Meet me in St. Louis is the name of the performance this year by the Saints on Stage. Mrs. Ergle decided to go with a comedy play this year since the Saints on Stage performance for the last two years has been a musical.
Meet me in St. Louis is a comedy based on the book by Sally Benson. It was adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel. The cast consists of seven male roles and nine female roles. What makes this play so special is that it captures a special moment in time and a particular moment in the lives of a real family, with fun, excitement and some broad comedy scenes that often stop the show with laughter.
Four attractive sisters are blazing with excitement over the wonderful World’s Fair that is about to open right there in St. Louis. The girls are also in a state about the love life of their only brother, whom they suspect is leaving his sweet hometown girl for a snob from the East. In the midst of the sisters’ humorous maneuvers to ruin their brother’s new romance, Father finally breaks in with his announcement. He’s been offered a better job in New York! This will mean leaving their home in St. Louis and missing the fair. At this, the girls unite for action. This should be a good play for our St. John Lutheran family to participate in and watch. Last year’s play Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory had much success and a great turnout, all fingers crossed that this year will be the same way. Don't forget to get your tickets, the play will be held April 28, 29, and 30.
