by Alan Portner - Jul 18, 2023


Shawnee Mission Park’s “Theatre in the Park,” marks the season with an oddly appropriate July production of “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas.” The item up for view and review is a very nice production of Irving Berlin classic songs and the familiar tale based on a 1954 movie of the same name.  There is significantly more Irving Berlin music in the staged musical than in the 1954 film.

BWW Review: A Classic, Timeless Tale Still Proves as Relevant as Ever with THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
by Drew Eberhard - Feb 12, 2022

The time was 1942-1944 prior to the liberation of the Jews in Holland.
