Meet Me in St. Louis.
Theater-goers will travel back to the turn of the 20th century when the World’s Fair comes to St. Louis and change is afoot for the Smiths, a proud local family. The Smith children love their hometown and can’t wait to enjoy the fair. But will their father’s job offer in New York City upend their idyllic lives? The show is based on the 1944 Judy Garland movie and features such memorable songs as Skip to My Lou, The Boy Next Door and The Trolley Song. Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. July 18, 19, 25 and 26; 2 p.m. July 20 and 27. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors and $16 for students. M & M Stage is set to present Lil’ Abner. The company will bring Al Capp’s beloved cartoon characters off the page and onto the stage. This wild musical tale is a foot-stomping mix of hillbilly nonsense and sharp humor as the residents of Dogpatch have a run-in with the government that will tickle the funnybone. Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. Aug. 1, 2, 8 and 9; 2 p.m. Aug. 3 and 10 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors and $16 for students.
