A

Poppies
in
World
War
one
are
a
symbol
of
remembrance
in
the
battlefields
of
Europe
in
the
war,
these
poppies
grew
in
amongst
the
the
battlefields
and
amongst
the
dead
bodies.
Soon,
after
the
war,
they
became
a
symbol
of
remembrance.
Some
people
would
wear
poppies
on
the
lapels,
so
as
part
of
our
commemoration
of
the
Armistice
the
100
years
since
the
ending
of
the
war,
we're
lighting
the
memorial
and
the
great
frieze
in
poppies.
C
So
each
evening
from
November,
the
2nd
through
the
evening
of
November,
the
11th,
the
people
can
come
out
here
at
the
National
World
War
1
Museum
a
memorial
and
see
a
remarkable
sight
of
the
tower.
The
National
World
War
1
memorial,
lit
with
poppy
blooms,
are
really
moving
tribute
to
those
who
fought
and
died
in
World,
War,
1
and
remember.
A
D
Well,
project
boo
is
an
opportunity
for
kids
from
all
over
Kansas
City
to
come
and
have
a
fun
interaction
at
City
Hall.
So
we
had
about
120
kids
that
came
in
today
from
about
four
different
organizations
who
went
from
floor
to
floor,
getting
candy
and
some
other
goodies
from
our
city
employees,
and
it
was
just
a
great
opportunity
for
interaction
to
happen
between
the
city
and
the
future
of
our
city.
A
We're
already
into
year
2
of
our
goal,
KC
projects
and
thanks
to
your
input
and
your
voter
approval,
we've
got
things
happening
all
over
the
city,
so
we've
got
videos
of
our
goal.
Kc
work
going
on,
all
you
got
to
do
is
go
to
our
YouTube
page
and
you
can
see
all
kinds
of
progress
being
made
so
check
out
the
video
of
this
go
kacy
project,
along
with
other
city
videos,
and
thanks
for
watching
the
weekly
report,
I'm
rod,
Richardson.
D
E
Am
excited
that
after
a
whole
lot
of
moving
parts,
including,
of
course,
the
voters
overwhelmingly
supporting
our
geo
bond,
we're
finally
making
it
happen.
This
is
really
going
to
create
a
wonderful
gateway
to
the
Northland
and
it's
going
to
create
better
mobility
and
equitable
transportation
options
for
our
entire
city.
You.

Hello
Kansas
City
each
year
the
city
of
Kansas
City
Missouri
likes
to
honor
veterans
on
Veterans
Day
this
year.
We're
doing
that
again,
please
send
us
your
name
branch
of
service
and
picture
available
to
the
city
of
Kansas,
City
Missouri
on
Twitter
at
KC,
MO
and
hashtag
KC
honors
vets,
and
we
will
honor
them
again
this
year.
Thank
you.
H
I
H
B
I'm
councilman
Quentin
Lucas-
and
this
is
my
friend
Isabella-
did
you
know
more
than
225,000
dogs
and
cats,
call
the
city
of
Kansas
City
home,
but
sadly,
barely
10%
of
them
are
licensed.
My
friend
Isabella
here
has
her
license
and
she's.
Why
you
should
license
your
pet
to
Isabella
is
a
good
dog,
but
what
if
she
runs
off
and
I
can't
catch
her?
B
B
So,
if
your
dog
occasionally
likes
to
roam
on
its
own
there's
a
one-time
ticket
waiver,
no
treat
for
Isabella
if
that
happens,
but
a
big
treat
for
me
and
there
are
no
shelter
fees
if
I'm
home
when
animal
health
brings
beautiful,
Etha
Bella
back
licensing,
your
pet
is
easy
and
inexpensive.
Almost
any
kansas
city
veterinarian
can
do
it
or
you
can
go
to
the
animal
shelter
at
4400,
Raytown
Road.
You
can
even
license
your
pet
online
at
www.hsn.com.
B
It's
the
money
goes
towards
a
variety
of
worthwhile
and
much-needed
animal
health
services,
including
food,
shelter
and
vet
care
for
stray
and
homeless
pets
and
for
adoption
services.
So
other
dogs,
like
my
Isabella,
can
have
a
home
too.
So
please
license
your
pet.
After
all,
a
pet
license
helps
us
write,
Isabella.
J
Today
we
are
at
the
Charlotte
Street
foundation
studios,
which
is
home
to
many
local
artists
and
arts
organizations,
including
Kansas
City
Public
Theater,
whose
founder
we
were
interviewing
today,
who
is
hosting
Monday
theater
labs
at
the
arts
bar
and
Elizabeth
Bowman.
