Waiting for You on the Corner of (13th and Walnut)

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 13th 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 13th 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.
