The Emerald is turning 1 year old and we want YOU to help us celebrate! Drinks, food, clowns, burlesque, drag, sideshow, and lots of dancing!

Saturday April 27th! Wowie can’t believe it’s already been a year since we officially opened The Emerald. Last April we really hit the ground running on our quest to provide a space that encourages performers to experiment, chase ambitious ideas and make attempts to push the boundaries of their mediums.

We’re very proud to be part of the Kansas City arts community, so we would love to invite you all to celebrate with us for our one year birthday party! Dress up and make sure to wear your dancing shoes, because we’ve got @marmoppes providing live dance music all night! It wouldn’t be a party without showcasing some of our favorite local performers in town! We’re talkin clowns, burlesque, live music, magic, sideshow, comedy and more! If you’ve yet to come to The Emerald, this is the one to write down in your calendars.

We are on the second floor with no elevator unfortunately.

MarchFourth is a joy-inducing force of entertainment, celebrating their 20th Anniversary this year. The colorful explosion of brassy funk, rock, and jazz is all about the groove. This larger-than-life group of 15 musicians, dancers and acrobats brings a spirit of celebration wherever they go. MarchFourth is, in a word, FUN!

With exceptional musical quality and a visual kaleidoscope of performers, MarchFourth is a spectacle of high-energy compositions, colorful costumes, and irresistible charisma! M4 has been seen on stages from ESPN’s Espy Awards to festivals like Wakarusa, Bumbershoot, and High Sierra Music Fest, to world-class venues like The Kennedy Center, Hollywood Bowl, The Fillmore, and even a cultural exchange tour to China, sponsored by the US State Department.

MarchFourth’s track “Gospel” (from their self-released album Rise Up, 2009) was featured as the closing credits theme song in the Disney/Pixar animated film, Monsters University. MarchFourth’s new album Worth It is due out in 2023.
