Kauffman Center For Performing Arts

It's been a long time coming.  We've watched the 285,000 square-foot Kauffman Center grow from the ground up through our windows and could not be happier that it's finally complete and open to the public!

Not only is it helping to put KC on the map in the Arts community (finally), but it's also an architectural masterpiece.  We're looking forward to seeing many of the upcoming shows this season, and it's even cooler that it's so close that we can just walk over to it after work!

VO Community Meet-up

Matt Wiewel & Debbie Jackson hosted a Kansas City Voice-over Meet-up at our studio!  It's a gathering of the local voice-over community, and this time it included special guest speaker Jim Birdsall.  He's the voice of CNBC and NFL Films.  What a great night!
