STARLIGHT STRIVES TO ENRICH THE KANSAS CITY REGION FOR ALL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS BY BUILDING APPRECIATION FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS, MAKING LIVE THEATRE AND MUSIC AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE, PROVIDING SUPERIOR ARTS EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS, AND DELIVERING EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. A BELOVED KANSAS CITY CULTURAL TRADITION, STARLIGHT DEVOTES SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO PRESERVING AND ENHANCING ITS HOME VENUE IN SWOPE PARK AND CREATING NEW MEMORIES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. PRESENTING LIVE BROADWAY THEATRE SINCE 1951, THE NONPROFIT STARLIGHT THEATRE ASSOCIATION IS KANSAS CITY'S OLDEST AND LARGEST PERFORMING ARTS ORGANIZATION. THE ASSOCIATION OPERATES, PROGRAMS AND MAINTAINS THE LARGEST OUTDOOR STAGE IN THE UNITED STATES, AS WELL AS THE 16-ACRE STARLIGHT THEATRE COMPLEX. THE THEATRE SEATS APPROXIMATELY 8,000 AND IS LOCATED IN SWOPE PARK, THE LARGEST PARK IN KANSAS CITY. WHILE FUNDING ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS OF $1,203,453 FOR THE STARLIGHT VENUE, THE ASSOCIATION ALSO RAISES FUNDS FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS, INCLUDING BROADWAY MUSICALS, CONCERTS, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. SINCE 2000, THE ASSOCIATION HAS CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN $31 MILLION OF PRIVATELY FUNDED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE KANSAS CITY, MO.-OWNED STARLIGHT THEATRE, OFFSETTING LOCAL GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL LOADS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, STARLIGHT RECORDED MORE THAN $1.3 MILLION OF DEPRECIATION EXPENSES RELATED TO THE THEATRE FACILITY, EQUIPMENT, AND OFFICES. STARLIGHT IS A FREQUENT RECIPIENT OF LOCAL, NATIONAL AND EVEN INTERNATIONAL AWARDS AND RECOGNITION. IN 2013, STARLIGHT WON THE PRESTIGIOUS VENUE EXCELLENCE AWARD FROM THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF VENUE MANAGERS. HONORS IN 2021 INCLUDED: BEST LIVE MUSIC VENUE (OVER 1,000) -THE PITCH BEST OF KC AWARDS; BEST LIVE THEATER -THE PITCH BEST OF KC AWARDS; BEST OUTDOOR VENUE -THE PITCH BEST OF KC AWARDS; BEST LIVE THEATER VENUE -KANSAS CITY MAGAZINE'S BEST OF KC; BEST OUTDOOR MUSIC VENUE -KANSAS CITY MAGAZINE'S BEST OF KC; AND BEST MUSIC VENUE -KANSAS CITY MAGAZINE'S BEST OF KC. STARLIGHT TYPICALLY BENEFITS FROM STRONG TICKET SALES AND ANCILLARY REVENUE FROM PARKING AND CONCESSIONS AND HAS NOT RELIED HEAVILY ON CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS OR GOVERNMENT SUPPORT. IN 2020 AND 2021, THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF STARLIGHT'S ANNUAL REVENUE WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED. BROADWAY TOURING PRODUCTIONS WERE STILL SUBJECT TO STRICT PANDEMIC RULES, AND MANY CONCERT TOURS OPTED TO CANCEL OR ONCE AGAIN POSTPONE TO SUMMER 2022. WITHOUT REGULAR PROGRAMMING, STARLIGHT'S REMAINING EXPENSES INCLUDED THE CORE OF WHAT SETS STARLIGHT APART: A HISTORIC LANDMARK AND ITS 16-ACRE CAMPUS; COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMMING THAT PIVOTED TIME AND AGAIN TO CONTINUE TO SERVE KANSAS CITY; AND THE YEAR-ROUND FULL-TIME STAFF WHO ADJUSTED THEIR WORK TO SERVE NEW INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS, AND PREPARED FOR A FUTURE THAT REQUIRED MULTIPLE SCENARIO CONSIDERATIONS. STARLIGHT LOOKS FORWARD TO THE RETURN OF A FULL SCHEDULE OF LIVE PERFORMANCES ON ITS STAGE IN THE SUMMER OF 2022. HOWEVER, STARLIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO NAVIGATE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL CHALLENGES AND UNPREDICTABLE ATTENDANCE AS IT RECOVERS FROM TWO TRULY HISTORIC YEARS. IN A NORMAL YEAR, NEARLY 90% OF STARLIGHT'S OPERATING BUDGET IS SUPPORTED BY EARNED REVENUE RELATED TO SUMMER BROADWAY SERIES AND CONCERTS. STARLIGHT PLANS TO LEVERAGE ITS UNIQUE OUTDOOR THEATRE SETTING TO FOSTER A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR NOT ONLY THE RETURN TO NORMAL STARLIGHT PROGRAMMING BUT PRESENT NEW PROGRAMMING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER ARTS AND CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS THAT SHARE SIMILAR CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES.

THIS ALLOWED THE ORGANIZATION TO PIVOT ONCE AGAIN AND UTILIZE THE THEATRE SPACE IN A NEW WAY INSTEAD OF BEING DARK THROUGHOUT THE WINTER, AND ALSO INTRODUCE NEW AUDIENCES TO THE STARLIGHT EXPERIENCE. FOR THE FIRST TIME, STARLIGHT EXPANDED ITS CREATIVE PROGRAMMING TO INCLUDE THE IMMERSIVE ART EXHIBIT, VAN GOGH ALIVE. PARTNERING WITH THE NELSON-ATKINS MUSEUM OF ART, VAN GOGH ALIVE FEATURED A CAFE, INFORMATIONAL EXHIBIT, AND TWO PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES, IN ADDITION TO THE IMMERSIVE SPACE FEATURING FLOOR-TO-CEILING PROJECTIONS OF VAN GOGH'S WORK SET TO CLASSICAL MUSIC.
