The seating is comfy and lights and sound were great. I attended "Plume" from local playwright Mike Rice as part of the KC Fringe Festival 2022 on it's opening night. A 5 actor ensemble that was a no holds barred 45 minutes of intense drama featuring adult language and violence - Excellent! Keep the kids at home! Besides annually co-hosting Fringe Festival performances City Stage is also the current home for Theater for Young America and KC Actors Theater.

KCMPT is an African American theatre company and puts on thought provoking pieces. JOB also has many other local groups that stage productions there ( music, dance, spoken word... ). The theater is open seating, but it's "in the round." The seating is on risers around the stage, so there isn't a bad view in the house! The theater is in Penn Valley park, just north of Indigo Wild. There is a parking lot on the south side of the building.

It's one of my favorite plays. With a cast of two, it's a big load for the actors. They were wonderful!! Both of them were lovely and did this fine work great justice. Wednesday and Thursday are "Community Pricing" nights so the tickets are $10 cheaper. That's great on the wallet. The theater is very nice and professional. The set was fantastic! Wardrobe and makeup were spot on. I am very impressed and grateful I made it to see this show before the end of the run.

We enjoyed the bar area and got some yummy sangria from very friendly bartenders. The theatre itself is small but has comfy bench seating and there is no bad view. We pad a bit extra for VIP tickets and we're seated front and center. The play was very well done with a great story and great actors. We were surprised by the reception with actors after the show. There were many savory and sweet snacks available for free. Parking is available out back for a fee or you can fine a free spot on the street out back like we did.

I've been several times and have enjoyed a variety of shows. While many of the performances are geared toward children, adults will enjoy them just as much. If you catch an early show, be sure to get your parking validated, it covers parking for the entire day, giving you plenty of time to explore the surrounding area afterward.

You know what is the best sound in the entire world?…read more The sound of children laughing. The happiness of youth, giggling and smiling, eyes full of wonder and laughs full of joy. It's all the better when the source of their mirth is in three dimensions versus on a screen (not that some of that isn't funny). It's even exponentially better when the action is not only in front of them but AROUND them. I accompanied my lovely teacher wife's 4th grade to the Coterie for a field trip. A talented troupe of young performers put on a version of 'A Wrinkle in Time', a fabulous fantasy story that this group of 4th graders had been reading to start the school year. To see their faces as the story in which they had invested so much time come to life was phenomenal! The fact that not only can audience members (mostly children) sit SO close to the stage but that some of the action happens out IN the audience is chef's kiss! The actors keep the audience engaged and somewhat mesmerized and since there is no photography allowed, everyone's attention span is much longer. Even the 'special effects' are well-done, from lighting to very creative costume design. There is not a bad seat in the house and tickets are pretty affordable. You can get concessions there or maybe even save your appetite for Fritz's or the candy shop across the way. If you're there during the week, then don't be surprised if there are groups of kids with chaperones (like us!) or maybe a day camp or two in the summer. And if you park in the Crown Center garage, then be sure to get your parking ticket validated, if not at the Coterie then at a shop inside. Great experience and great value!

The Quality Hill Playhouse (and its kindred spirit, the Chestnut Fine Arts Center in Olathe) put on full seasons of shows featuring the best in American popular music. Tonight I went with my family to celebrate some birthdays by seeing "Lets Do It," an evening devoted to the lyrics of the immortal Cole Porter. It was de-lightful, de-licious and de-lovely! The theater is small, so all the seats are good. It has been refurbished recently, and looks very nice! The theater staff were very kind and accommodating -- we had originally bought tickets for the Wednesday night show, but my elderly parents were nervous about going out because of the severe weather we were having that day. The theater exchanged the tickets for tonight and, because of the severe weather issue, waived their usual $5 per ticket exchange fee. That was a nice thing to do! This was the final show of the season. Next year's season will feature shows highlighting Noël Coward and Gertrude Lawrence and the songs of Rodgers and Hart, Comden and Green, and Kander and Ebb. (Kander is originally from K.C.) See their website for specific details, or for subscription information. The shows are very well done, with excellent selections of songs and thoroughly professional performances. There's parking available in the garage of which the theater is actually a part (it occupies the street level of the building). It's usually $6. So go and enjoy!!!

Some of these places host special events, like we saw big party for New Year's celebration. They also closed many of the roads for the crowd.

The street car also runs through the area. The area seemed clean and safe in general but we saw some shady individuals standing in street corners around night time.

The experience is easy to follow. You wear a wristband and scan it throughout different themed rooms as you explore. I loved how immersive it was, with puzzles, games, interactive activities, and lots of great photo opportunities. There are mirrored rooms and movie theater and my favorite was the 1990's nostalgia room. They also have a pizza restaurant, gift shop, speakeasy bar, arcade, and live entertainment every hour, which made it easy to enjoy your time there. I ordered a cocktail at the speak easy and it was just okay. Overall, I thought $40 was a little more than I expected to pay, but I appreciated that it wasn't overcrowded and there was always something fun to discover in each room. I'd definitely recommend it if you've got two hours to burn.

Atlas 9 is a combination of movie theater (extra cost), art installations, interactive puzzles, a…read morefew costumed characters, small performances, arcade games (for extra cost), and foods/drinks (for extra cost). It fills a niche spot that KC did not have prior to Atlas 9's arrival. I would say that although you can bring children here, the puzzles are geared more toward adults due to their complexity and where things are physically placed (higher than waist level for some). Children can still enjoy the whimsy/weird interactive environment and play in the arcade though. You could spend a whole day here if you wanted to be a completionist and read every single clue to complete the puzzles correctly, or choose to skip the puzzles altogether and spend about 3 hours just going through all the different rooms and watching their small performances (a couple dancers, an aerial silk artist, a saxophone player). Your experience could be greatly affected depending on how busy it is though, since the puzzle stations often require each person to spend some time there, creating a line of people waiting to use the station. It can be kind of pricey at: --$40 per adult --$20 per child aged 3-12 --$25 per adult WYN county --$15 per child WYN county --$25 per "hero" if you're a teacher, nurse, EMT, firefighter, police officer, active military, or veteran --$25 per senior aged 60+ However, on Tuesdays, tickets are "Half Off:" --$20 per adult --$15 per child aged 3-12 (not truly half off) --$17.50 per adult WYN county --$12.50 per child WYN county (not truly half off) --$17.50 per "hero" if you're a teacher, nurse, EMT, firefighter, police officer, active military, or veteran --$17.50 per senior aged 60+ There is plenty of free parking in their private parking lot. Tickets are for timed entry, and they ask that you simply arrive within 30 minutes of your scheduled time. Overall, I'd recommend this place on a Tuesday if you've never been. However, I felt like it was something that would probably only be worth visiting once unless they continuously changed the rooms/environment.
