Many of our group leaders estimate the number of tickets needed and continue to adjust their reservation until six weeks before their performance. Adjustments may be made subject to availability without penalty or fee. A deposit of $5 per ticket (never to exceed $200) guarantees your group the number of tickets requested on the night of your performance. This deposit will be deducted from your final amount due.

*  Reception Space:  Many groups choose to enhance their theater experience by planning a reception.  Groups of 50 or more may use a lobby space at the Unicorn  at no charge.  Smaller groups can reserve a space for a nominal fee.

     *  Student Rate:  Student groups can attend regular performances, based on availability, at a discounted       price of $10 per person.

Frequently-Asked Questions by Groups 

Q:  Do groups receive a discount? 

A:  Groups of 10 or more people receive up to a 20% discount off the regular single ticket prices on most Unicorn Theatre productions.

Q:  Do you require a deposit?          

A: Yes, a $5 per ticket deposit (never to exceed $200) is required at the time the contract is signed. The deposit guarantees the number of tickets your group requests on your performance date.

You may reduce the number of seats in your contract (no fewer that 10) prior to your final payment date without penalty or fee. You may increase the number of seats any time, subject to availability.

Q:  When can we order?

A:  Anytime!  Simply call us for the information and we’ll be happy to help.  But remember – because our intimate theater seats just 150, the earlier you order, the better assurance you’ll have for the performance you want. 

Q:  Can we all sit in the same section of the theater? 

A:  We will try our best to accommodate your seating requests, but sometimes it is difficult to seat everyone together, especially for larger groups.  

Q:  Where can our group go to eat before or after the play?

A:  The Unicorn Theatre is located near restaurants in every price range located within an easy walk or drive of the theater on 39^th Street, in Westport, and on the Country Club Plaza. 

Q:  I have other questions.  Where can I go for answers? 

A:  Please call our Group Sales Team at 816-531-7529 x 21 or e-mail us at groupsales@unicorntheatre.org.  A member of our Group Sales staff can help you choose the play that best suits your group’s theater tastes and schedule.

2010-2011 Season of BOLDNEWPLAYS

Click here for press about the new season

[Title of show]

Music and Lyrics by Jeff Bowen

Book by Hunter Bell

Directed by Missy Koonce
Musical Direction by Anthony T. Edwards

 

September 18-October 10, 2010

Previews September 15, 16 & 17

 

[INSERT MUSIC HERE]
Imagine two hyper-talented young songwriters in New York trying to write a new musical about two
hyper-talented young songwriters in New York trying to write a new musical. That’s [title of show],
the deliciously smart, tongue-in-cheek musical that wowed Broadway audiences and critics last
fall. Share its dizzy, unpredictable and uproarious journey from unemployment to the Great White Way.

 

 

Conor McPherson’s
the seafarer

Co-Produced BY Unicorn Theatre and Kansas City Actors Theatre

Directed by Mark Robbins

 

October 23-November 7, 2010

Previews October 20, 21 & 22

 

 Calling devil’s bluff

It’s Christmas Eve, and Sharky has returned to Dublin to look after his quick-tempered, aging and recently
blind brother. Old drinking buddies Ian and Nicky are holed up at the house too, hoping to play cards, when a mysterious, charming stranger raises the stakes even higher. Sharky may be playing for his very soul in this darkly funny and chilling new play about Ireland, the sea and the power of myth.

 

 

 

distracted

By Lisa Loomer

Co-Produced with UMKC Theatre

Directed by Cynthia Levin

 

November 27-December 12, 2010

Previews November 23, 24 & 26

 

Ritalin for breakfast
Are we so tuned in to our info-rich world that we’ve tuned out the things that really matter? Jesse is eight and easily distracted, but so are his parents, neighbors—even the doctors. Is Jesse’s Attention Deficit Disorder caused by over-stimulation, bad parenting, chemicals in food, or is he just a kid in an ADD world? It’s a fast-paced, comic look at parenting in the Internet Age.

 

 

 

 

A SEASON EXTRA:

A Very Joan CRAWFORD CHRISTMAS

Created by Jeff Church and Ron Megee especially for Unicorn Theatre

Directed by Jeff Church

FEATURING Ron Megee as the incandescent Joan Crawford

 

December 11-26, 2010

Previews December 8, 9 & 10

 

Bite me, Bette.

Kansas City’s own Joan Crawford returns for a holiday visit along with her loyal housekeeper, Mamacita. Settle in, listen up and learn: How to keep the sensitive male ego happy (“avoid moisturizer, it just smears all over your husband’s pajamas”). Host a dinner party with taste and texture (“put a hairdresser next to a professor of physics”). How to drink Pepsi with Vodka (“you’ll learn to love it, dammit”). And be sure to visit the craft room to decorate a wire hanger for the tree, but clean up that mess! Give Joan the respect she’s entitled to!

 

 

 

 

IN the next room

or the vibrator play

By Sarah Ruhl

Directed by Sidonie Garrett

 

January 29-February 13, 2011

Previews January 26, 27 & 28

 

Ecstatic about electricity

Set at the dawn of the age of electricity in a well-to-do 1880s Victorian home, proper gentleman and scientist Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary device for treating “hysteria” in women (and, occasionally, men): the vibrator. His young wife tends to their newborn daughter and wonders exactly what is going on in the next room. This 2010 Tony Nominee for Best Play is based on actual bizarre history.

 

 

 

two Jews

walk into a War...

BY Seth Rozin

DIRECTED BY Cynthia Levin

 

March 5-20, 2011

Previews March 2, 3 & 4

 

Kibitzing in Kabul
Funny, poignant and first introduced in our In-Progress New Play Readings, Ishaq and Zeblyan
are the last two surviving Jews in a dilapidated old synagogue in Kabul during the Taliban regime’s final days. The only thing that binds them together is that they hate each other’s guts. Could the
salvation of Afghanistan’s Jewish community actually be left in the hands of these two meshuganas?

 

 

 

ruined

By Lynn Nottage

Co-Produced with UMKC Theatre

Directed by Ricardo Khan

 

April 16-May 1, 2011

Previews April 13, 14 & 15

 

RAIN FOREST REFUGE

Entertainment and escape await at Mama Nadi’s bar and brothel in civil-war-torn Congo. But is she
protecting or profiting from the women she shelters? Inspired by her interviews with Congo refugees,
Nottage has crafted an uncommonly human story with humor and song served alongside postcolonial
and feminist politics. Ruined was awarded the 2009 Pulitzer Prize in Drama.
