WELCOME TO OUR THEATRE
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.

I was blown away by the acting in Sunset
Baby last night! Really powerful!
Diane Capps (patron)
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.

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

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 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!
