        &quot;The Rocky Horror Show&quot; seems to enjoy an almost-perpetual run in Kansas City theaters, like its filmed version had through the &#145;80s at the Tivoli and Oak Park Mall. And it&#39;s back again at the Off Center Theatre in Crown Center, staged for the fifth time by Eubank Productions.

        The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art&#39;s decision to close on Tuesdays is only one measure the museum has taken to save money and reduce operating costs. In July, The museum cut back the lighting of the Bloch Building lenses by 14 hours per week.

        Joyce DiDonato has graced opera stages in Paris, Amsterdam, New York, Barcelona and Tokyo. She&#39;s even been a cover girl for &quot;Opera News,&quot; the popular journal that reports on singers and opera in the US and abroad. And on Friday night, the mezzo-soprano joined the Kansas City Symphony for the opening concert of the orchestra&#39;s Classical Series in the Lyric Theater.

        Laurie Anderson&#39;s new performance project &quot;Homeland&quot; is by turns insightful and facile, engaging and narcoleptically dull. It&#39;s an uneven and often maddening mix from a touchstone artist who&#39;s created transfixing mishmashes of inventive artpop in the past.
