Clay and Tina recently treated the entire Clay Cooper Theatre team to a special employee night at RetroMania in Branson. The evening included incredible food at the New Wave Café, where everyone had time to relax, visit and enjoy one another’s company. More than simply a fun night out, it was a meaningful opportunity for employees to spend quality time together away from the busy theatre schedule. Sharing a meal together, laughing, and making memories strengthened the sense of belonging amongst the team and reminded everyone that they are a valued part of the Clay Cooper Theatre family.

Everyone got into the spirit of the evening by dressing in their 1980s-inspired costumes, complete with bright colors and plenty of totally rad accessories! After dinner, the team explored RetroMania and took a trip back to the ’80s. From classic arcade and pinball machines to pool, darts and black-light mini golf, there was something fun around every corner. Team members posed for plenty of pictures among the colorful movie memorabilia and nostalgic displays, and some even worked together to take on the Back to the Future escape room.

We are grateful to Clay and Tina for putting together such a fun night for our team. A big thank-you also goes to RetroMania for their wonderful hospitality and for helping make the evening so enjoyable. We love our theatre family—and this was another example of “Real People Having a Real Good Time”!
