This self-guided exhibit explores how freedom in the United States has evolved since 1776 through historical documents and images from the Gilder Lehrman Collection.

Each summer, Crestview Country Club opens its doors to welcome the Wichita Open. Crestview Country Club, founded in 1921, moved to its present location in 1969 and is the only 36-hole country club in Kansas. Both courses were designed by the legendary golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones.

The Wichita Open enters its 37th year and will be played on Crestview’s North Course, which carries a slope of 131 and a 74.3 course rating from the black tees. This course, measuring 6,913 yards, is a very good test.

Perhaps the most memorable and famous feature of the Wichita Open is the Michelob Ultra Corner located at the 17th green, featuring VIP chalets and a unique festive atmosphere. Each day the 17th green chalets draw 3,000 to 4,000 spectators a day.

Tournament Play begins at approximately 7:00am and ends between 5:00 and 6:00pm on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, play begins around 7:00am and ends between 3:00 and 4:00pm.

After somehow selling out our debut show and most of our May run, ICT Sketch Comedy has decided to push our luck one more time.

Join Ryan Schafer, Alex Taylor, Paige Lauer, Mike Whalen, Keysa McMillan, Jamie Krueger, Abi Herrera, and Justin Whittaker for our final shows before we take a break until the fall. This all-new show features a completely original lineup of brand-new sketches written by the cast—no reruns, no greatest hits, just fresh material that somehow survived the writers' room.

Expect the same weird, smart, locally rooted, and slightly unhinged comedy you've come to expect. Catch ICT Sketch Comedy at Flying Pig Improv on June 26 and June 27!

Doors open at 8:45. Parking and entrance on North side of building.
