Celebrated, Grammy-nominated legend Marilyn Maye comes to St. Louis to perform her musical tribute to her 76 record-setting appearances on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, the orginal King of Late Night.

Marilyn Maye was called a "Super-Singer" by Johnny Carson himself and 2025 marks the centennial of Carson’s birth. Marilyn returns to St. Louis for a don’t-miss-one-night-only musical tribute to her years singing for Johnny.
Maye has had audiences on their feet for nine decades and there simply is no singer of her stature performing today. She regularly sells out venues all around the country and in New York - including her 2023 sold-out triumph at Carnegie Hall! This spectacular evening will feature songs she sang on Carson’s Tonight Show, along with vintage video clips of Marilyn and Johnny during her many appearances with him. Presented by Max & Louie Productions and The Cabaret Project of St. Louis.

The Here to Pee Tour is an all-trans comedy tour going to all 50 states, raising funds to fight anti-trans bills, and teaming up with non-profits around the nation for the tour of the century.

Before Edwin Hubble and Stephen Hawking, there was Henrietta Leavitt. Silent Sky takes audiences on Leavitt’s real-life journey as one of Harvard Observatory’s female “human computers” at the turn of the 20th century. Working alongside the serious Annie Jump Cannon and quick-witted Williamina Fleming, Henri perseveres against professional bias and personal doubt in her pursuit of scientific discovery that will change our understanding of the universe forever. But as she seeks answers in the stars, can Henri also build a life for herself on Earth? A story of space, symphonies, science and self-determination, Silent Sky sheds light on Leavitt’s impactful life to remind us all how vast and beautiful this universe is.

Performing Arts Department alum Ellen Schaaf (MA 2025) returns to direct.
