Bridging Opportunities
Our Mission
Spinning Tree Theatre provides an opportunity for young artists – those with disabilities as well as those non-disabled – to collaborate with professional artists in rehearsing and performing plays and musicals. We believe that people of all abilities have a right to experience and participate in the arts, and that theatre offers uniquely positive avenues for building relationships, developing creativity and increasing confidence.
Our History
Before reimagining to a theatre project serving Kansas City youth of all abilities in 2020, Spinning Tree Theatre, founded in 2010, produced live, professional productions of plays and musicals. Kansas City premieres include "Violet," "Every Brilliant Thing," "Hello Again," "Casa Valentina," "Girlfriend" and "Caroline, or Change."
