An announcement made this month shows there’s a gold rush brewing in Branson. Last fall, owners of the Mansion – which dates back to the 1990s as a showcase of musical entertainment like Michael Bolton, The Oak Ridge Boys, Rhonda Vincent and Tony Orlando – announced a new focus for the 3,000-seat theater perched above Shepherd of the Hills Expressway. The Mansion would be renamed the “Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts” and would add touring Broadway-style productions to its offerings.

Turns out that was just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Mansion Entertainment Group has set its sights on bringing Hollywood to southwest Missouri, too.

Wilhite says “it came to our attention that there was a great opportunity in the motion picture, TV, animation and music industry for facilities in the area with the ability to create and produce these needs.”

These are the components announced as part of the Mansion Entertainment Group:

• Mansion Animation” with teams in Missouri and Europe. The original CGI animation arm is currently in production on a new animated film which will premiere in major film festivals worldwide later this year and is in pre-development for a full-length animated musical motion picture.

• “Mansion Sound,” opening in late spring 2022 at the Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts, features unique audio production and post-production studios for motion pictures/ television and music, Wilhite says. “New state-of-the-art custom-made equipment exclusive to Mansion Sound is currently not available anywhere else in the world.”
