About the event

Reduction in Force (reading)
Join KCPublic for our first step in taking the new satire “Reduction in Force” from page to stage!

Beginning with this reading, KCPublic will work with our 2025-26 Resident Playwright Ryan Bernsten throughout the season, culminating in this play's first production in May 2026 at our 5th Annual Theatre Lab FEST.

About Reduction in Force:
Leadership at S.L.A.Y., a struggling youth suicide prevention nonprofit, is planning mass layoffs in the name of “sustainability.” Employees scramble to keep their jobs in a workplace where loyalty trumps impact, performative virtue masks ambition, and gaslighting is policy. Reduction in Force is a blistering comedy about power, performative politics, and the human cost of a mission-driven machine.

Content Advisory: Strong language, mature themes and humor regarding suicide and race.

As always, admission is free-at-the-door!
