Jim Stafford, nationally known entertainer and Branson, Missouri theater owner, announced this morning that shows in his theater would go on as scheduled. The Jim Stafford Theatre had some wind damage last night. The event was widely reported and Jim wants to reassure his customers that “neither rain nor sleet, nor snow nor unusually high winds would keep him away from his theater; the show will go on!”
In addition to the Jim Stafford Show, his theater is also home to the Doug Gabriel Morning Show and to the 50’s At The Hop show. Both of those shows will also continue with their regular schedules. (Press Release)
