Theatre Atchison

Dozens of volunteers, both on stage and behind the scenes, present a year-round season of four plays and a musical at Theatre Atchison. In June and July, a summer theatre camp gives youth the chance to participate in “Summerstage.”

Muchnic Art Gallery

For the art-minded, the Muchnic Art Gallery offers monthly displays of art by regional and national artists in a spectacular Queen Anne-style mansion.  It is administered by the Atchison Art Association

Atchison Musical Arts Society

Live Musical performances take place throughout the year, organized by the Atchison Musical Arts Society.  Three times a year, professional, classically-oriented musicians, dancers or singers from around the world perform under the sponsorship of the Atchison Community Concerts Association.

The Benedictine College/Atchison Community Orchestra and the Riverbend Concert Choir draw on the talents of adult and youth musicians and singers from the Atchison, St. Joseph and Leavenworth areas.  Summer sounds is a free concert series that showcases local and regional acts every Tuesday evening in June in the 500 block of the Atchison Pedestrian Mall.
