Dates: October 7-24, 2021
Location: City Stage at Union Station
Director: John Rensenhouse
Featuring:
Victor Raider-Wexler, Vi Tran, Kathleen Warfel & Marisa B. Tejeda
“I can’t think of a better companion piece to Union Station’s Auschwitz exhibition…’Four Children’ reminds us that brutality is a legacy we have yet to outrun.”
– Liz Cook, KC Studio
“Marisa B. Tejeda delivers a stand-out performance as Nadja, capturing the creeping terror of living ‘from siren to siren’ during the four-year siege of Sarajevo. Tejeda’s performance is urgent and incisive; their gaze lingers just slightly on the audience after each passage, as if daring us to look away.”
– Liz Cook, KC Studio
“I don’t have many gushing descriptors left to toss at Victor Raider-Wexler, a peerless performer who could make a soap opera out of an instruction manual.”
– Liz Cook, KC Studio
We are proud to announce an important new direction that Kansas City Actors Theatre is taking to improve representation of black people, indigenous people, and people of color within our institution, on our stages, and behind the scenes, and to promote anti-racist policies and practices as an organization.

Following the public health crisis surrounding the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in early March, Kansas City Actors Theatre canceled its remaining run of “St. Nicholas” and postponed all future productions. We thank everyone for all their love and support as we handle the specifics of these delays day-by-day.
At this time, we are planning on returning to the stage with Four Children, a world premiere play, starting October 7th through 24th. All audience members, staff and volunteers are required to be vaccinated. Our full list of COVID-19 Protocols can be found: HERE.
We will be announcing a full return to the stage with Season 18 starting May of 2022. Check back for updates on Season 18.
