KCRep for All brings the magic of live theatre to you! Presenting free world-class theatre throughout Kansas City, KCRep for All is our community tour. You’ll see the same stories from our stages come to life in community centers, public libraries, and senior centers throughout our region. Performing the same script as seen on our mainstages, the show is re-staged and re-imagined to be performed for you in your neighborhood.
KCRep for All breaks down economic and geographic barriers and makes our theatre walls more permeable as we travel across Kansas City to meet people where they are. This program is inspired by The Old Globe’s Globe for All program in San Diego.
2024-25: Broke-ology
Directed by Francois Battiste
Celebrating the legacy of Nathan Louis Jackson, we revisit this smart, enduring, and quietly powerful play fifteen years after it first moved audiences on our stage.
Dive into the heartwarming and thought-provoking world of Broke-ology by Nathan Louis Jackson, a poignant play that explores the complexities of family, sacrifice, and resilience. Set against the backdrop of a working-class neighborhood in Kansas City, Kansas, the King family navigates the challenges of love and duty as they confront the realities of limited resources and unbreakable bonds. With a perfect blend of humor and pathos, Broke-ology invites audiences to witness the strength of familial ties and the enduring power of hope in a touching and beautifully crafted exploration of the human spirit that will resonate long after the final curtain falls.
