Presented by The White Theatre at The White Theatre Leawood, KS
2025-2026 Theatre Series Co-produced with KC Melting Pot Theatre Set in the East Village of New York City, "Rent" is about falling in love, finding your voice, and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, "Rent" has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages. Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's "Rent" follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical. Book, Music, and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson Director: Zane Champie Music Director: Barbara Jurgensmeier

Ranky Tanky (a Gullah phrase for “get funky”) are five lifelong friends from Charleston, South Carolina, who have established themselves as passionate global ambassadors for their local culture and community. Through their performance, they are helping to faithfully preserve the traditions originated by African Americans in the coastal South during slavery kept alive through the present day. Ranky Tanky have achieved many firsts for South Carolina’s West African-rooted Gullah community since their formation, earning yet another milestone at the 2019 Grammy Awards by taking home the Best Regional Roots Album prize for their sophomore release, “Good Time.” The album, which also hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Chart, combines songs carried down through generations in the Sea Islands of the Southeastern United States with the band’s own original compositions in the Gullah tradition. In Ranky Tanky's hands, this style of music has been described as "soulful honey to the ears" (NPR). The band has been featured on NPR's “Fresh Air,” “The Today Show,” “PBS Newshour,” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s” “#playathome.” Ranky Tanky was honored to be featured artists in President Biden’s inauguration event, “We The People.” They were the subjects of a 10-page profile in Oxford American’s “South Carolina Music” issue and were named 2020 Artist of The Year by the Charleston City Paper.

As Argentina's most popular dance, and world-renowned for its seductive powers, this mesmerizing show combines the sensuous side of tango with the rawness and quick-fire precision of this dance. The show takes this passionate dancing language to the limit, creating a unique and exhilarating performance. This outstanding theatrical experience is entirely inspired by the great work of Astor Piazzolla, a prominent Argentinean contemporary music figure. His music, a masterful blend of urban music and cutting-edge composing technics, sought a provocative renewal of style through a transmutation of sonority as well as rhythm, which resulted in worldwide recognition of unique and remarkable sounds and sensations. Starting in the 1960s, Piazzolla’s figure became the core of avant-garde thought, whose three-decade leading transformation took the “New Tango” to the most prestigious stages in the world. This worldwide renowned composer transformed the tango landscape in the 1960s and 70s by introducing the world to his Nuevo Tango.

Take an intergalactic musical journey with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops! Watching all nine episodes of Star Wars would take more than 20 hours, but you can relive the entire saga in just two hours, as a live narrator and America’s Orchestra bring this epic story and iconic music to life. This interstellar concert experience will awaken the Force within you and transport you to a galaxy far, far away! In 2025, the Boston Pops will enter its 140th season of entertaining audiences in Boston and beyond. Boston Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart will mark his 30th year at the helm of the orchestra. It all began in 1885, thanks to the vision of Civil War veteran Henry Lee Higginson. Four years earlier, in 1881, he founded the Boston Symphony Orchestra, calling its establishment “the dream of my life.” From the start, he intended to present, in the warmer months, concerts of light classics and the popular music of the day. From a practical perspective, Higginson realized that these “lighter” performances would provide year-round employment for his musicians. The “Promenade Concerts,” as they were originally called, were soon informally known as “Popular Concerts,” which eventually became shortened to “Pops,” the name officially adopted in 1900. The following year the orchestra performed for the first time at its new home, Symphony Hall. Not only is this performance space acoustically outstanding, it was also designed, at Higginson’s insistence, so that the rows of seats for Boston Symphony concerts could be replaced by tables…
