What we do
Summer Stock
When: Every Summer
Summer stock theatre, distant kin to the medicine shows of the 1800s and P.T. Barnum’s Traveling Circus, finds its origin at The Muny in St. Louis, MO. Since its birth summer stock theatre has served the dual purpose of providing a training ground for young performers and quality entertainment for the locals of rural towns to enjoy during the summer season. We present one show each summer to inspire, enlighten, and educate our community.
It’s A Wonderful Life
Did you hear that? Teacher says every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings! So after you buy your tickets, gather up your guardian angel, hop in your 1941 Ford Convertible, and drive straight to the Majestic Theatre for our biennial fundraiser (Guardian Angels drink for free). Our old pals at the WKAN studio perform It’s A Wonderful Life, The Radio Play in front of a live studio audience (that’s you, kid). Spoiler Alert: It truly is a wonderful life.
