STUDENT MATINEE INFORMATION
TIPS FOR YOUR VISIT | COPAKEN STAGE
We want you to enjoy your time at the theatre, so here are some
tips to make your experience at the Rep successful. Please take a
moment to review these pages prior to attending the performance.
Kansas City Repertory Theatre’s Copaken Stage is located at 13 th and Walnut, inside the
H&R Block Building, downtown. (The exact address is: One H&R Block Way, Kansas City,
MO 64105.) It is best if your bus approaches the H&R Block Building heading west on
13 th Street, which is a one way street. We will have police and Kansas City Repertory
Theatre staff members at this entrance to help make the loading and unloading of buses go as smoothly as possible.
Please arrive at the theatre between 9:30-9:45am. Performances begin promptly at 10:00am. We don’t want you to miss
anything!
When you arrive at the theatre, please stay on your buses! A staff member will greet your bus and let you know how to
proceed.
There is no bus parking at the H&R Block Building. We are aware of the following bus parking options:
Buses may be able to find street parking around Barney Allis Plaza—No charge.
Kemper Arena Lot B—No charge.
14th & Wyandotte—Approximately $20 per bus, cash only.
If you have an emergency after 9:00am on the day you are scheduled for performance, please call Amy Tonyes, Education
Associate, on her personal cell phone at 816-204-1807. This is the best way to reach a staff person on performance days.
Please also ensure that Amy has your cell phone number prior to your visit in case of emergency! Latecomers will be
seated at the discretion of House Management staff.
The performance will last approximately two hours, including intermission.
The use of cameras and other recording devices is a violation of the actors’ contracts. We ask that you refrain from taking
photos or videos during the production. However, you are welcome to take photos of students in the lobby or in the
theatre before the performance begins. It is also important to remember that electronic and recording devices should not
be brought inside the theatre. This includes pen lights, hand-held games, virtual pets, cell phones, mp3 players, pagers,
ipods and bright or noisy jewelry.
The use of cell phones (including text messaging), cameras or any other recording device is not allowed in the theater at
any time! All cell phones should be completely turned off and put away during the performance. Cell phones left on
“vibrate” give off a glow that can distract actors and audience members.
