Both United We Play and The Story of US: America at 250 (opening April 20) are included with admission. \nJoin us as Kansas City–and the world–play united.

SUMMARY:Seussical presented by First Act Theatre Arts
DESCRIPTION:See all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters come to life in this fantastical\, magical\, musical extravaganza! From Whoville to the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus\, it’s sure to be a wild adventure. \nNow one of the most performed shows in America\, Seussical is a fantastical\, magical\, musical extravaganza! Tony winners\, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Lucky Stiff\, My Favorite Year\, Once on This Island\, Ragtime)\, have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters\, including Horton the Elephant\, The Cat in the Hat\, Gertrude McFuzz\, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos. \nThe Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton\, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos\, including Jojo\, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers\, but he must guard an abandoned egg\, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule\, danger\, kidnapping and a trial\, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately\, the powers of friendship\, loyalty\, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant. \nRun time of Seussical the Musical is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes with one 15 minute intermission.

SUMMARY:Kitten Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:Healing Purrs is a playful yet deeply soothing sound bath experience where the gentle resonance of sound healing meets the natural healing frequencies of kittens. Blending calming tones with the soft presence and rhythmic purring of these small companions\, this experience invites both your nervous system and your heart to soften\, settle\, and restore. It’s a space where sound becomes medicine—not just for you\, but for them too—creating a shared field of comfort\, connection\, and quiet healing. Where every vibration helps a heart (and a paw) heal.
