The Local Show: July 26, 2012

This week, see how local sports architecture firm Populous is playing a major role in the London 2012 Olympic Games, watch excerpts from the upcoming immigration series “Homeland: Immigration in America”, and go behind the scenes of the Kansas City Actors Theatre.

This week, we find out about the “biggest” star in the 2012 Olympics…the stadium which was built by Populous, an sports architecture firm headquartered in Kansas City. Nick Haines sits down with the man who went from playing in stadiums to designing them…Scott Radecic, Senior Principal at Populous Sports Architecture and former NFL linebacker. We share a sneak peek at the new three-part PBS program Homeland: Immigration in America, a co-production between KCPT and Nine Network of Public Media in St. Louis, which focuses on issues surrounding immigration in the heartland. And we continue our performARTS series with a profile of the Kansas City Actors Theatre.
