Announcing our 2025 Musical!
After the success of our premiere show “She Loves Me” in 2023, and the amazing “A Tale of Two Cities the Musical” in 2024, A Place For Us Productions is proud to present our 2025 musical, the fantasmagorical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
Based on the beloved 1968 film version of Ian Fleming’s children’s book, and featuring an unforgettable score by the Sherman Brothers, the story follows the eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts, his two children Jeremy and Jemima, and his lady friend Truly Scrumptious, and their many adventures with their magical car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Directed by Daniel Thompson, we are thrilled to be presenting Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as our first ever immersive experience, and to be leading the way for immersive theatre experiences in the non-professional Kansas City theatre scene!
Hosted in our beautiful new home at The CO-OP at Shoal Creek, our audience will step into the world of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and will get to experience an incredible up close and personal show that the whole family will love!
Mark your calendars for September 5-7th and 11-14th, 2025! Thank you so much for your support, and come out and see our truly scrumptious show!

Introducing Our 2025 Teen Production !
Directed by Alexandra Rovirosa
Dates: April 25-26th, 2025

A Place For Us Productions is so excited to announce our first ever Teen Production! This spring, step into the hilarious and witty world of The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde’s sparkling comedy of manners. Our vibrant and thoroughly entertaining theatrical production perfectly captures the wit, charm, and biting social satire of the original play. Directed by Alexandra Rovirosa, this new interpretation brings fresh energy to Wilde’s beloved masterpiece while staying true to the wit and wordplay that has made the play a timeless classic.
Set in the late 19th century, the play revolves around two charming but mischievous bachelors, Algernon Moncrieff and John Worthing, who each lead double lives to escape the constraints of Victorian society. John, who uses the name "Ernest" when in town, seeks to win the hand of Gwendolen Fairfax, who is obsessed with the name. Meanwhile, Algernon adopts the persona of "Ernest" to woo Cecily Cardew, John’s young ward. However, as lies compound upon lies, mistaken identities and a series of comic misunderstandings ensue, culminating in a brilliantly absurd and heartwarming conclusion.
