Burgdorff is the focus of performing arts in Maplewood. Located in a historic stone building near the center of downtown, Burgdorff's programming is managed by ArtsMaplewood. Several groups, such as The Strollers theater, and What Exit? Theatre Company, use the building for their performances, but it also hosts concert series and other events. In addition to the theater productions and concert series, there are also several classes for children — improv, musical theater, and a class called the Fairytail Playhouse, where kids are cast in a "fractured fairy tale" and learn how to take their show from rehearsals to performances.
