Together with Ballet Wichita

If you’re looking for something a little different (and a little more meaningful) to do this weekend, Breaking Barriers from Ballet Wichita is worth a spot on your calendar.

Happening April 3–4 at the B-29 Doc Hangar, this contemporary ballet blends movement with Wichita’s history—featuring original works inspired by the Dockum Drug Store Sit-In and the influential women who helped shape our city.

It’s not just a performance either (thanks to partnerships with local museums), you’ll get context and storytelling as you walk in, making the whole experience feel more immersive than your typical night at the ballet.

🍽️ Take a quick quiz about your personality, interests, and food preferences.

✨ Get matched with five other Wichitans who fit your vibe (food preferences, budget, life stage, etc.).

📍 Your table of six meets for dinner on Tuesday, April 7th at 6:30 PM — the exact restaurant is revealed that morning.

🥂 After dinner, all groups are invited to a casual after-meetup to keep the conversation going.
