St Louis summer would not be complete without some MUNY magic or Shakespeare in the Park! Mark your calendar for some free or low cost options.

Winner of the 2025 Tony Award for best regional theater, the MUNY has an over 100 season long history of excellence in theater production. PRO TIP- line up for the free seats to see some awesome work for free next summer!
