We need to get this place moving in a lot more rapid and productive direction
it could be
if put enough effort into
the new premiere local and regional spot for live music of all genres
call the people there to get as many shows possible booked going in the 2024
cause they're already busy enough as it is
but the Hard Rock and Metal community in Kansas City Metro area definitely need to figure out a way to take over this place for future upcoming local shows.

I took part in the Black Box Theater's "No Sleep November" event after many, many years away from the stage. It reminded me of everything I love about the theater.

The people associated with this incredible venue are 100% dedicated to supporting artists in Kansas City, and they are all very cool, unique, and supportive individuals!

This place vibes. Check it out.

The place is basically isolated so parking isn't really an issue. There were a few issues with the tech not working properly and the guy not being able to fix it but this didn't impact the experience.

I'm so glad they accommodated letting us come on the last warm night of the season!

It was cold, but the show must go on.
Loved loved loved The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

The musical was great but the Venue leaves a lot to be desired. 5 outhouses for the amount of guests is nasty. The play gets interrupted by trains right across the street. This venue needs to be abandoned and an inside theater needs to be utilized. There are a lot of venues that could support this show!

Amazing place for fun local theatre. I ordered the Hot Poot (hot cider + fireball) and it warmed my hands and belly on a chilly night

The Black Box production of THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 was astounding in every sense of the word! Producing Artistic Director Heidi Van put together a show with incredible talent and scope. The players took over the theatre, treating the audience to an up close and personal experience like I have never seen before making the audience part of the show.
Great theatre!

Camry Ivory with Colorcature had an amazing performance at The Black Box. I will definitely check out other performances in this unique space.

Excellent vibes! Very comforting atmosphere. Ethan and the other bartender (I didn't catch their name) were awesome as well!

We went to the Black Box several times in a couple of weeks for Fringe Festival shows. The service is friendly, quick and reasonably priced. The a/c was a bit too cool for some of us, despite the blistering weather outside.
