Former Clubhouse to Become Theater Rehearsal Center
The former Junior League Clubhouse at 107 East Fifty-eighth Street will be moved and repurposed as a theater rehearsal and storage hub for two groups. The Children's Community Theater owns the building and will house it July through December before transferring it to the city welfare department. The center will be shared by Junior League, Young Matrons, Musettes, University of Kansas City Junior College, and Southeast and Central high schools. The welfare department will relocate the building to park department property at Forty-eighth and Oak, with the theater division using it thereafter. The Junior League will remodel their new site at Forty-seventh Street and Roanoke Parkway starting July 6, with a first meeting in September.
