Through a series of vignettes, chart-topping songs, and razor-sharp humor, the show explores the highs and lows of relationships in the big city. Stephen Sondheim's iconic score brings this Tony Award-winning classic to life, offering a fresh and thought-provoking take on the meaning of connection, commitment, and the pursuit of happiness.

He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to Wichita.
It’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, BEETLEJUICE is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!
Celebrate Wichita hosting the 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Championships with “Bouncing through Downtown”, a unique art experience transforming downtown storefronts into basketball-inspired galleries. Three local artists have reimagined and recycled basketballs into one-of-a-kind installations, bringing creativity and energy to the city.
Funded by a City of Wichita grant, the artworks will be on display March 15 – April 7, inviting residents and visitors to explore downtown in a fresh, vibrant way during the tournament.
Featured Artwork and Locations are the following:
“A Game of Growth” – Taylor McQueary|
509 E. Douglas Ave.
Blending basketball with nature, this vibrant installation features bold paintings of players in action. Surrounding them, oversized paper mâché plants and flowers—incorporating recycled basketballs—symbolize growth and transformation. McQueary, an art teacher at Wichita West High School, collaborated with her students to bring this vision to life.
“Ballin’ Wichita Flag” and “Hooping in the Dub” – Mike Glasscock
102 N. St. Francis St.
This striking reimagining of the Wichita flag uses painted basketballs as individual pixels to form the city’s iconic red, white and blue design. A second piece at this corner property deploys metal basketball rims to create our city’s iconic “W.”
“Braille in the Paint” – Envision Arts Gallery, an initiative of Envision
801 E. Douglas Ave.
Recycled basketballs, painted white, form the words "WICHITA KS" in Braille on a sleek white basketball court. Smaller basketballs spell out basketball-themed messages. Vinyl-mounted Braille decoders are positioned at an accessible height, ensuring that everyone, including children and those in wheelchairs, can engage with and decode the messages.
On Friday, March 21, a public walking tour will begin at 509 E. Douglas Ave. at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 21. Also happening that day is You Be the Artist, happening in Naftzger Park where participants can create a sunflower out of recycled basketball materials. Click here for more information.
