Great Things To Know About The Theatre in the Park!
Each summer we present Broadway musicals, concerts, and a variety of special events.
Our outdoor amphitheatre is located on 10 beautiful acres in Shawnee Mission Park at 7710 Renner Road. Located just north of I-435 Highway and 87th Street, our facility is easily accessible from anywhere in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
An incredible weekend of auditions is held each spring and the casts for our shows are selected from these performers. Auditions for The Theatre in the Park are open to the public (ages 7 and up) and frequently draw more than 600 aspiring actors from throughout the community.
Our box office opens at 6:30 p.m., gates open at 7:00 p.m. and the shows begin at 8:30 p.m. Admission is only $6 for adults, $4 for youth ages 4-10, and children 3 and under are free. With blankets, lawn chairs and picnic baskets, theatre fans come early to enjoy the park setting before the show begins. Each show opens on a Friday night and runs Friday through Sunday the first week, and Thursday through Sunday the following week(s). Typically, each performance lasts about 2 hours.
The Theatre in the Park is handicapped accessible with reserved parking, ramps and wheelchair seating areas. Sign language interpretation is provided at select performances (contact the Theatre office for a schedule of interpreted shows).
The Theatre in the Park is supported by the generosity of many area corporations and foundations that believe in our program. These vital sponsors help finance our program with funds, materials, and/or service contributions. Less than 20% of our operating budget is from tax support.
Another great source of pride for The Theatre in the Park is our FRIENDS program. During the season individuals, families, and businesses provided their financial and volunteer support. FRIENDS members also assisted with auditions, fundraising, and many other volunteer activities.
The Theatre in the Park enjoys the vitality of its many volunteers. All of the performers and orchestra members generously donate their time. Volunteers also help with auditions and clean-up projects at the Theatre facility.
A wide variety of employment opportunities are available at The Theatre in the Park. Creative talents are used for set design, sound, lighting, costumes and props. Each summer dozens of area teens enjoy their first job working in our box office, food services or on the parking staff.
The Theatre in the Park facility is available for rental for special events, corporate gatherings, public attractions, concerts, and/or fundraising events.
