The Magic House (516 South Kirkwood Road, Kirkwood; 314-822-8900 or www.magichouse.org) is always fun for kids. As an adult, however, it can leave one wanting; at some point, most grown-ups wish they could have a crack at that electro-static generator without having to dodge all the kids. Tonight's the night when that idle fancy becomes a reality, as the Magic House hosts an Adult Play Date... Read more about this event >>

Local comic-book creators Mike McCubbins and Matt Bryan have been friends for fifteen years and have many joint projects to show for their professional relationship. In addition to their comics anthology, Mixed Feelings (now in its fifth issue), are hours of animation, several albums from their musical endeavors and now their dazzling new hardcover graphic novel, Book of Da. Book of Da is a... Read more about this event >>

w/ The Baptist Generals - Once the purveyor of boombox anti-heroism, John Darnielle has settled into richer sonic territory with a fuller sense of what it means to be the leader of a great rock band. But he hasn't lost the Mensa intelligence, the thrill of high and low culture and the avenging whine of his voice, quick as a whip, tender as the skin it strikes. The outcasts who populate...

Grisaille is an old painting technique whereby the artist creates a piece using only one color (traditionally), with additional hues sometimes used to enhance important bits as needed. St. Louis painter Jo Jasper Dean begins with a grisaille in red for her current exhibition, Drunk on Color -- High Voltage Oil on Canvas, and then cranks up the works by laying down super-saturated layers of...

There is no greater rule than that of king. Ha, just kidding! The greatest of Shakespeare's tragedies, King Lear, proves this thought to be quite a lark. Lear is not in charge of much of anything; neither his kingdom, his daughters' love for him, nor his own physical abilities. His two eldest daughters, Goneril and Regan, divide the responsibility of caring for him, which in their tender... Read more about this event >>

Ten years ago Stray Dog Theatre staged its first show, John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation. The company remounts the play to cap its first decade of work, and to point the way towards the next ten years. Six Degrees follows the colliding lives of two New York couples, the ritzy Kittredges and the closer-to-the-bone Rick and Elizabeth. The man causing the colliding is Paul, a con man who...

If you only know The Wiz from the movie starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, you haven't really experienced The Wiz. Charlie Smalls and William F. Brown's Tony-winning musical is a far cry from Joel Schumacher's screen adaptation. Dorothy starts in Kansas, ends up in Oz and joins forces with a cowardly lion, a tin man without a heart and a no-brains-having scarecrow in order to get back... Read more about this event >>

Charles Bukowski was a hard-drinkin', casual womanizing, blue collar product of Los Angeles between the two world wars. His sizable body of work is rife with drunken parties, blurry moments of rage and a strong romantic streak for women he's loved and lost, as well as a deeply personal distaste for the workaday world he left behind when he pursued a career as a writer and poet. So of course,... Read more about this event >>

w/ Good For You, Ultraman - Black Flag is one of the most revered bands of the punk era, thanks in part to its trademark tempo shifts, unadorned raw aggression and brilliant internationally recognizable quad bar logo. And though the band is well-loved by the masses, its current tour is not without controversy. Black Flag has had many personnel changes since it was first founded in 1976, and...

w/ Yowie, Xaddax, Lovely Little Girls, Decent Al Johnson - From "Meet the 2013 RFT Music Award Nominees: Yowie": The elusive, brain-bending Yowie hides away in St. Louis to build on singular forms of progressive music. Yowie plays a dense foreign language through two guitars which communicate in an angry, six-string banter through strictly scattered drums. This power trio speaks in alien code...

You will not see the finished project at the opening reception for Hap Phillips and Nita Turnage: We See Saw art installation at 6 p.m. Friday, June 21, in the Millstone Gallery at the Center of Creative Arts (524 Trinity Avenue, University City; 314-725-6555 or www.cocastl.org). What you will see is an idea machine being switched on. Phillips and Turnage, founders of the recurring Artica... Read more about this event >>

Of all William Shakespeare's plays, none have proven more durable than his romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet, because star-crossed lovers from rival families resonate in any age. The Riverside Shakespeare Theatre Co. updates the play slightly by recasting the Montagues and Capulets as America's most famous feuding families, the Hatfields and McCoys -- and they're fixin' to let the whole dern...

