KCRep for All breaks down economic and geographic barriers and makes theatre walls more permeable as KCRep travels across Kansas City to meet people in their communities.
Kansas City Repertory Theatre has announced the 2024 tour schedule of KCRep for All, a FREE community tour bringing the magic of theatre throughout Kansas City in community centers, public libraries, and non-profit organization spaces. KCRep for All is in its third year and has been met with enthusiasm and glowing reviews.
KCRep for All breaks down economic and geographic barriers and makes theatre walls more permeable as KCRep travels across Kansas City to meet people in their communities. This program is inspired by The Old Globe’s Globe for All program in San Diego. This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Performing the same script as seen on KCRep’s main stages, the show is re-staged and re-imagined to be performed for people where they live. Following its public run at Copaken Stage, Nina Simone: Four Women will embark on the third annual KCRep for All tour across the Kansas City metro, with performance dates from March 7 through March 17. Tour patrons see the show free of charge. More information about KCRep for All can be found at kcrep.org/kcrep-for-all/.
Nina Simone: Four Women, written by Christina Ham and directed by Malkia Stampley, is a searing night of theatre which imagines how the iconic chanteuse gave voice to countless Black women fighting to overcome stereotypes and racism.
The free, community expansive tour is led by Director of Arts Engagement Morgana Wilborn. She stated, " I am so excited to bring KCREP for All tour to life. Bringing the journey of this extraordinary woman who travels down a path of discovery and healing to new audiences promises to be a powerful theatrical intersection of art, social justice, and history. These are not just stops on a map; they are the threads that weave the fabric of our community together."
