Side By Side Theatre & Music
Side by Side Theatre & Music is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2001, initially with the goal of keeping Summer Chorus funded when K-State needed to close the program.
Flint Hills Masterworks Chorale has been a program of Side by Side since 2023.
A new program of Side by Side is The Actors Theatre, now offering theatrical presentations e.g. at retirement homes as a community service.
We also offer video recordings of school presentations.
FHMC's Summer Chorus focuses on shorter works and more varied music that has included e.g. PDQ Bach, a Beatles medley and a Cole Porter medley. In 2024, nearly 50 singers sang in the group, the largest summer session since 2001. The choir performed at Meadowlark Hills retirement community.
Conductors have included Reg Pittman and Pamela Kempton. Pianists have included Bill Wingfield, Amanda Arrington and SongHwa Chae.
For eight years, from 1997 to 2005, Side by Side organized an annual “from scratch” performance of Handel’s Messiah, with a chorus of community members and K-State students and faculty singing the solos.
