THE ADDAMS FAMILY
February 27 – March 15
Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa RATED PG
Lyrics & Book by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice Industry Night: March 9th
Based on the characters created by Charles Addams
THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story, and it's every father's nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family - a man her parents have never met. And if that weren't upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he's never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's 'normal' boyfriend and his parents. Nominated for two Tony Awards during the 2011 – 2012 Broadway season.
SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION May 31 – June 14
By John Guare RATED R
Industry Night: June 8th
Inspired by a true story, the play follows the trail of a young black con man, Paul, who insinuates himself into the lives of a wealthy New York couple, Ouisa and Flan Kittredge, claiming he knows their son at college. Paul tells them he is the son of actor Sidney Poitier, and that he has just been mugged and all his money is gone. Captivated by Paul's intelligence and his fascinating conversation (and the possibility of appearing in a new Sidney Poitier movie), the Kittredges invite him to stay. Winner of the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play in 1991.
EQUUS July 31 – August 15
By Peter Shaffer RATED R
Industry Night: August 10th
Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses in a violent fit of passion. This very passion is as foreign to Dysart as the act itself. To the boy's parents it is a hideous mystery; Alan has always adored horses. To Dysart it is a psychological puzzle that leads both doctor and patient to a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation. This international success reached new acclaim in London and on Broadway when revived in 2008. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Foreign Play and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best in 1975.
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE September 18 – October 4
New Music by Jeanine Tesori RATED PG
New Lyrics by Dick Scanlan Industry Night: September 28th
Book by Dick Scanlan & Richard Henry Morris
Original Story and Screenplay by Richard Morris for the Universal Pictures Film
Additional songs by James Van Heusen & Sammy Cahn / Jay Thompson / Sir Arthur Sullivan and W. S. Gilbert / Victor Herbert & Rida Johnson Young / Walter Donaldson, Sam Lewis & Joe Young
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is a high-spirited, zany new 1920's musical that took Broadway by storm, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical in the 2001 – 2002 season. Taking place in New York City in 1922, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. It's a New York full of intrigue and jazz - a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing forever. Based on the popular 1967 movie.
THE PRODUCERS November 6 - 22
Music & Lyrics by Mel Brooks RATED R
Book by Thomas Meehan Industry Night: November 16th
Based on the 1968 Film
A down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime For Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. Winner of a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, during the 2000 – 2001 Broadway season.
To submit an application or for more information, please contact

THE ADDAMS FAMILY
February 27 – March 15
Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa RATED PG
Lyrics & Book by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice Industry Night: March 9th
Based on the characters created by Charles Addams
THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story, and it's every father's nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family - a man her parents have never met. And if that weren't upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he's never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's 'normal' boyfriend and his parents. Nominated for two Tony Awards during the 2011 – 2012 Broadway season.
SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION May 31 – June 14
By John Guare RATED R
Industry Night: June 8th
Inspired by a true story, the play follows the trail of a young black con man, Paul, who insinuates himself into the lives of a wealthy New York couple, Ouisa and Flan Kittredge, claiming he knows their son at college. Paul tells them he is the son of actor Sidney Poitier, and that he has just been mugged and all his money is gone. Captivated by Paul's intelligence and his fascinating conversation (and the possibility of appearing in a new Sidney Poitier movie), the Kittredges invite him to stay. Winner of the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play in 1991.
EQUUS July 31 – August 15
By Peter Shaffer RATED R
Industry Night: August 10th
Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses in a violent fit of passion. This very passion is as foreign to Dysart as the act itself. To the boy's parents it is a hideous mystery; Alan has always adored horses. To Dysart it is a psychological puzzle that leads both doctor and patient to a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation. This international success reached new acclaim in London and on Broadway when revived in 2008. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Foreign Play and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best in 1975.
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE September 18 – October 4
New Music by Jeanine Tesori RATED PG
New Lyrics by Dick Scanlan Industry Night: September 28th
Book by Dick Scanlan & Richard Henry Morris
Original Story and Screenplay by Richard Morris for the Universal Pictures Film
Additional songs by James Van Heusen & Sammy Cahn / Jay Thompson / Sir Arthur Sullivan and W. S. Gilbert / Victor Herbert & Rida Johnson Young / Walter Donaldson, Sam Lewis & Joe Young
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is a high-spirited, zany new 1920's musical that took Broadway by storm, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical in the 2001 – 2002 season. Taking place in New York City in 1922, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. It's a New York full of intrigue and jazz - a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing forever. Based on the popular 1967 movie.
THE PRODUCERS November 6 - 22
Music & Lyrics by Mel Brooks RATED R
Book by Thomas Meehan Industry Night: November 16th
Based on the 1968 Film
A down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime For Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. Winner of a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, during the 2000 – 2001 Broadway season.

SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION May 31 – June 14
By John Guare RATED R
Industry Night: June 8th
Inspired by a true story, the play follows the trail of a young black con man, Paul, who insinuates himself into the lives of a wealthy New York couple, Ouisa and Flan Kittredge, claiming he knows their son at college. Paul tells them he is the son of actor Sidney Poitier, and that he has just been mugged and all his money is gone. Captivated by Paul's intelligence and his fascinating conversation (and the possibility of appearing in a new Sidney Poitier movie), the Kittredges invite him to stay. Winner of the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play in 1991.
EQUUS July 31 – August 15
By Peter Shaffer RATED R
Industry Night: August 10th
Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses in a violent fit of passion. This very passion is as foreign to Dysart as the act itself. To the boy's parents it is a hideous mystery; Alan has always adored horses. To Dysart it is a psychological puzzle that leads both doctor and patient to a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation. This international success reached new acclaim in London and on Broadway when revived in 2008. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Foreign Play and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best in 1975.

Taking place in New York City in 1922, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE tells the story of young Millie Dillmount, who has just moved to the city in search of a new life for herself. It's a New York full of intrigue and jazz - a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing forever. Based on the popular 1967 movie.
THE PRODUCERS November 6 - 22
Music & Lyrics by Mel Brooks RATED R
Book by Thomas Meehan Industry Night: November 16th
Based on the 1968 Film
A down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime For Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. Winner of a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, during the 2000 – 2001 Broadway season.

NEWS RELEASE

(816) 225-1018, cell
The Water is Rising!
Kansas City, Mo. (June 18, 2014) … and the train is trying to get through the flood! The Mystery Train continues its Tenth Season with another interactive whodunit, this time with a SteamPunk flair! "Legally Dead" opens June 27 and runs through Aug 16th, with performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings in your favorite restaurants. Starring (l to r) Tyler Miller, Nikki Susco-Taylor and Heather Elaine Rafferty as the shady characters in search of a killer.
"Legally Dead"—A would-be lawyer (in petticoats no less), a flood and a murder on the train makes for a SteamPunk adventure in 1903! Looks like a job for James East!
Murder mystery dinner theater is presented as a live interactive game, but not all dinner companions are who they seem: one of them may be an accomplice to murder—or even the murderer himself! Better put your goggles on.
The evening begins with seating and role-playing at 6:30 pm. Performances are at The Golden Ox, in downtown Kansas City and at Californos Westport. See our website for a complete schedule. Tickets are $59 each on Thursdays, $69 each on Fridays and Saturdays. Those prices include dinner, show, and gratuity. First Fridays are still $10 off, too. A cash bar is available. Advance reservations are required and can be made by calling (816) 813-9654. Or, order through the Central Ticket Office at 816-235-6222, or online at www.kcmysterytrain.com.
The Mystery Train offers group rates and is also available for private parties.

Of Mice and Men
Few stories accurately portray the powerful
emotional impact of The Great Depression more than
the classic Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.
Journeyman Theatre Company is proud to be
producing this iconic piece of American literature
at the Just Off Broadway Theatre to provoke and
entice conversations centered around these richly
developed characters and the similarities of our
current "Great Recession" versus the hardened
lessons of history. Journeyman invites the
audience to come see the show opening June 12.
Two drifters, George (played by Lucas T. McVey)
and his friend Lennie (Kevin Bickwermert), with
delusions of living off the "fat of the land,"
have just arrived at a ranch to work for enough
money to buy their own place. Lennie is a man-
child, a little boy in the body of a dangerously
powerful man. It is Lennie's obsession with things
soft and cuddly that have made George cautious
about who the gentle giant, with his brute
strength, associates with. His promise to allow
Lennie to "tend to the rabbits" on their future
land keeps Lennie calm, amidst distractions, as
the overgrown child needs constant reassurance.
But when a ranch boss' promiscuous wife is found
dead in the barn with a broken neck, it's obvious
that Lennie, albeit accidentally, killed her.
George, now worried about his own safety, knows
exactly where Lennie has gone to hide, and he
meets him there. Realizing they can't run away
anymore, George is faced with a moral question:
how should he deal with Lennie before the ranchers
find him and take matters into their own hands.
The Founding Artistic Director of Journeyman
Theatre Company, Gregory Chafin, has taken the
reins as director for Of Mice and Men pulling
together a strong cast. Alongside McVey and
Bickwermert, Kenna Hall plays Curley's Wife as the
sole female character in the production.
Accompanying the cast is Curley (Mike Ducey),
Candy (Rick Holzman), Slim (Jon Engle),
Carlson/Boss (Michael Foster), Whit (John Van
Winkle) and Crooks ( )
Don't miss this literary classic in motion with
its rare Kansas City performance! Steinbeck's
classic Of Mice and Men runs June 12th through the
14th at 7:30 pm and 15th at 2:30pm and the 19th
through 21st at 7:30 pm and Sunday the 22nd at
2:30pm. Tickets can be purchased at the door or at
journeymantheatre.com $20.00 for General Admission
and $15.00 Student/Senior Admission.

