OCTOBER 2022

From the Directors:

November 3-6

The Bell Cultural Events Center at MidAmerica Nazarene University

I am constantly in awe at the talent our students possess at First Act KC. This show is extremely challenging in many ways, and they are working SO hard to give it the nuance it requires. You will not want to miss this beautiful and painful story of love, redemption, and hope amidst suffering. I can tell you with certainty that you will laugh.. you will cry.. you will be transported into the life of another - and perhaps.. you will feel less alone. Perhaps.. you will leave with a little more hope. 


Jana Latchaw Milbourn

November 10-13

The Bell Cultural Events Center at MidAmerica Nazarene University

The A Team keeps humming along, and we have finished teaching Act One. The cast focuses and brings their A Game to every rehearsal. We are so proud of the dedication that everyone brings to the production!

Thanks to the tireless work of Pam Bray and Gina Milbourn, our brilliant Co-Costume Managers, the Costume Warehouse is looking better and more organized than ever. We need YOUR HELP to keep it this way! Pam and Gina have spent hours over the summer sorting through thousands of costume items and making sure everything has a label and a home. Please remember that no costume pieces should leave the Warehouse without Pam, Gina, or your show's Costume Committee Chair's prior approval. Additionally, all costume donations MUST go through Artistic Director Patrick Graham in order to make sure we can keep our costume inventory organized and under control. Finally, when returning costumes to First Act KC, remember that every costume has a home - if you don't know where something goes, please ask! Thank you for helping keep our Costume Warehouse organized for future generations of First Act KC families!

Calling all First Act KC students 12 years and older! Join the Crew for a Worship night, s'mores and a bonfire!


When: October 22nd, 6:30-9:30 PM
