What Is Unicorn Theatre?

Updated

Unicorn Theatre is a professional theatre company in Kansas City, Missouri, based at 3828 Main Street. Its website, unicorntheatre.org, is the public face of the company: it lists the current and upcoming season, sells single tickets and season tickets, and provides practical visit information along with the theatre's history and contact details. If you are trying to decide whether to attend, book a season, or simply understand what the organization is, the site covers all three.

What the theatre presents

The site is organized around a season of staged productions rather than a single show. The current featured season is Season 53, presented as the 2026 | 2027 season, with individual productions each carrying their own dates and ticket links:

Production Dates
Red Like Fruit October 14 – 25, 2026
Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Elusive Ear November 11 – 29, 2026
Anti-Hero: Revenge of the Swifties December 9 – 27, 2026
Job February 3 – 14, 2027

Each listing on the homepage pairs the title and dates with a "Tickets" link and a "Learn More" link, so you can move from browsing the season to buying seats for a specific show. The season is framed on the site as "Be at the Center of What's Next," and season tickets are listed as on sale now.

What you can do on the site

The main navigation reflects the site's core functions:

  • Now Playing — what is currently on stage.
  • Buy Tickets — purchase seats for individual productions.
  • Visit — plan your trip; the site links to a dedicated plan-your-visit page.
  • Support Us — ways to support the theatre.
  • History and About — background on the organization.
  • Contact — reach the theatre directly.

There is also a search function and an email sign-up form (first name, last name, email) for updates.

Visitor and contact details

The address and phone number are published in the site footer: 3828 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111, phone 816-531-PLAY (7529). The footer also links to the theatre's privacy policy, terms of use, refund and exchange policy, and sitemap, plus its Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram accounts. If you need to confirm ticketing terms before buying, the refund and exchange policy is the page to check.

How the theatre is received

The site includes a "What the Fans Say" section with quoted reviews and audience comments. These include a review describing a "world premiere of a show I couldn't expect to see anywhere else" (Brock Wilbur, The Pitch), an audience member who visited from New York and compared the experience favorably to most off-Broadway shows they had seen, and a quote calling the work "pure conversation-starter material from start to finish" (Vivian Kane, KC Studio). These are promotional excerpts selected by the theatre, so treat them as an indication of the programming's reputation rather than an independent assessment.

When this site is the right place to start

Use unicorntheatre.org if you want to see what is currently playing or coming up in Season 53, buy single or season tickets, or get the address and phone number for a visit. If you are weighing a specific show, start from its listing to confirm dates and the ticket link; if you are planning around a trip, check the Visit page and the refund and exchange policy before committing. The site does not publish ticket prices on the homepage, so cost will need to be confirmed at the point of purchase.
