Stacey Million, Starlight Theatre group sales manager, answers The Pitch‘s questionnaire

Name: Stacey Million

Occupation: Group sales manager, Starlight Theatre

Hometown: Birthplace of Designing Women, Poplar Bluff, Missouri

Current neighborhood: the Crossroads

What I do (in 140 characters): I bring corporate and family groups to Broadway performances at Starlight Theatre, KC’s iconic and beautiful outdoor event venue. I also get to work with some amazing young professionals through Starlight’s new Center Stage – Young Professionals of Starlight membership group.

What’s your addiction? Traveling, my Starbucks gold card, good books and happy people.

What’s your game? Scrabble

What’s your drink? Cider and the occasional vodka gimlet

Where’s dinner? Usually at home, but I love the Bristol, Kona Grill and Gates (especially when visitors are in town or I crave some delicious “turkey on bun”).

What’s on your KC postcard? An oversized collage of Kansas City’s gems, including Starlight Theatre, Union Station, KC Zoo, the Nelson-Atkins’ Shuttlecocks, the “K,” Powell Gardens, KC Museum, etc.

Finish this sentence: “Kansas City got it right … “ With the revitalization of the downtown/Crossroads area. When I worked downtown right out of college, it was a ghost town. The new businesses and renovations have totally changed the KC landscape!

“Kansas City screwed up when … “ It allowed its public schools to become unaccredited.

“Kansas City needs … “ A young professionals’ travel club.

“In five years, I’ll be … ” On a gorgeous beach in the Italian Riviera.

“I always laugh at … “ Anchorman and the picture of my pug’s “smelly pirate hooker” Halloween costume.

“I’ve been known to binge-watch … “ House of Cards, Breaking Bad and Downton Abbey.

“I can’t stop listening to … “ Brandi Carlile

“I just read … ” Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life From Dear Sugar; Start; and Mountains Beyond Mountains. Currently reading The Orchardist and rereading Eat, Pray, Love.

The best advice I ever got: Go with your gut.

Worst advice: Don’t worry about buying the incorrect train ticket in Paris – the conductors never check.

My sidekick: My 11-pound disabled pug, Manny

My dating triumph/tragedy: How much time do you have? I’ll tell you over a drink.

My brush with fame: Mixing and mingling with stars at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival, which I attended in support of my mentor’s new documentary, Bridegroom.

My 140-character soapbox: I have a love-hate relationship with my phone. While I love the convenience and quality photos/apps that smartphones offer, I think they disrupt genuine social interactions and seriously restrict the concept of living in the moment. And, yes, I write this as I’m checking my phone for updates.

My recent triumph: Introducing young professionals to Starlight Theatre through events like our ’80s after-party and Jason Mraz concert VIP passes. And, in July, I finally got to ride the Swan Boats in Boston’s Public Garden. That was a really good day.
