This holiday season, KCRep is proud to support Children’s Mercy Kansas City during our run of A Christmas Carol. Join us in the spirit of giving by donating to help children and families across our community. Your generosity will provide play experiences and celebration items to patients throughout the year. Together, we can turn compassion into action—because giving is the true heart of the season. Just bring your donation with you when you come to the show and we will collect them in the lobby.