Thank
you
for
being
here
with
us
today.
Yeah.
J
K
Well,
myself
and
our
other
co-founder
Nathan
Bowman.
We
have
been
involved
in
Kansas
City
theatre
for
at
least
10
years,
and
it
is
a
great
thriving
atmosphere
and
everybody
actually
has
been
very
supportive
of
us
in
our
endeavor,
because
we've
realized
as
artists
that
even
for
us
to
go
see
our
friend
shows
or
to
see
anything
else
within
that's
been
going
on.
It
costs
$40
or
more
just
to
go,
see
the
show.
K
So
as
artists,
we
want
to
keep
going
it's
not
as
accessible
since
there
is
that
price
tag
on
it,
and
so
we
decided
to
make
it
to
take
down
that
barrier
and
make
free
theaters.
So
not
only
us
and
our
friends
can
go
see
professional
quality
theater,
but
people
around
the
city
can
have
the
same
access
as
we
do.
It's
also
not
necessarily
as
except
accessible
because
location,
it's
intimidating
to
go
to
big
fancy
theaters,
and
so
we
really
wanted
to
break
down
barriers.
So
our
mission
is
to
have
free
theater,
which
is
pretty
radical.
L
K
So
that
was
her
very
first
program
that
we
decided
to
do.
We
thought
it
was
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
we
could
add
to
the
city,
and
so
it
is
a
safe
place
for
artists
to
create
and
for
new
theater
patrons
to
come
experience,
arts
and
it's
free
every
single
time
and
we
are
in
the
arts
bar
the
uptown
arts
bar.
They
are
very
generous
and
let
us
be
there
every
first
Monday
of
the
month,
and
so
some
of
the
programming
that
we
do
includes
staged
readings
by
local
playwrights.
K
Our
most
recent
one
was
by
Prisca
chebet
ken
de
gore
and
she's,
a
local
playwright
in
Kansas
City,
and
that
was
really
great
because
we
not
only
got
to
put
up
one
of
her
shows
on
its
feet
in
a
staged
reading
atmosphere.
But
we
also
could
work
with
her
personally
and
I
helped
her
develop
the
play
and
she
could
take
what
we
were
doing
and
add
it
to
what
she
liked
or
take
away
what
she
didn't
like,
because
she
could
actually
see
it
up
on
its.
K
I
know
November:
we
are
going
to
do
the
madness
of
lady
bright,
it's
a
one-act
by
Lanford
Wilson,
who
is
actually
from
the
area
he
passed
away,
believe
in
the
80s
and
that
he
was
very
prolific
in
the
early
1960s,
the
70s,
and
he
had
a
lot
of
work
that
was
produced
off-broadway
and
on
Broadway
as
well,
and
so
this
is
one
of
his
very
first
very
famous
place
and
it's
experience.
One
of
his
more
experimental
plays
so.
J
You're
really
about
keeping
it
local
too,
so
you
have
local
contemporary
playwrights
that
are
working
things
out,
using
the
lab
to
work
things
out
and
to
grow
their
work.
But
then
you
have
established
local
giants
who
whose
work
may
not
be
on
people's
radar
or
people
may
not
know
that
they
are.
They
were
local
or
they
are
local.
So
that's
a
great
way
to
expose
folks
to
a
variety
of
plays
and
works.
Yeah.
K
And
that
goes
back
to
our
accessibility
too,
because
us
in
Kansas
City
a
lot
of
people,
don't
go
to
New
York,
all
the
time
we
watch
TV
shows
like
Law,
&,
Order
or
friends
or
whatever,
and
it's
all
in
New
York.
We
don't
have
that
background
that
we
haven't
lived
there.
We
that's
not
about
us,
so
we
want
to
keep
it
accessible.
Playwrights
who
are
from
the
area
still
have
the
same
vernacular
and
background
as
people
from
around
here
and
it's
an
easy
access
into
the
data
and
how.
K
K
We
have
our
theatre
lab
program,
which
is
our
monthly
program.
We
have
our
main
stage
program,
which
is
we
have.
We
try
to
do
three
main
big
productions
a
year
and
so
usually,
usually
that's
in
the
spring
summer
and
the
fall
recently.
We
did
Medea
with
Bruce
R
Watkins
and
the
Brush
Creek
amphitheater,
which
was
really
great.
That
was
open
to
everybody.
We
had
a
lot
of
people
who
had
just
stopped
because
they
saw
something
was
happening
in
their
neighborhood
and
they
would
come
back
later,
and
that
was.