Is there any phrase more fraught with possibility than "you wanna see something?" Anything could follow those words -- they are the herald of the unexpected. And so for a second year running, the St. Louis Fringe Festival returns to ask, "You wanna see something?" Just say yes and prepare yourself for five days of dance theater, improv comedy, puppet shows and eight-bit musical theater, all... Read more about this event >>

Honestly, is there anything Huey Lewis can’t (or won’t) do? The man went to Cornell University, sued the guy who sang the Ghostbusters theme, became synonymous with Back to the Future, raised money for Tony LaRussa’s needy animals, acted in a karaoke movie with Gwyneth Paltrow, and with the News had nineteen top-ten singles across the Billboard charts in the '80s and '90s....

From this 2012 write-up: Humdrum hasn't skipped a beat since guitarist Gareth Schumacher left the mercurial Midwest weather for the sun-glazed coasts of California. It has been recording an album with Steve Albini and mixing it with Jay Pellicci at San Francisco's Tiny Telephone studios. Aside from polishing that, its third LP, the band is still an active live presence in St. Louis. Its... Read more about this event >>

It's the last concert of the season for the Gateway Men's Chorus, but don't worry -- they're not leaving without throwing one last musical party. Celebrate!, which is performed at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday (June 21 and 22) at the Edison Theatre on Washington University's campus (6465 Forsyth Boulevard; www.gmcstl.org), is a show that honors the LGBT community and love itself. Featuring songs... Read more about this event >>

Humans are social creatures, capable of working together and sharing ideas and inspiration, even when working toward different ends. Artists Ryan Johnson, Johannes VanDerBeek and Sara VanDerBeek are friends, studio mates and (in two instances) siblings. Each has their own interests and purposes for making art, but their proximity (both physical and emotional) results in concepts migrating... Read more about this event >>

Frederic is stuck in a job he hates, just like so many other idealistic people in their twenties. There's hope for him yet though -- when he turns 21, he'll be released from his current job and able to pursue his dreams. The big day arrives and he leaves to find his destiny. In short order he meets a great girl and plans to settle down with her, but she's the last of many daughters, all of... Read more about this event >>

In Jacques Rivette's French new-wave thriller Le Pont du Nord, Rivette regular Bulle Ogier stars as a claustrophobic ex-con who encounters a young, self-proclaimed kung-fu expert who is inexplicably driven to slash the eyes from the faces of Paris' billboards. The two women attempt to piece together a meaning behind the contents of a mysterious suitcase, packed with odd clippings, patterns... Read more about this event >>

There's a lot going on in the St. Louis art scene, and in more places than in the obvious strongholds of Washington Avenue or along Cherokee Street.

Open Studios STL: West of Grand Boulevard invites you to tour the studios, galleries and alternative art spaces... Read more about this event >>

w/ Guards - From this 2012 show preview: Portugal. the Man gravitates toward dank psychedelic pop jams, and its members have hair both long and unwashed enough to make Fleet Foxes look trim. Yet beneath this hippy exterior, the band's story reads like a classic tale of punk-rock triumph. The obstacles were daunting, its members having hailed from the inconvenient state of Alaska and its name... Read more about this event >>

Kelly Kaduce starred in five operas in six years for Opera Theatre of St. Louis, but she hasn't appeared here since her 2009 turn as Salome. Her star has continue to rise in the opera world, so OTSL is fortunate to have Kaduce back for Ruggero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci. Kaduce stars as Nedda, the wife of the clown Pagliacci. Their marriage -- and the family act -- is threatened by Nedda's... Read more about this event >>

From the outside, the red-and-white tent on the Powell Hall parking lot looks like -- well, a tent. It's attractive enough, as tents go. But inside that tent, that's where the magic is. The very air is different. It reeks of sawdust and daring. Has another year passed already? Apparently so, because Circus Flora -- which only blooms in June -- is back, eager as ever to beguile, delight and... Read more about this event >>

