The Performance Project at University Settlement is proud to announce Brought Up, the latest play of one of its 2023/24 Artists-in-Residence, Kenneth Keng (kennethkeng.com). This sci-fi theater spectacle imagines a far future Philippines where the soldiers aboard Nueva Manila's last warship grapple with whether to execute the indiscriminately destructive orders of their autocratic government.

I recently had another person in the news busisness, so to speak, ask me if it’s true that residents of Fusion Studios, where I live, rent out their rooms for cash. I asked around the building about this, giving informants the safety of confidentiality. Only one said they had heard of someone renting out their room for the night, but several people said rooms get rented out by the hour for sex work.

I’ve noticed that we don’t laugh out loud today nearly as often as I remember. For those of you who feel the need for a light, fun evening of laugh out loud comedy and a delightful meal, let me recommend “SQUABBLES” a live comedy play that has just opened at New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park. “SQUABBLES” is a light comedy with an unusually tight and experienced cast featuring Donny Most (from the old “Happy Days” sitcom) and an excellent group of mostly local actors. The locals are well enough known to the audience that many of them rate individual rounds of applause upon first appearance.

But when Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina's reign, she learns the hard way that you can't cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
