The Submission
Olney
Winner of the inaugural Laurents-Hatcher Award, The Submission follows Danny, a gay, white playwright as his play gets accepted at the nation's preeminent theater festival. Trouble is, everyone thinks his stirring new play about an alcoholic black mother and her card sharp son trying to get out of the Projects is written by Shaleeha G'ntamobiand she doesn't exist. Controversial themes of race and sexuality are part of the mix, as is explicit language. Production Sponsors: Kevin White & Rossana Salvadori (Recommended for mature audiences due to themes and explicit language.)

Homefront Street Cars
COLESVILLE
The special exhibit, Homefront Street Cars, recalls the impact of the War on the men and women of the Capital Transit Company who supported the efforts of the armed forces with their labor. Trying to meet passenger demand with limited resources, the Company produced Tilley the Trolley and Billy the Bus to encourage patrons to use its services effectively. Kansas City Public Service created Ten Seconds to Go to persuade its employees to improve their work performance during the national emergency. During Memorial Day Weekend, Museum visitors may step back to the homefront with these films: Tilley the Trolley and Billy the Bus shown at 12:50 p.m. and 2:10 p.m.; Ten Seconds to Go shown at 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
