Decade by Decade

Decade by Decade

Here you will find a decade by decade history of Starlight. Our historic outdoor theatre in Kansas City’s Swope Park has operated continuously since 1950.

Much of the information is excerpted from Making Memories for 50 Years, a Starlight commemorative magazine published in 2000, and The Story of Starlight Theatre, written by Kathleen Hegarty Thorne and published in 1993.

We invite fans of Starlight to share memories of their own Starlight nights by emailing starlight@kcstarlight.com or mailing Starlight, Attn: Marketing Dept., 4600 Starlight Road, Kansas City, MO 64132. We particularly appreciate photographs with full caption information.
