Kansas City, MO October 10, 2014 – Fresh from
celebrating its 40th anniversary of providing
quality children's programming to Kansas City's
young people on October 4th with a spectacular
gala, Theatre for Young America opens its 41st
season with a favorite children's tale, The
Adventures of Nate the Great. The play will run
from October 21 through November 15, 2014 on the
H&R Block City Stage, on level B in Union Station.

Pamela Sterling, former Coterie Artistic Director,
adapted this comic mystery from the famous Nate
the Great series of books by award-winning writer
Marjorie Weinman Sharmat. As Nate dons a trench
coat and a Sherlock Holmes hat to investigate
mysteries, his adventures are depicted in a film
noir style, complete with a jazz music background.
Nate's trusty dog Sludge and his friend Rosamond
team up with Nate to use their brains and problem-
solving skills to find all the answers to
children's most pressing questions. But even as
"the greatest kid detective" solves important
cases, he always remembers to leave a note for
this mother and to wear his galoshes.

Valerie M. Mackey directs this adventurous tale.
The cast includes: Wil Andrews-Weiss, Adrian
Foster, Hannah Freeman, Mia Hedgpeth-Guerra, Sara
Kennedy, Evan Lovelace, Parry Luellen, and
Alexandria Washington. Xanda Pilley stage manages.
