Guests filled our seats, buzzing with the energy of live
performances once again. The team worked with our
community as we expanded relationships and welcomed new
partners. We announced that Rich Baker would be retiring as
Starlight’s President + C.E.O. at the end of March 2023 and
that current V.P. of Philanthropy and C.O.O. Lindsey Rood-
Cliord would succeed him. Lindsey has been a long-time
member of the Starlight family and will be the first female
C.E.O. in the history of our organization.
As we look to the future, we pause to celebrate Starlight’s
accomplishments in 2022. Thank you for being a part of
the Starlight community, for supporting our mission, and for
recognizing the importance of the arts in Kansas City!

This year, in partnership with

and Kansas City, Kansas
Public Schools, twelve middle
schools experienced the power
of creativity in an immersive
environment. Almost 400
students received free access

elements including lighting,
scenic, costuming, and stage
management. Students learned

produced show, Sister Act,
thanks to funding from the
National Endowment
