Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Director's Letter

In 2002, CYT KC was only 2 years old. The first Artistic Director, Justin Parks, needed to move to Chicago, and God led Gina Milbourn to take Justin’s place. In the fall of 2002, CYT KC chose to produce Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, much to the scrutiny of some.

Joseph Artistic Team

It’s such a big show! Do we have enough students to pull it off? Who will choreograph and music direct? Will we have a live band? Well, we learned to never doubt God, and it was a fantastic production, thanks to many gifted musicians and artists and amazing parents. In fact, many of the costumes, props and sets that you see in this production were created by those parent committees in 2002!

Since then, CYT KC/First Act KC has produced Joseph 7 times! God has continued to show His faithfulness through the 25 years of this organization. We hope that you enjoy this production as you remember God’s provision and providence.

Praying with Hope for the Future

At First Act Theatre Arts, we are excited and prayerfully looking forward, with abundant hope, that our next home is becoming a reality. Throughout the next year of our Capital Campaign, it is imperative that we make this journey rooted in Christ and the purposes created for us.

High School Musical Jr. Director’s Letter

First Act’s Middle School Overnight Camp is always my favorite week of the summer. When I heard that High School Musical Jr. was our show this year, somehow my excitement for this week grew exponentially. My first camp experience with First Act was a High School Musical summer camp when I was five years old, and I cannot comprehend that I am now directing the musical with the same organization!

Nine to Five Director’s Letter

Before the 9 to 5 movie and musical we know and love, there was a movement that inspired both. 9to5 is an organization created in 1973 by clerical workers to respond to the inequities, unfairness, and outright harassment and discrimination they were experiencing in the workplace. These courageous, tenacious, and fierce women organized and banded together to advocate for themselves and for a better future for working women. 9to5 still exists today, fighting every day for equal wages, paid family leave, and a harassment-free workplace. Their work continues to advance racial and gender justice through community-led advocacy as they seek widespread, long-lasting change.
