Announced on March 31, 2010, the award honors “outstanding contributions in the performing arts through the comprehensive devotion of its administration, faculty, students and alumni who exemplify true leadership in enriching the lives of their community. The strong presence of the University’s Department of Theatre, the Kansas City Repertory Theatre, and the Conservatory of Music and Dance are to be commended. This award also wishes to recognize, posthumously, Dr. Patricia. A. McIlrath, the first chair of Theatre and founding artistic director of the Repertory Theatre, for her leadership and collaboration in establishing the bridge between academic and professional theatre in Kansas City.”
