The Arts Asylum

In early August of 2021, The Arts Asylum made the decision to cease operations at 1000 E 9th street and make the move to Brookside East in to The A to Z Theatrical Campus at 824 Meyer Blvd.  

Meyer will bring together a new collective of partners who will drive our programming and theatrical endeavors under the guidance of Korey Childs, Artistic Director.  The Arts Asylum along with Faust Theatre, The City of Fountains Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,  and Pop Culture Sculptures will produce shows, events, and programs that will continue enriching our communities the same way we always have.  

New building
New PArtners
New Works
same mission

Continuing our current partnerships at The South Kansas City Performing Arts Academy, ArtsBlock, Craft & Sage Financial Partners, School of Economics and The Real World Learning Initiative, programs like theatre classes, artist critiques, gallery displays, curation guidance, and community engagement is the backbone of our mission.  

With the addition of programs such as Drag Queen Story Time, , Parallels: A docu-series, production support of local playwrights and many more in the works, The Arts Asylum will create a more robust foundation on which to support our mission and theatrical works.
