The St. Louis Theatre Circle has announced their nominations for their annual awards to be distributed on March 23, 2026, at the Loretto-Hilton Center. 172 theatre artists have been nominated in 34 categories honoring the best in St. Louis Theater in 2025.
The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis leads all companies with a record-breaking 38 nominations for their productions of Athena, Clyde’s, Emma, Ken Ludwig’s Sherwood: The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Brothers Size, and The Cottage. Emma is the most nominated comedy of the season with 11 nominations.
The performances in The Wanderers are first rate, but it is Robert Quinlan’s expertly crafted, immersive, and precise storytelling that ensnares the audience. Anna Ziegler’s nonlinear bittersweet script is laced with humor and several unexpected turns. The conclusion may be a bit overwrought, but Quinlan’s vision, direction, and staging overcomes the too full ending.
New Jewish Theatre will present the St. Louis premiere of Anna Ziegler’s The Wanderers, winner of the San Diego Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Play, from September 11–28, 2025. See photos of the production.

Cinderella sings “I wish” as the opening lyric in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s INTO THE WOODS. I wish that every performance of the current production of INTO THE WOODS at The New Jewish Theatre could be seen by a sold-out house, and that they’d be forced to extend the run due to audience demand. It is just that good.

Robert Quinlan, a retired police officer and family man, has completed his new book 'Code 7 MBPD': a gripping book about the author's time working at the Manhattan Beach Police Department in Southern California. He was involved in some high-profile cases, including Charles Manson and the OJ Simpson pursuit.
Looking for Lilith Theatre Company kicks off their season with a revival of one of their oft-requested original shows, Class of '70, which hasn't been seen in Louisville since its premiere in 2004. Class of '70 is a powerful, fun, challenging play that celebrates the living history of women who came of age on college campuses during the second wave of feminism in the late 60's, based on the words of the women who lived it. During this time, a spirit of liberation gripped the youth of America, and movements such as the Civil Rights Movement and the protest of the war in Vietnam were flourishing. Women were very involved in these political movements, and through fighting to liberate others, women began to seek liberation for themselves. Inspired by the consciousness-raising groups of that time, who believed in the power of sharing stories, LFL collected stories about the exciting personal, social and political changes these women experienced. Audiences described the show as important, awesome, excellent and tremendous and in New York City and in Louisville they nodded their heads, laughed so hard they almost fell out of their chairs, shook their heads with sorrow, tapped their toes to the music and jumped to their feet at the end! Class of '70 is once again relevant as political and social dynamics clash with those freedoms and advances for which our mothers, aunts, and friends stood up. Dates and location:
