New play opens at Heartland Theatre
The American Heartland Theatre presents, “Are We There Yet” – A Family Survival Guide, through Aug. 23 at the Theatre in Crown Center.
This play offers a fresh look at the roller-coaster ride we call the “typical American family.” From childbirth to senior prom, through blind dates and family trips, all the way to empty nests and the joys that can still be had after 60. Using song, dance and sketch comedy, there is something for everyone.
Tickets prices range from $17.50 to $33. For tickets, call 816-842-9999 or at the theatre box office.
