The Rep partners with two award‐winning theatre companies to premiere an original play about six
people who live in Kansas City, doing their best to talk, to listen and to survive in a country where the
distance between two people is less than a shout but more than a handshake. Based on interviews with
Kansas City residents, and rooted in the ideas, thoughts, and observations of our local communities, the
fictional narrative of Waiting for You on the Corner of 13 th and Walnut examines how we listen to one
another, finds the shared values of our unique communities, and asks if consensus can be found in the
midst of polarizing politics. Waiting for You on the Corner of 13 th and Walnut is a one‐of‐a‐kind
theatrical event commissioned by Kansas City Repertory Theatre, continuing our commitment to
excellent new theatre and investment in the stories of our community.

This is the musical theatre event that last year sparked delight in hearts of audience members and critics
alike. And now, the Rep’s Associate Artistic Director Kyle Hatley and The Living Room, one of Kansas
City’s most imaginative small theater companies, are bringing their beautiful production of Carousel to
Spencer Theatre, complete with “in‐the round” seating. Carousel tells a universal story of love, longing,
and doing our utmost for the people we care about, even if it leads to difficult choices with tragic
outcomes. Join us to experience this touching and inspiring musical theatre classic in a new and deeply
moving way. You won’t want to miss it this second time around.
