KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Almost one year after the pandemic shuttered theaters and live performance venues, a local theater has created a streaming option for audiences to safely return to the arts.
In December, Musical Theater Heritage took over an empty art gallery at a crossroads hotel. Inside, they filmed their new show, "The Music of Motown."
"I was looking at the lyrics and I was blown away," director Ron Lackey said. "Here we are, that's the music of the '60s and '70s and the music, the lyrics are still so relevant to some of the atmosphere and the things that are happening in our country right now. So we just wanted to bring some people some joy coming out of 2020 where they would have an opportunity to just sit, and receive something and fill their soul and have a little joy as we start this year off."
