Winners have been announced for the 2020 BroadwayWorld St. Louis Awards - which were back bigger than ever, celebrating the best in local theatre of the past decade! 

No fooling, April is upon us. It's already the second month of shelter-in-place and social distancing in St. Louis City and St. Louis County in this time of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, St. Louis Theatre Circle wasn't able to hold their 8th annual St. Louis Theater Circle Awards gala.

After careful deliberation, the multi-award-winning Tennessee Williams Festival St. Louis (TWSTL) finds it necessary to push their 5th Annual event to summer due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

The multi-award-winning Tennessee Williams Festival St. Louis proudly announces its Fifth Annual Festival for Thursday, May 7 through Sunday, May 17, 2020, headlining The Rose Tattoo.  A preview performance of the play is set  for Thursday, May 7, with May 8 as the oi??cial opening night. There will be more than a dozen separate elements, scheduled so that attendees may attend every one during  the eleven-day run, all held in the Grand Center Arts District and on The Hill.
