Where we go from here

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 evaluating a return to the stage in 2021 on an ongoing basis. Please check back for updates.

To support Kansas City Actors Theatre during this “intermission” period, please DONATE.

Thank you for your patience.

“I can’t deny I was invested in the emotional journey. St. Nicholas is an engaging tale laced with vibrant images and memorable scenes.”

“As usual, Raider-Wexler is great.”

“I attended the opening night… I was also attending the closing night of the show, though I didn’t know it at the time.”
