Local musical-comedy star takes over Tropical Sno franchise

It’s not unusual for actors and actresses in Kansas City to pick up side gigs: bartending, modeling, voice-over work, vocal lessons, selling Avon products and so on. One of the city’s best leading men has had a successful sideline business — cleaning homes — for years. Theater work can be sporadic, you know?

This weekend, actor-singer Seth Golay and his partner, Jason Kralicek (the managing director of the Unicorn Theatre), host the official grand opening of their new business: the only local franchise of the Utah-based Tropical Sno snow-cone stands. The venue is located in Martin City at 13416 Holmes, across from Jack Stack Barbecue.

On Saturday, they will be giving free snow cones away from 2 to 10 p.m.
