As always, Dead Tree Media want's to put bad news nicely . . .
"Denton Yockey, president and executive producer at Starlight Theatre since 2008, will leave after his contract expires in September following the final show of the season. Yockey's departure is part of a major restructuring announced Tuesday by the Starlight board."
However . . .
TKC READERS KNOW THAT THIS MOVE FOLLOWS A SHOOTING SCARE THAT TERRIFIED PATRONS WITH THE SOUND OF SWOPE PARK GUNFIRE!!!
And while Starlight has made progress . . . Like ridding the outdoor theater of a nest of bats . . . There's still a lot of work to be done amid Kansas City's theater of death and violence that tragically spikes during the Summer season.
