Kansas City, Mo. – Kansas City Actors Theatre, or KCAT, has built a reputation for designing its seasons around a specific theme or playwright. In past years, the company studied marriage by mounting four different plays about it, and spotlighted Missouri-native Lanford Wilson by staging his three "Talley" plays.

This month, the troupe is tackling four works by Harold Pinter, whose unique style of playwriting gives actors a lot to chew on.

"The Pinter Project"
August 16 - September 11, 2011
H&R Block City Stage at Union Station.
