Saint Louis Ballet presents an extraordinary triple bill celebrating the brilliance of musicality, choreographic innovation, and stylistic range. From the jazzy exuberance of Take Five…More or Less by Broadway legend Susan Stroman, to the striking modernism and classical depth of George Balanchine’s The Four Temperaments, and the elegant precision of his Divertimento No. 15 set to Mozart’s luminous score—this program offers a dynamic journey through rhythm, emotion, and the timeless beauty of ballet.

North America's largest interactive comedy murder mystery dinner theatre show is now playing in St. Louis, MO! Solve a hilarious true crime murder mystery while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The culprit is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect before you know it!

Join us for an event that is very different from a traditional mystery dinner show. Our actors are not dressed in costume and are hidden in the audience! This results in a fun, social and interactive evening suitable for all adults.

Each ticket includes our signature award-winning mystery dinner theatre show, along with a full plated dinner, waitstaff gratuity, and plenty of surprises during the show.

Union Avenue Opera extends its offerings into the fall with the debut of its One-Act Festival, running October 10 and 11 at 7:30 PM and October 12 at 3:00 PM. This exciting new venture features bold contemporary works in an intimate setting, offering audiences a unique opportunity to experience compact, powerful storytelling from emerging and established composers.

The evening features two powerful chamber operas based on this year’s them of Exploring Identity and Injustice through Opera:

dwb (driving while black) – A gripping one-woman opera exploring the emotional tension, fear, and love of a Black mother raising a son in America. Through music and monologue, it paints a portrait of parenting under the constant threat of racial injustice. Music by Susan Kander with a libretto by Roberta Gumbel.

As One – A groundbreaking chamber opera for two voices and string quartet that follows the journey of a transgender protagonist from youth to adulthood in a deeply personal and moving coming-of-age story. Music and concept by Laura Kaminsky with libretto by Kimberly Reed.

These works offer a bold and intimate evening of opera that speaks urgently to our time. With themes of identity, vulnerability, and the search for understanding, this festival invites audiences into a space of empathy, reflection, and transformation. The 2025 One-Act Festival is made possible by a grant from the Employees Community Fund of Boeing St. Louis and the Whitaker Foundation.

A Pulizter Prize-Winning Play by Lynn Nottage

This stunning play exposes the devasting impact of the loss of industry in America’s Rust Belt, circa 2000. Based on actual interviews with residents of Reading, Pennsylvania, Lynn Nottage brings her breathtaking storytelling to characters and situations that have become too common in the heart of America. At the local hangout for factory workers, resentment explodes when one of the regulars gets a promotion and delivers the news that the factory is cutting jobs and wages by 60%. A strike is imminent. Sides are taken. As friendship gives way to betrayal, an act of violence changes everything forever. (Approximate Run Time: 90 mins)
