Starlight now taking applications for Community tickets

Starlight Theatre is continuing its 64-year-old
tradition of offering free nights of Broadway
musicals to not-for-profit groups serving
individuals who might otherwise miss out.

Since the theatre's inaugural season in 1951, the
Starlight Community Ticket Program has distributed
364 free tickets every night of every Broadway
performance to select groups and the individuals
they serve.

Applications for the Starlight Community Ticket
Program are now being accepted for Starlight's
2014 Broadway season. This year, not-for-profit
501(c)(3) organizations operating in Kansas and
Missouri may choose from five Broadway shows at
Starlight – a total of 31 performance nights with
more than 11,200 free tickets available. In 2013,
113 local not-for-profit organizations received
free tickets through this program.

"The Starlight Community Ticket Program focuses on
groups dedicated to enhancing the lives of
underprivileged and at-risk youth, the medically
dependent or disabled, and low-income older
adults. We do, however, also try to give all new
groups that apply at least some of the tickets
they request provided that they meet our
qualifications," said Bob Potemski, Starlight
House Manager and program administrator.

Starlight's 2014 Broadway Season: The Wizard of Oz
(June 10-June 15), We Will Rock You (June 17-22),
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (July
8-13), The Sound of Music (July 25-31), and Blue
Man Group (September 9-14).

Community Ticket applications and program details
are available at kcstarlight.com under "Education
and Outreach" or by contacting Bob Potemski at
community@kcstarlight.com or 816.997.1163. A
completed application packet must be received no
