Review: AMADEUS at ICT Rep At Oliver Place
by Paula Makar - Oct 17, 2025

WAmadeus is a very rich, poetic, highly philosophical play, with lots of music and moving parts. There’s a great deal emotional heavy lifting, so be ready to become immersed in (as well as inspired by) this intense world the cast and crew has created. It’s pretty epic, so don’t miss it, as it only runs one more weekend at ICT Rep!hat did our critic think of AMADEUS at ICT Rep At Oliver Place?

Previews: AMADEUS Is Coming to ICT REP
by Paula Makar - Sep 22, 2025

ICTRep (Wichita Repertory Theater) continues its 2025-26 season with AMADEUS, opening Friday, October 10 at 7:30 p.m. in Oliver Place at 2512 N. Oliver. Peter Shaffer’s 1979 masterpiece is a fictionalized story of the boy-genius Mozart and his musical contemporary, the Court Composer Antonio Salieri. Narrated by Salieri (the self-confessed Patron Saint of Mediocrities) whose life’s work is threatened by his jealousy of Mozart’s brilliance, this drama examines Salieri’s tortured, obsessive battle with the Creator, as the older composer rages against a God who has bestowed the greatest gifts to someone else.

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Kansas City Repertory Theatre
by Alan Portner - Nov 22, 2023

Last night, November 21, 2023, a Kansas City tradition, the 42rd annual (almost) Kansas City Repertory Theatre production of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” opened at the Spencer Theater on the UMKC campus for an extended run through Christmas Eve. Except for the Covid year when the live production was replaced by a video version, audiences have gathered for “A Christmas Carol” since 1980. The house lights dim and a cast of Victorian holiday carolers appear complete with an onstage costumed orchestra. Our Storyteller (Nedra Dixon) also dressed in stunning early Victorian garb, welcomes us. Ms. Dixon is elegant and charming in this her first stint as the Storyteller.
