Eat Their Words - Second Saturdays at 4 p.m.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Following the success of this fundraiser for KKFI, “Eat Their Words” will begin monthly performances on second Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. Showing that celebrity memoirs should not be tossed aside lightly, but thrown with great force, Kansas City “sublebrities” read selections from autobiographies and other words from the over-exposed, the over-wrought, and other people we are just plain over! While the event is free, donations are requested for KKFI, Kansas City’s Community radio station, and home to “The Tenth Voice,” the only local show covering gay and lesbian issues.

| 4N6 - Third Saturdays at 4 p.m.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An unusual performance opportunity for the Kansas City community, “4N6″ will celebrate the world of high school and college speech tournaments, also known as Forensics, giving the event its punning name. Co-owner Brian Heinen explains, “I participated in Forensics in high school, and when I graduated, it left a void. I no longer had that creative and performance outlet. I think other people may feel the same way, but in a more relaxed atmosphere, without the pressure of competition.” 4N6 will be held May 16 at 4:00 p.m. Contact Brian at info@outthereonline.com for more information or to get involved.

| PJ A.M. Toons – Saturdays 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. starting May 23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Combine cartoons, sugary cereals, and Saturday morning and what do you have? A Pajama Party, obviously! Starting May 23, Out There will host a weekly celebration of classic animation each Saturday morning from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. with an all-you-can-bear-to-eat cereal buffet. Remember, they don’t have to be what you wear to bed — they don’t even have to be yours — but those who show up in pajamas will receive a discount!

| Meet the Artist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beginning May 18, Out There will also host a month-long showing of work by Kansas City artist and actor Brad Shaw. Shaw describes his work as “everything from Afro-centric to abstract.” There will also be an opportunity to meet the artist and learn more about his art, which will include pieces on canvas and free-standing paintings and fiber works. |
