The Little Dog Laughed Grandel Theatre |
Thu., November 20 |
St. Louis - Grand Center |
|
Mitchell Green is Hollywood's next big thing. Easy on the eyes and genuinely charming, he's the sort of romantic leading man for which a nation yearns. His only drawbacks — and these are slight, mind you — are his occasional flare-ups of homosexuality. Mitchell's fortunate to have... More >> |

Science Café: "Sustainability: Finding Your Way Forward" Monarch |
Thu., November 20 |
Maplewood |
|
Green as a color in nature shows lushness and renewal. Green as a recycling concept is a great idea. But green as a buzzword is less awesome — everyone's going around and saying practically everything is green, and that just can't be true! To find some clarity on the matter, it's best to...

Sonny Landreth Blueberry Hill |
Thu., November 20, 9:00pm |
Delmar/The Loop |
|
Sonny Landreth is a mind-boggling guitar player. While steeped in the blues -- he attacks a resonator guitar with punishing speed -- the 57-year-old also knows how to make the metal box moan and quiver with a Louisiana natives instinct for drawl and funky glide and slide. The last thing... More >> |

Earlier this year, artist Richard Serra lamented the decline in art appreciation thanks to the digital age.

Battle of the Champions Subterranean Books |
Daily from Fri., November 14 until Sun., January 11 |
Delmar/The Loop |
|
Pat Benatar once taught us that love is a battlefield, and while she was so, so right, it appears that in the world of competitive poster-making, love is a boxing ring. At least that's the setting selected at Subterranean Books (6275 Delmar Boulevard, University City), as Subby hosts a dual art... More >> |

Daily from Thu., November 20 until Sun., November 23 |

Peter's a Gulf War vet — the first Gulf War, not the current one. He's drifting through Oklahoma City when he's introduced to Agnes, a waitress with an abusive ex-husband and a cocaine habit. This broken and wounded pair finds comfort in each other's arms, and maybe something more. And,... More >> |

Menopause the Musical Roberts Orpheum Theater |
Daily from Wed., November 19 until Sun., November 23 |
St. Louis - Downtown |
|
As Ms. Day is a lady, she will not discuss her age. All she can say is that one day, she will have to experience what some have the civility to call "the change." And she feels there's no time like the present to prepare for such an event, no matter how far in the distant future it may be. Of... More >> |

St. Louis - Forest Park |
|
After World War II, American artists emerged as leaders of a new direction in art, not followers of the old ways.

University City |
|
From the 1950s to the mid-1960s, it seemed like everything and everyone in California was cool: Pierre Koenig and others were designing airy case-study homes, and Charles and Ray Eames' sleek furniture looked gorgeous in those types of spaces; painters including Karl Benjamin were creating...

Eva Lundsager: New Works Greenberg Van Doren Gallery |
Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Thu., October 23 until Fri., December 12 |
St. Louis - Midtown |
|
Some of the most long-lasting art makes its mark through gentle, subjective interpretations of a scene instead of direct representation. For artist Eva Lundsager, the use of allusion and simile is crucial to her painting. Lundsager's watercolor and oil paintings work by suggestion rather than... More >> |

Persuasive Politics: Presidential Campaign Memorabilia Saint Louis University-Museum of Art |
Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., September 5 until Sun., December 21 |
St. Louis - Midtown |
|
In retrospect, why was Richard Milhouse Nixon electable? Kennedy drank his milkshake in the 1960 election, and his hangdog expression and dour nastiness didn't improve with time. The answer is obvious: Nixon looked fantastic as a cartoon character. His campaign team capitalized on this with a... More >> |

Sharks Saint Louis Science Center-OMNIMAX |
Daily from Mon., November 3 until Thu., March 5 |
St. Louis - Forest Park |
|
Shark fans have very few requirements for a good movie. One, make sure the title of the film gives some sense of the shark's role in the proceedings. Two, give us lots of sharks.
