Ye Gods, this is a fun show to watch! "The Music Man" is playing weekends through February 18th at the Wichita Theatre and it's a great show for the whole family. The story revolves around a traveling salesman named Harold Hill (played by Eric West) whose usual m...

There will be no Blue Christmases this Friday evening as Kraig Parker brings the An Elvis Kind Of Christmas show to the Wichita Theatre stage! Kraig has been doing an Elvis Presley tribute show for about 15 years now, and his fan base keeps getting bigger. And louder! (Insert your own Elvis scream here.)

Quick, what's your favorite Dr. Seuss book? Chances are it'll be one of the stories brought to life this month at the Wichita Theatre downtown. A downtown landmark at 10th and Indiana for more than 100 years, the Wichita Theatre has played host to any number of shows from the early days of vaudeville to black and white "Talkie" movies to color movies to big name concerts to traveling tou
