SUMMARY:Everyday Democracy: Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness in Johnson County
DESCRIPTION:Democracy isn’t only written in founding documents or decided at the ballot box — it’s lived every day.

This new exhibition explores how everyday experiences of Johnson Countians have shaped the meaning of Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness — and asks what role each of us will play in democracy’s future.

SUMMARY:Wicked at Kansas City Music Hall
DESCRIPTION:So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. WICKED\, the Broadway sensation\, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives\, there is another young woman\, born with emerald-green skin—smart\, fiery\, misunderstood\, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular\, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good\,” and the other one “wicked.” From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment\, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. “If every musical had the brains\, heart and courage of WICKED\, Broadway really would be a magical place” (Time Magazine).
