At the mezzanine level, the Cherry Street Artisan will have a concession stand at which they will sell their products.

The grand dome on the ceiling of the main room of the Missouri Theatre is encircled by exquisite gold crown molding that is anchored by ruby, sapphire, emerald and amethyst jewel-toned ovals.

The center of the main dome was painted in a ruby jewel tone and will cast light in the same way a genuine gem stone would when projectors light projectors point at it.

New molding work is painted in silver and gold to stay true to the original feel at the mezzanine level of the Missouri Theatre.

Ornaments painted in gold and silver on the walls and balconies of the theater are seen through the scaffolding used by the renovation workers .
