KANSAS CITY, Mo. â In the latest stimulus package there is a $15 billion allotment for live entertainment venues. They re called Save our Stages funds. This will keep us alive. We ve been very instrumental, like most of the small independent venues, in preserving the neighborhood, said Larry Sells, owner of the Uptown Theater.
There won t be a New Year s Eve bash and the stage remains empty due to the pandemic. You can t keep a society closed down forever and expect people to survive, Sells said.
