on Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2026. Patrons were seen entering and exiting the venue during the event, while the facility remained a focal point of the current administrative tension.
