STAGEORAMA! Kansas City is a boomtown when it comes to choices for theatergoers and actors
www.kansascity.com: "There’s more theater here than there used to be. There’s better theater than there used to be. And there are more places to perform theater than there used to be."

This is so strange.
I could see a lot of other Mid-size cities suddenly booming with theatrical activity; however I just never would have imagined Kansas City. With theatre costs as they are today and the price of simply renting a space in say chicago or new york, I can understand why theatre artists are bringing their game elsewhere. I just never imagined the audiences to follow.
Really? I guess if there is the money, performers don't really care that much as to where they are but still. I have a hard time imagining Kansas City as being an up and coming area for entertainment. I think the biggest issue in all of this is where does the audience come from? What could the draw be to this place? Its a bit....odd.
I also never would have thought of Kansas City has having a large theatre scene, but all the better. Maybe this trend of more theatre in mid-sized city's will be followed elsewhere.
