🎥 What if YOU could help rewrite a brand-new comedy?

PUBLIC ACCESS by Kansas City playwright Aaron Bohn is a hilarious new play about a struggling public TV station, a disgraced Hollywood director, and a crew of lovable weirdos who have no idea what they’re doing.

But here’s the twist 👇
🗣️ After every performance, YOU give feedback
🎭 The cast rehearses changes during the run
✨ The show evolves—so no two weeks are the same

Come early in the run to shape the play…
Come back later (for a discount!) to see what Kansas City helped create.

📍 May 7–17, 2026

Introducing Dustin J. Reckling as Pastor Pete. Pastor Pete's Puppet Parade has been a staple on the public access channel for over 16 years, despite the fact that he and his puppets pick some of the more uncomfortable Bible stories to read on air. Will his content get the station shut down before the kiddos at home can learn about circumcision? Find out TONIGHT in Public Access by Aaron Bohn!

Dustin earned his Bachelor of Arts from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 2020 and makes himself laugh daily. Recent local credits include three appearances in Arts Asylum's Not So Sober series, Anthony Marston in And Then There Were None with The Barn Players, and Cowboy in Boys in the Band with Whim Productions. His partner (and, to a lesser extent, Newsweek) has said he's, "Up for anything."

Catch the show now through May 17th at Just Off Broadway Theatre and help us shape this new work - tickets and information available at bit.ly/PublicAccessKC

Introducing Connor Eastman as Dominic Harris. Dom is a celebrated director and filmmaker with his next project, Hot Babes Five, about to kick off production when he is sentenced to 16 weeks of community service with a small public access television station. If he can get the station shut down sooner than that, he will be free to get back to work on what really matters. With how zaney the cast and crew are, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. But will the oddballs convince him that their wacky shows are worth saving?

Connor Eastman is happy to be part of Hypothesis KC for their premiere of Public Access! Previous shows include Bright Ideas (Arts Asylum), Lipstick (Whim Space), The Wonder Drug (Fringe), and Proof (OCTA). Thanks to their parents for their support and always seeing every show, and thanks to Hypothesis for letting them be part of this wacky new script.

at Just Off Broadway May 7-17, 2026 to help us shape this new work. Audiences will be asked to provide feedback after each show to inform script and production changes for the second week of performances. See the show twice to find out how your opinions affected the show! Tickets and more info are available at bit.ly/PublicAccessKC
