Broke-ology

Thu, Mar 11, 2010
Time: To be announced
Copaken Stage

Written by Nathan Louis Jackson

Directed by Kyle Hatley

Contains adult themes.

In this emotionally powerful and charming new work, Kansas City, KS playwright Nathan Jackson — trained at Juilliard but true to his Kansas City roots — has turned to his hometown as the setting for this absorbing family drama. Meet the King family, an African-American family living in a lower middle class neighborhood in KCK. The Kings are used to being broke, but when their father is diagnosed with a serious illness, sons Ennis and Malcolm must clearly decide where their loyalties lie. Malcolm is the first in his family to attend college, a testament to his mother, who died when the boys were young but not before passing on her ambitions for them to have a better life. Ennis, who stayed behind, has become a scholar of “broke-ology,” the study of surviving while being broke. Now, with his father sick and his brother urging him to stay, Malcolm struggles to decide whether it is best to stay or go. This powerful new play by a brilliant young writer brings new perspectives on the struggles of the next generation in our city.

“…thematically rich, structurally deft, and emotionally complex.” — The Boston Globe

In this World Premiere from talented up-and-coming playwright Lia Romeo, Karen looks like a teenager but is actually a brilliant, albeit dateless, 38-year-old philosophy professor. Her wacky sister, Joanna, concocts an ill-advised plan to find Karen's "perfect" match while navigating her own tenuous relationship. This bizarrely comic and twisted love story, hot from our In-Progress New Play Reading Series last season, reinforces the notion that there is indeed someone for everyone.

Bus Stop

Fri, Mar 12, 2010
Time: To be announced
Spencer Theatre

Written by William Inge

Directed by Steve Cosson

Contains adult themes.

The greatest playwright to come out of Kansas and undoubtedly one of the most important American writers of the 20th century, William Inge was known for his realistic, funny and moving works revolving around the cities of the Central Plains. Bus Stop, one of his greatest comedies, tells the story of the night a March blizzard traps eight strangers in a small cafe 30 miles west of Kansas City. A bus driver falls for the bus stop proprietress, a young local girl becomes fascinated by a professor running away from his failed life back east, and a chorus girl tries to escape a reckless cowboy determined to marry her. As the evening wears on, lives are changed, love is lost and found, and strangers find ways to keep each other warm on the coldest Kansas night.

Steven Jarvi, Bruno Walter associate conductor chair

Celtic superstar Natalie MacMaster continues to stun crowds around the globe with her feverish fiddling and mesmerizing step dancing, with a talent that remains both raw and wondrously refined. She first picked up the fiddle at age nine and hasn’t looked back! While acclaimed for taking Celtic music to new heights, each album she releases displays a creativity and range that constantly expands the boundaries of the genre. Her performances resound with what the Los Angeles Times describes as “irresistible, keening passion.” Along with the Kansas City Symphony, MacMaster will showcase her unique, driving rhythms and soaring tonalities that have made her an international sensation.

Artemis String Quartet

Fri, Mar 12, 2010
08:00 PM
Folly Theater

Among the very good quartets playing internationally, the “Artemis ensemble is the best.” The reason: “Ranging from Beethoven to Ligeti, their performances overflow with fullness of sound, delineated structure and unparalleled drama” (national German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). The Artemis Quartet garners equally high praise wherever they go. With their ability to tell a compelling narrative with musical gestures that are natural and unforced, this Berlin-based quartet will play late Beethoven’s Opus 127, as well as the fiery Opus 59, No. 3 “Razumovsky” quartet.

As a pianist and composer, Keith Kirchoff works towards enhancing the status of classical music in American culture by educating audiences before and during performances, lecturing internationally, and stressing the importance of modern music to keep classical music alive and current. His programs focus on unusual and neglected works and his repertoire ranges from the 18th to the 21st centuries.

Although only 28 years old, Kirchoff has already premiered over 100 new works and commissioned over a dozen. As a strong supporter of modern music, he has worked closely with many prominent composers including Christian Wolff, Frederic Rzewski, and Louie Andriessen. He has studied, performed, and lectured on the complete piano works of Robert Muczynski, given recital series focusing on the works of John Cage, toured internationally with the works of Frederic Rzewski, and this upcoming season will be touring with a program of self-commissioned works for piano and electronics. The co-founder of the new music ensemble "Agenda," has also appeared with the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble and the Callithumpian Consort, Boston’s premier modern music ensemble. With the latter, he has recorded John Luther Adams's For Lou Harrison on New World Records, and will appear on two other upcoming releases by Mode Records with music by Earle Browne and Christian Wolff.

