As Starlight winds down its season, many theaters kick off their 2026-27 seasons with new and returning plays and musicals as autumn descends on Kansas City with the gorgeous colors of falling leaves.
In this last gasp of summer, while FIFA crowds roam our avenues and thoroughfares and before school starts up in September, try one or more of these plays and musicals, live! onstage.
Electric Renaissance, a one-act play about the Harlem Renaissance at The Blue Room, is a perfect storm of Blackness, creativity, history and hope for the future.
Spring is upon us, and with it comes a bouquet of new productions. See what’s blooming on local KC stages, including these shows now (or soon to be) in full flower.
