About A to Z

A to Z Theatrical Supply and Service has been serving the theatre community for over half a century. In 1959, Dick McGehee started the company working out of his home, selling theatrical lighting and rigging equipment, just as he had while working at Great Western Stage Equipment Co. As the business grew, Dick hired on his brother Bill and they expanded into a 6,000 square foot space in Kansas City. (Later, Bill started Allied Theatre Crafts that he operated until his death in 2013. It was then bought by A to Z Theatrical.)

Over the years, A to Z has grown and improved to better serve not just Kansas City, but clients all over the world. Current owner Alex Perry acquired the company in 2013 with a vision of working on fun and innovative projects to enhance the theatrical world. With locations in Kansas City, Wichita, and Milwaukee, we now have over 100,000 square feet of costumes, make up, theatrical supplies, props and everything else your production might need!

Costuming: Our costume staff has over a half century of experience between them, having worked on shows from middle school productions to Broadway. A full list of our current show packages can be found at atoztheatrical.com. Need a custom creation? You got it. Our costume shop can design/sew/build/create something just for you.

Props and Scenery: We have a prop for nearly every scene of any show! And if we don’t? We can make it. Our scenic team has decades of experience to help you develop and execute ideas, from consultation and design through construction and installation. We will help to transform your artistic vision into a reality, so you can get the most out of your scenery for the budget you have available.
