A Year In The Arts In KC

By Steve Kraske
Published December 23, 2015 at 1:35 PM CST

This was the year the Kansas City Ballet re-imagined “The Nutcracker.” Henry David Thoreau and Barbra Streisand got theatrical treatments, and the Kansas City Symphony had a variety of soloists. On this edition of Up to Date, we turn a critical eye to the arts in the Kansas City area this year.

Guests:

  • Robert Trussell, theater critic and arts reporter at The Kansas City Star
  • Libby Hanssen, classical music and theater writer for The Kansas City Star
  • Alice Thorson, editor of KC Studio

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
