Kansas Theatre Works Podcast

A whole new way to HEAR THEATRE!

Even though we can't all be together in a room, we can still share the power of storytelling. Maybe now more than ever, we need the human connection that stories can give us. In a new partnership between the School of Music, Theatre and Dance and the A. Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communciations, we are launching the "Kansas Theatre Works" podcast for our 2020-21 theatre season. Inspired by L.A. Theatre Works, a leader in audio theatre production, we will be presenting a season of plays by alumni playwrights (and Shakespeare--who is not an alumnus) and featuring Kansas State Theatre students and faculty.
Experience theatre from the comfort and safety of your favorite listening device!

We'll post new episodes here as they arrive. Listen here or on your favorite podcast player.

A spa. A lifetime. A river. When Oakley, a young person on the verge of a major crossroads in life takes a float therapy trip to meditate, they begin to navigate a rushing stream of memories and life paths with a mysterious fisherman named Ron, who has seen the world under a unique perspective. Together, they attempt to navigate the river of life in the new short play Styx by Ian Boyd-Duncan
