This Kansas City theater company is creating space for 'the next generation of LGBTQ playwrights'...

Whim Productions, an LGBTQ+ theater company with a performance space on Prospect Avenue, exclusively presents works from queer playwrights with narratives that center around the queer experience.
Kansas City’s theater scene should be a safe and comfortable space, said Kevin King, detailing his effort to specifically provide a place where queer voices can not only feel heard, but celebrated.

“Since 2019, we’ve been basically gay all the time,” said King, producing artistic director at Whim Productions, an LGBTQ+ theater company with a performance space on Prospect Avenue.

Whim’s script for its productions includes exclusively presenting works from queer playwrights with narratives that center around the queer experience.

“A big part of what we are focused on is how we can make theater better for all the people that are involved,” said King, who noted Whim Productions’ artistic committee helps determine programming and ensures that the plays chosen align with its mission.
