Join us at the Saint Louis Art Museum for another Groove in the Galleries! We hope to see you there.

🥂 Fond Farewell to Molly | Thursday, July 30 | 4:00 PM

Before our board meeting, please join us as we celebrate Molly and thank her for nearly four years of extraordinary service to Metro Theater Company.
Molly has played an integral role in advancing our mission, including her leadership of our partnership with the Saint Louis Art Museum and development of Baby Rave. While we'll certainly miss having her in the office every day, we're excited for her as she begins her new role as Managing Director at Kerfuffle Theater in Chicago. Fortunately for us, she'll continue supporting Metro remotely in a part-time capacity with our education and artistic departments.

💼 Board Meeting | Thursday, July 30 | 5:30 PM

🪩 Family Playdate: Back-to-School Rave! | Friday, August 7 | 4:30 PM
