Dear Friends, Families, and Guests,

For more than 70 years, Starlight has shared live arts experiences from its iconic stage that inspire a wide spectrum of feelings in response to new stories, music, ideas, and themes. Shows like Jagged Little Pill are bound to spark conversation – and that’s what live theatre is meant to do!

Jagged Little Pill is an achingly beautiful show based on Alanis Morissette’s revolutionary 1995 album of the same name. It is full of stories of love, heartache, wisdom, challenge, and more.

The show’s story follows a suburban mother and her two teenaged children as they navigate the impact and complexities of addiction, modern adolescence, family, forgiveness, and healing. This is a story that you will feel – and those feelings may be as complex as the story itself. I believe in the power that music and story-telling hold to connect us in a shared human experience, and to learn about lived experiences that may be wholly unfamiliar to us.

This will be the first time this show is performed in Kansas City, and as a place known for both Broadway theatre and live music, I’m proud to present a show that gives you a powerful combination of both.

I want to thank each and every one of you who has chosen to be here tonight to experience this show with Starlight. I hope that you take away something meaningful from tonight’s story, and that it serves as a conversation-starter. I want to especially thank Starlight’s Board of Directors and our employees, partners, volunteers, and donors for their dedication to our mission to connect our community through live arts experiences that entertain, inspire, and engage.

Thank you for choosing Starlight – a uniquely Kansas City tradition of music and theatre under the stars!

RETURNING TO THE STARLIGHT STAGE

Growing up, Elaine Watson saw a number of shows at Starlight and enjoyed her first concert under the stars—but it wasn’t until the Blue Star Awards that she realized she wanted to be on the Starlight stage one day. She returned to the Starlight stage during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 for Raise Our Voices, a video series with a mission to amplify social awareness by providing opportunities for artists from diverse backgrounds. Now, this multiple-time Blue Star Awards nominee and winner returns to Starlight in the ensemble of the First National Tour of Jagged Little Pill, playing August 1 – 6.

Starlight is thrilled to welcome Elaine back to Kansas City for this production and is proud to have been part of her journey.

57 2023 MAKES AN IMPACT Economic Impact guests, including all 50 states, one of 100 nights in 2019, an estimated back into the economy beyond the admission. Community Investment 28,594 Kansas City area residents were impacted by community engagement programs providing arts education and access to the arts in 2019. Landmark Preservation Starlight is the oldest and largest continually operating performing arts organization in KC. Since 1992, $35 million has been privately invested in the city-owned theatre, which receives less than 2% of its annual revenue from public funding. THE IMPACT OF A GIFT No matter the size, your one-time gift makes an immediate impact. $15 $150 $25/mo $50/mo Promote arts accessibility by covering the cost of a free Broadway ticket through the Community Tickets program. Combine the healing power of the arts with the magic of Starlight by funding one local artist in a Just Imagine performance.  Ensure the arts are accessible to all by supporting the cost of a sign language interpreter at a live event. Celebrate the achievements in local high school theatre by funding one of many scholarships awarded to students who engage with theatre both on and off the stage. Your monthly gift maximizes its impact over time

BUILDING A HOME FOR ALL

In 2021, Starlight partnered with local nonprofit organization Variety KC to improve services and signage to support Starlight’s ongoing efforts toward embedding inclusion, diversity, equity, and access into the fibers of the organization.

Recent upgrades and amenities at Starlight Theatre now include:

Innovative parking signs featuring Variety KC ambassadors–a reminder to keep designated parking spots open for those who need them.

Communication boards at Guest Information kiosks as well as communication boards that patrons can check out for free or have a printed copy on performance nights.

Sensory kits are available for free check out during shows including noise-canceling headsets, weighted blankets, and fidget toys.

Newly installed universal changing tables in restrooms.

Providing care to people is a privilege. I never forget that.”

For me, there’s nothing more rewarding than the meaningful connections I make with my patients. Maybe it’s growing up in a small town where those personal values remain strong. Or maybe it’s the belief, shared with all of my co-workers, that people come first. Whatever it is, the opportunity to provide care is a privilege I never forget.
