ThreePenny Theatre was the brainchild of a couple of small town Kansas boys who grew up with a passion for the arts, but with almost no access to it. Too often shows were expensive, far away, and didn't have much to say. It was in basement rehearsal rooms, putting in long hours of their own time they learned that organizing a show could be done with almost passion alone, and the final product could say as much or more than an expensive musical.

So why was theatre so rare and tickets so expensive? That's when we realized the most valuable resource we had that others may not. Time. Everyone there was there because they wanted to make something, but also because they could sacrifice time to be there. So if we wanted to bring the experience of making and experiencing art to everyone, we knew we'd need to find a way to bring art to the people who need it most, those without time to spend on a hobby.
