performARTS: Jeff Church & The Coterie Theatre

Randy Mason goes behind the scenes at the Coterie Theatre to explore the upcoming programs and performances of this groundbreaking theater.

Named by Time Magazine as “One of the five best theaters for young audiences in the U.S.,” the Coterie Theatre has been delighting audiences, young and old alike, for over 30 years.

This week, Randy Mason goes behind the curtain at the Theatre’s home on the first floor of Hallmark’s Crown Center shops to see how Producing Artistic Director Jeff Church and Company produce a variety of youth-oriented shows and community programming. From their current show Seussical and their New-York bound musical Lucky Duck to the Young Playwrights’ Festival and the free classroom-touring Dramatic Aids Education Project, the Coterie continues to provide important entertaining and educational theater to Kansas City audiences and beyond.
