Wear what makes you comfortable! The Harriman-Jewell Series does not have a dress code so you’ll see people wearing jeans, business casual, dresses, and more. Some people enjoy dressing up and making a special night of it while others dress more casually. Most of our audience falls somewhere in between and business casual is always safe. Generally, the only tuxes you'll see are on stage!

The Harriman-Jewell Series presents performances in various venues throughout the Kansas City area. Please check your tickets for event venue information!

• Folly Theater

• Helzberg Hall, Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts

• Muriel Kauffman Theatre, Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts

We love sharing the joy of the performing arts with our audience members of all ages! We send program information, including any adult themes that may be included in a performance, and the performance length before each event so that you can plan accordingly. Many of our events are on the quiet side and audience members should be able to sit fairly still during the performance. Please call us if you have any questions about the performance or age recommendations!

We encourage families to attend our FREE Discovery Concerts which offer full-length performances in our favorite concert venues in Kansas City. Discovery Concerts also include free parking!

Parents of young children - we are thrilled that you want your child to experience the beauty and inspiration that live music and dance provides! You know your child best and whether they are able to enjoy the concert hall experience.
