I wanted to express my support
for Nicole Hodges Persley's
appointment as Artistic Director
for KC Melting Pot Theatre.
Nicole's experience, vision and
commitment to the mission of
KCMPT in this capacity will help
expand the artistic direction and
platform for amazing works of

It (Radio Golf) was one of the best
productions I've seen from KCMPT.
You and your team really nailed it.
Congratulations

I love speaking and acting, but
never had the opportunity to
show my speaking ability until
I auditioned for a part in the
play Rachel at KCMPT. Thank
you Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Ms.
Nicole and KCMPT for believing
in me and my talents, and I
look forward to my next
performance!

There's this family atmosphere that
Harvey and Linda create, and you
know it's genuine.. along with the
respect that they give to the actors
and crew.. I literally have separation
issues for awhile after a KC Melting
Pot show that I'm in closes.

I was blown away by the acting in
Sunset Baby last night! Really
powerful!

What’s Up Next?
KCMPT Talk Back series - Our 2020 speakers for our “What’s
Goin’ On? Talk Back series were a hit.
Please visit our You Tube page to check out the past
episodes.
Stay tuned for more speakers in Spring 2021 featuring
Hollywood and Broadway producers, actors, writers and
tecnicians!
A Raisin in the Sun was absolutely
marvelous! The actors were
phenomenal! And the set was
amazing. I've enjoyed theater for
many years now and one thing that I
always pay close attention to are the
sets. I love sets...I love to go see how
the directors are going to 'set' the
stage. Well, in my opinion, this was
one of the best that I've seen in a
long time. Perfect for the time and
reminded me so much of the actual
movie. I loved, enjoyed, was thrilled
every minute. Congratulations on a
very successful production with
many more to follow.

KCMPT creates thought provoking, professional
productions that reveal the rich contributions that African
Americans have made to the theatrical tradition in the
United States.
As the premier African American theater company in
Kansas City, our primary goal is to explore theatrical
works, old and new, that feature complex stories of
African American life as a lens through which we realize
our shared humanity. We seek to build coalitions and
partnerships across the diversity spectrum that can create
bridges that facilitate opportunities to understand and
celebrate our similarities and our differences.
