WELCOME TO OUR THEATRE
KCMPT creates thought provoking, professional productions that reveal the rich contributions that African Americans
have made to the theatrical tradition in the United States.
As the premier African American theater company in Kansas City, our primary goal is to explore theatrical works, old and
new, that feature complex stories of African American life as a lens through which we realize our shared humanity. We
seek to build coalitions and partnerships across the diversity spectrum that can create bridges that facilitate
opportunities to understand and celebrate our similarities and our differences.

I was blown away by the acting in Sunset
Baby last night! Really powerful!
Diane Capps (patron)
A Raisin in the Sun was absolutely
marvelous! The actors were phenomenal!
And the set was amazing. I've enjoyed
theater for many years now and one thing
that I always pay close attention to are the
sets. I love sets...I love to go see how the
directors are going to 'set' the stage. Well,
in my opinion, this was one of the best that
I've seen in a long time. Perfect for the
time and reminded me so much of the
actual movie. I loved, enjoyed, was thrilled
every minute. Congratulations on a very
successful production with many more to
follow.

It (Radio Golf) was one of the best
productions I've seen from KCMPT. You and
your team really nailed it. Congratulations

There's this family atmosphere that Harvey
and Linda create, and you know it's genuine..
along with the respect that they give to the
actors and crew.. I literally have separation
issues for awhile after a KC Melting Pot show
that I'm in closes.

I love speaking and acting, but never had
the opportunity to show my speaking
ability until I auditioned for a part in the
play Rachel at KCMPT. Thank you Mr. and
Mrs. Williams, Ms. Nicole and KCMPT for
believing in me and my talents, and I look
forward to my next performance!

KCMPT Film, TV & New Media Division - Stay tuned into our
IG, Twitter, and FB pages for two new web series from KCMPT.
Project Onyx created by Nicole Hodges Persley and a new
untitled series featuring hot new plays and performers from
around the country starting soon.
Our Director of New Play Development is at it again!
"This is another development event for local Black KC
Playwrights". We bring you the concept of turning a normal stage
reading into a “jam session” with audience involvement. We’ll cast
it and have one table read. Then the following week we’ll open
the doors for audience members and others and have a very
interactive reading on the stage. The audience members will be
able to ask questions between scenes, give feedback in real-time
on the play, ask to hear a certain part again, etc. Also, the cast will
be up on their feet and able to move around the stage with script
in hand. A real jam session vibe! We’ll also assign a director each
time to moderate the talkback and give actors line notes or
instruction on playing with delivery or movement. The purpose
behind it all is to allow a playwright to get immediate feedback on
a play they just wrote and understand how an audience may
react.
Join us at Just Off Broadway! Space is limited and Masks and
Social Distancing are required.
This event will be held every 3
rd
Tuesday of the month and FREE
to attend (of course, you can always donate if you want).
Barbecue
February 10th - 19th, 2022
The O’Mallery’s have gathered in their local park to share some barbecue
and straight talk with their sister Barbara, whose spiral of drugs and
recklessness has forced her siblings to stage an open-air intervention. But
the event becomes raucous and unpredictable as familial stereotypes
collide with hard realities, and racial politics slam up against the stories
we tell—and maybe even believe—about who we were and who we've
become.