Can you live a moral, upstanding life as a crusader for justice and still end up forgotten by everyone you help? In the case of Bayard Rustin, it seems to be a distinct possibility. Rustin fought antisemitism, protected the rights of Japanese Americans interned by the U.S. in World War II, worked with Gandhi in India and then used his wealth of organizational knowledge and pacifism to help...

w/ Teen - From this 2011 show preview: The distribution of power for the sibling band the Fiery Furnaces has long been simplified thusly: Older bro Matthew Friedberger writes the lyrics and wrangles the serpentine arrangements, and little sis Eleanor Friedberger delivers the lines with a dorkily unflappable charisma. So when Eleanor's solo record Last Summer was released this year, it was... Read more about this event >>

After playing the Frankenstein Monster and Dracula, Christopher Lee wrapped himself up in another monstrous role, playing Kharis in 1959's The Mummy for Hammer Studios. Lee refrained from putting on the bandages for any of Hammer's subsequent Mummy movies, but thanks to his booming baritone-bass voice, Lee returned to ancient Egypt half a century later as narrator for IMAX's Mummies: Secret...

Throughout history, beauty has been idealized in the fine arts, and anything less is discarded at best and loathed at worst. In particular, ugliness (as opposed to homeliness or commonness, which are at least somewhat acceptable) was and often still is associated with notions of evil, worthlessness and lacking in any positive attributes. The Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum's new show, Ugly: An... Read more about this event >>

The last readers saw of attorney Rachel Gold, she was about to get hitched. When Michael Kahn's new novel, The Flinch Factor, catches up to her, she's a widowed mother who's thrown herself into the Frankenstein Case, a hopelessly mired lawsuit pitting a working-class neighborhood against developers intent on building a gated community on top of them. The seemingly unconnected case of a... Read more about this event >>

w/ Nifty Breed - For the love of God, bring earplugs, because Fumer delivers hard-edged rock through a blisteringly loud wall of speakers. The guitar stays tied tight to straight-laced beats and pummels with a harsh dirge. Punchy bass lines keep the affair grounded in grunge, but Fumer's clever take on beaten genres invokes familiar bands filtered through a noisy mesh. Fumer, at first glance,...

Perhaps because mummies are endlessly fascinating, all other aspects of ancient Egyptian culture -- which is rich and vast -- are often overlooked. The Saint Louis Science Center's new exhibit, Lost Egypt, features artifacts that make Egypt's past seem not so distant. Objects that were used in everyday life play a prominent role in the exhibition, offering the opportunity to see how Egyptians... Read more about this event >>

He's big, he's green and he's mighty unclean. Despite all that (or maybe because of it?) the kids love Shrek, the surly ogre who just wants a little peace and quiet in his swamp. Instead, the big lug ends up going abroad, making friends with a real ass and finding someone who loves him for who he is. Oh, and there's also a boatload of songs about life, love and the importance of letting your... Read more about this event >>

When most young 'uns think of ol' Patsy Cline, their minds no doubt turn to her hit song "Crazy," and maybe then to a weak karaoke rendition that a friend drunkenly unleashed upon the world. Of course, Nashville's fair lady was so much more than that song -- she was a mother, a beloved performer and a dear friend.

Color, or lack thereof, is a constant contemplation in all works of art. Artists often have complicated relationships with and views on the presence of each hue, and American sculptor and painter Donald Judd certainly considered elements of color throughout his 40-plus-year career. His later pieces showcase his thoughtful exploration of the "multiplicity" of color, as he called it, and in the... Read more about this event >>

Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone's 1776 dared to go where no other musical would: inside Independence Hall in the propitious year of 1776, when our nation's forefathers were arguing, bickering and occasionally fist-fighting about the issue of declaring independence from England. At the center of the fighting is John Adams, who is a vocal proponent of independence but also supremely unlikable,... Read more about this event >>

The minute Roland Johnson walks onstage for his semi-regular gig at Beale on Broadway, you know you're seeing a performer. The man drips charisma; all the way through his white leisure suit and down to his polished shoes. He can do the James Brown, the Sam & Dave, the Bobby "Blue" Bland, the Otis Redding, and he does them all, no matter how familiar, no matter how many times he's sung them,...
