University Theatre at KU cancels Summer Theatre program
Editorial notes budget shortfalls forced cancellation of Kansas Summer Theatre after 25 years on campus. Ticket revenue covered about half of operating costs, while four years of deficits persisted. Lawrence’s crowded theatre scene adds to the challenge, but KU students’ talents and the Friends group remain active with fundraising for facilities at William Inge Memorial Theatre. Blithe Spirit opened Friday and exemplifies the program’s value to the community.
