Theatre for Young America
Welcome to Theatre for Young America (TYA)!! FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY OF HUMANS!
A young person's experience of live theater and drama education at Theatre for Young America promotes literacy, stimulates interest in diverse topics, introduces unfamiliar cultures and characters, and encourages compassion and tolerance. When young people attend a performance at Theatre for Young America they not only see live professional theater of the highest quality, they also get a chance to meet the professional actors and ask questions about the play, topics in the play, and about the art of theater. TYA has offered professional productions for students since 1974 and has offered arts education programs since 1976
"Beloved" journeys us to individuals whose lives have been overtaken by their need to feel important, beautiful, or wanted by someone. Like many of us, these characters go to great lengths to feel fulfilled, still sometimes fall ing short. The second half of the show is based on a lifetime of two people's relationship. All the way from meeting to death do us part. It will be an evening not soon forgotten so join us to celebrate art, dance, music, and most importantly....the Beloved.
Combining interactive astronomy education with spectacular public shows and night sky viewing opportunities, the Arvin Gottlieb Planetarium continues to be one of Kansas City's greatest connections to the night sky.
Built as part of Union Station's renovations in the late 1990s, the Arvin Gottlieb Planetarium's 60-foot dome makes it one of the largest planetariums in the midwest. Union Station offers a number of opportunities in the planetarium for groups to take advantage of including field trips, Girl and Boy Scout badge workshops, summer camps, and other educational oportunites, as well as business meetings or general facility rental options.
An all-new Planetarium Show! Black Holes takes you on a journey through one of the most mystifying, awe-inspiring phenomena in the universe: a black hole. Where do they come from? Where do they go?
Witness the first show produced entirely in-house for our new digital projection system. This immersive 40-minute space flight is appropriate for all ages. We begin at the sun and travel almost 5 billion miles out to the Kuiper Belt visiting planets and moons along the way.
Be immersed and overwhelmed with this most accurate historic reconstruction of Man’s first steps into space.
Witness their drive, their passion, and their perseverance to explore, in Dawn of the Space Age!
A brilliant spectacle of light and color as Elmo, Big Bird and their newest friend - Hu Hu Zhu - watch the stars twinkle over Seasame Street. Now at the Gottlieb Planetarium!
