Who is KC Stage?

KC Stage Magazine (kcstage.com) is the most comprehensive resource of performing arts for the Kansas City metro area, covering theatre, dance, music, and independent film. The monthly print magazine and website provides event listings and articles about the performing arts and film industries in and around the Kansas City metro area, and occasionally items that are regional or national. There are over 200 arts organizations registered with KC Stage, from Lawrence to Warrensburg, including every level of expertise from educational to professional.

What does it have to do with Fringe?

Since 2006, KC Stage Magazine has partnered with the KC Fringe Festival, giving audiences continuous in-depth coverage during the Festival. During the Festival, our website fringe.kcstage.com is online, giving anyone show listings, reviews, and top-rated shows just for the Fringe Festival, separate from our regular listings on our main page.

Anyone can rate and/or review shows on both kcstage.com and fringe.kcstage.com (free registration required), and in 2011, several Fringe shows were listed in our top rated show listing, with one even winning top-rated professional shows.

Great: how can we help?

The way KC Stage operates is that all our calendar listings (whether it's in the magazine or on the website) come from the organizations registered with us inputting the information themselves. We are an all-volunteer run organization, and that is one of the main reasons we are able to continue to operate. The Fringe Festival will be listing all the shows at the Fringe through their account. If you are a local organization and decide to list your show under your listing, you do have the potential to split your rating – with some going to the Fringe listing, and some going to yours.

Also, be sure promote to your audiences to go to fringe.kcstage.com and rate and/or review your show!