Dramatic leading baritone Richard Paul Fink, a regular at major opera houses worldwide – including the Metropolitan Opera, Opera National de Paris and the Sidney Opera – will perform the role of Rigoletto. In 2007 the Calgary Herald hailed, “Fink showed the full heft of a classic Verdi baritone… Dramatically he was completely convincing.”

Raqsi Awards and Belly Dance Competition Event

Sun, Mar 28, 2010
03:00 PM
Cafe Cedar Restaurant & Bar

The goal of this event is to present to the public a dance form that originated in the Orient, but has since taken root in the Americas. Based in Middle Eastern folkloric and gypsy dance forms, what we commonly call "Belly Dance" has evolved into a unique American dance form, with many styles and variations.

Part of the popularity of "Belly Dance" in the Americas is not only due to its folkloric legacy (including men and women), but also to its resurrection of the eternal "feminine". This dance form allows women to explore their feminine identity within a creative art form.

The event is hosted by a newly formed association of local dancers, the Kansas City Belly Dance Coalition. The Coalition attempts to create "neutral ground" for dancers to participate in forums to discuss issues relevant to dance, and the recognition of "Belly Dance" as a legitimate dance form.

Attendees to the event will see professional dancers perform and speak, as well as witness various dance competitions. Attendees will be able to catch up on Belly Dance news locally, including various dance-related events coming up in the next year in the regional area. A Bazaar will offer Belly Dance costumes, accessories, jewelry, drums, and crafts for sale.

A variety of dance styles will be presented, including Cabaret, Folkloric, Tribal, Tribal Fusion, Gypsy, Urban Gypsy, Tribal Modern, Cane, Candelabra, Wings, Veil, Drum work, and various other ethnic dance groups. This will be a cultural, educational, and entertaining event.

An Explosive New Musical Written by Matt Sax & Eric Rosen

A Co-production with Center Theatre Group

Contains strong language & adult themes.

Matt Sax and Eric Rosen, creators of the phenomenal Clay, join forces once again to tell an explosive new story of struggle and redemption. Set in the not-too-distant future, Venice is the tale of two brothers who must lead a city out of a terrorist war. Though both are haunted by the memory of their mother, a leader of Venice whose call for peace was silenced in a massive attack on the city, one brother chooses to follow in his mother’s footsteps and the other sets out to see his brother’s plans undone. An operatic story of war, love, treachery and the quest for peace, Venice boasts a powerful and highly original score of hip-hop, R & B, art song and opera that will make your heart pound. A cooperative effort with Los Angeles’ Center Theatre Group, which originally commissioned Venice, this world premiere will rock Kansas City before heading west to its L.A. premiere.

MAHLER Symphony No. 4

Three beautiful and evocative masterworks fill this concert. Mahler never wrote more lyrical and wonderfully nostalgic music than in the Symphony No. 4, which ends with the simple song of a child dreaming of life in heaven. Ravel paid homage to his great French predecessor François Couperin with an exquisite imagining of the Baroque era in his scintillating orchestral suite. Samuel Barber, using a memoir of James Agee, recreates a bygone era of warm summer nights and the slow, languid pace of a time when “the stars are wide and alive.”

STOMP at the Midland at AMC

On sale Friday, December 18 at 10:00am.

STOMP, the international sensation, is making its triumphant return to Kansas City. The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, with some sections of the show now updated and restructured and the addition of two new full-scale routines, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans.

STOMP, an overwhelming success marked by rave reviews, numerous awards and sell-out engagements, is the winner of an Olivier Award for Best Choreography (London's Tony Award), a New YorkObie Award, a Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatre Experience, and a Special Citation from Best Plays. The young performers "make a rhythm out of anything we can get our hands on that makes a sound," says co-creator/director Luke Cresswell. Stiff-bristle brooms become a sweeping orchestra; Zippo lighters flip open and closed to create a fiery fugue; wooden poles thump and clack in a rhythmic explosion. STOMP uses everything but conventional percussion instruments - trashcans, tea chests, plastic bags, plungers, boots, and hubcaps - to fill the stage with compelling and infectious rhythms.
