Well, would love to help, but last time checked Missouri is a pretty good sized state, and kinda diverse, being similar to Iowa up north and then more like Arkansas to the south, with varied aspects of the Midwest, North, and South tossed into the mix too... therefore, would help usins if we knew more about a general area that you are hankering; for example, do you prefer a larger city, one that has serious shopping potentials and multiple humans, or would you rather kick back in a rural area, with nothing but the sounds of tree frogs and crickets? Let us know more about what "local" area you are after.

What about income, do you have a job in mind or a steady income? That makes a lot of difference in where you can live too.

Would someone tell me what in the sam hill a technical theater job is? Is that the guy who flips on the projector? And what is a theater district? Does the area over around Forum Cinemas in Rolla qualify as a theater district? Just askin'.

St. Louis has a fair amount of theaters.

Do you mean like theaters with live plays and shows? I'm assuming that's what you mean.

If so, you could look into St. Louis. There's the Tivoli, the Fox Theater, the Moolah Theater, Roberts Orpheum Theater, just to name a few. The Keil Opera House is set to reopen in the next few years. Saint Louis University I think also has a theater in Midtown.

Branson may be good, too, but it is a smaller city.

I would suggest finding a job before you move anywhere.

I would think St. Louis or Branson would be your best bets. Why not see if you can transfer to a WalMart in either city, and then go from there?

If it is the Southern half of Missouri you are talking about being more resemblant to Arkansas but also with many retained Midwestern aspects to it, I'd agree. St. Louis and Kansas City and the Northern half of the state though are Midwestern. I think we're pretty much on the same page it sounds like.

A technical theatre Job is, a job in live theatre, opera not movie theatre. but it is doing the technical part like lights sound stage crew. i would consider an area with lots of theatre a theatre district.

Keil Opera House in St. Louis is set to open up in December of 2010. It's currently undergoing renovation. Of course that's a long time from now.

Really, most major cultural areas have some kind of opera house or live theater. Branson, Kansas City, and St. Louis I know do. Some other small cities probably have them as well.

Do you have a preference on the size of the city? Urban, suburban, rural?
