St. Louis Actors' Studio, continuing its third season, is honored to participate in the Missouri History Museum's Performing Arts Series with A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS. Robert Bolt's classic Tony Award-winning play tells the true story of 16th century Chancellor of England Sir Thomas More. A religiously devout man of conscience, More objected to King Henry VIII's break from the Catholic Church - a decision that led to his prosecution.

Love and Honor take center stage in St. Louis Actor's Studio third season 2009-10 season includes something for everyone.

Good theatre makes you think, and Albee has given the audience a lot to chew on here. Issues concerning death and the ways in which we identify ourselves are keys to figuring it out, but don't expect to decipher it all, even Albee doesn't fully explain what he's getting at. At times, it's rather messy and convoluted, but THE LADY FROM DUBUQUE provokes a dialog, and that's truly the key to understanding it.

Three couples engage in Edward Albee?s trademark humorously wry, visceral banter at a party where the hostess happens to be dying. At the end of the first act a patrician woman claiming to be the dying woman?s mother arrives with a companion. Complications ensue. This is ?The Lady from Dubuque,? presented by Muddy Waters Theatre Company, June 12-28 at the Kranzberg Art Center in the Big Brother Big Sisters Building in Grand Center.