BILL W. AND DR. BOB KC Premiere - Friday, June 13
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 13, 2014
KANSAS CITY PREMIERE OF "BILL W. AND DR. BOB"
Powerful Off-Broadway Production Comes to Parkville
PARKVILLE, MO - BILL W. AND DR. BOB by Stephen Bergman and Janet Surrey is the first production of the Bell Road Barn Players 60th season in conjunction with Park University. It is also the premiere production of the play in the Kansas City area.
The play tells the story of Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith, co-founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. The AA program has been attributed with saving the lives of millions of suffering alcoholics and addicts since its inception in the early 1930s and the play tells of the unlikely meeting of these two men and the movement that came about of that - as well as the inception of the program Al-Anon for the family. The Kansas City recovery community support for the show has been overwhelming.
Critics have called the show "Eye-opening, entertaining, engrossing, touching" and actor Martin Sheen said of the Off-Broadway production: "…miraculous story, beautifully told, of the men who named the disease and created the cure."
Performances are June 13 through June 22 at the David Theater on the Park University campus.

Elektra
Murder! Exile! Sexual Frustration! Daddy Fixation!
Mommy Dearest! And Revenge!
Gorilla Theatre Productions Presents Euripides
"Elektra." On 28th and 29th June, at 7:30 AM,
Kansas City's own Gorilla Theatre will present
their production of Euripides' tragedy, "Elektra,"

Orestes, to Argos to avenge the murder of his
father, following his triumphant return from Troy.

of lives ruined by violence. At the center of the
drama is Agamemnon's daughter, Elektra, embittered
and angry at the privileged life torn from her by
her mother, Klytemnestra, and the mother's lover,
Aegisthus. Elektra will stop at nothing to get
her revenge.
The show begins at 7:30 A.M.on The Nelson-Atkins

a good seat by Rodin's "Thinker." Bring a lawn
chair on which to sit, as the grass is quite dewy
early in the AM. The production is free, but
donations are gratefully accepted, so please
remember to "feed the Gorillas."

(Community)
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THROUGH June 29, 2014

Leawood Stage Company

Sunday, June 29
TIME: 1:00 – 3:00 pm both days
LOCATION: Leawood City Hall, Maple Room
4800 Town Center Drive
Leawood, KS 66211
Leawood Stage Company to Hold Auditions for "A Little Night Music"
Leawood Stage Company will hold auditions for A Little Night Music on Saturday, June 28th and Sunday, June 29th from 1:00 – 3:00 pm each day in the Maple Room on the lower level of Leawood City Hall. Auditioners should enter through the north doors of the building.
Call backs will be held by invitation only on Saturday morning, July 12th in the same location.
Be prepared to sing 32 measures from any musical with live accompaniment. There will be an accompanist provided so all those who audition are requested to bring sheet music in your key. Bring a photo and resume if available. No appointment time is necessary.
LSC is pleased to welcome Tim Braselton in his directing debut. Tim has previously been involved with productions as music director and accompanist for show such as "Titanic: the Musical" and "Songs for a New World" as well as this summer's production of "Hello, Dolly".
A Little Night Music with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim is full of hilariously witty and moving moments of adoration, regret and desire. This dramatic musical celebration of love is perfect to showcase highly-trained singers with its harmonically-advanced score and masterful orchestrations.
Set in 1900 Sweden, A Little Night Music explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress Desirée Armfeldt and the men who love her. Both men, as well as their jealous wives, agree to join Desirée and her family for a weekend in the country at Desirée's mother's estate. With everyone in one place, infinite possibilities of new romances and second chances bring endless surprises.
