from the beginning... all the fun!
 

For more than half a century, Theatre in the Park has been entertaining audiences, both young and old, and has introduced thousands of Kansas City residents to live theatre. In the pages below you will find lots of information about many of the artists and creative folks that have graced our stages with their extraordinary talents, and remembrances of milestones that have carried TIP into the history books. We are grateful that TIP has become a tradition, an institution in our community, and is so beloved... by so many. Each year hundreds of people continue to contribute both on our stage and off. Thank you, all. 

Let this archive stand as a tribute to any... and everyone... who has ever found a love for the TIP footlights... 

both onstage and off!
