Following the success of Heart/Roots: Wabaunsee County in 2022 and Writing Wabaunsee County in 2024, Volland is excited to announce a new local theatre project for the summer of 2026.

In keeping with the national celebration of "America 250," Kansas Abridged will honor the rich history of our state by staging a series of original short stories.

The project will present a series of original plays written and performed by Wabaunsee Countians. All residents, of all ages and experience levels, are invited to submit writing samples and audition for acting spots!
