ABOUT THE PLAY
Arts Or Crafts is a play that consists of a collection of original scenes ranging from the hilarious to the disturbing, this Kansas City Premiere explores censorship and snobbery involved in judging the artistic. From early Greek architecture to Katie Holmes’ Broadway appearance in All My Sons —nothing is sacred in this biting and incisive new work.

CAST: Chioma Anyanwu, Teisha M. Bankston, Janet Henry, Mark Manning, Joel Moses and Ben Orscheln
