Kansas City Ballet
Three works open the Kansas City Ballet s season at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in October, including Celts. Dancers Taryn Mejia and Cameron Thomas are pictured here.
The Kansas City Ballet on Friday announced the company’s 2021-2022 season – including a return this fall to the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
The Kansas City Ballet is planning to emerge from the pandemic with a line-up of popular performances selected partly out of gratitude.
Artistic director Devon Carney said the Kansas City community provided a lifeline to the company after COVID-19 restrictions forced it to cancel performances at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in 2020 and again this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

1. for those of us who simply had no truck with Trump, we are about to be deprived of an enemy – he’s not really going anywhere, but seeing as how he was the monster in our thoughts for so long, I think we are going to miss the dread and horror of his daily tantrums … imagine a world where eventually we watch an entire half-hour of the evening news, and nowhere in it do we hear his name – that day is coming. He will drift off into the slipstream of Newsmax, the new replacement for Fox news folks, who have their own problem: do they try to abandon any pretense at credibility to cater to Trump’s base, or do they actually try and compete head-to-head with the other major networks as reliable journalists? Or will there be an attempt to report right-of-center news to whoever abandons Trump to take up the clarion call of the New Republican party?
