Metro Theater Company

Everyone’s life story comes with its own soundtrack – the music that picks us up at our lowest moments and the songs that celebrate the biggest milestones we reach. For 10-year-old Bud in “Bud, Not Buddy,” presented by Metro Theater Company (MTC) and Jazz St. Louis, his inspiring story is set to the sounds of a live jazz band featuring some of the most accomplished artists in St. Louis. And for those kids willing to join him on his incredible journey of discovery, resilience and love, it’s an experience for the eyes and ears they’ll never forget.

In our technology-infused world where video games, TV and smartphones are vying for your children’s interest, live theater grabs their attention and holds on tight. When the stories they’re told help them make tough choices, connect to others, and learn how to navigate this topsy-turvy world we live in, it adds an extra level of excitement to each performance. Starting Sept. 18, Metro Theater Company will launch its 45^th season with three incredible plays to both entertain and inspire young theatergoers.

With A PLAYful Celebration: Toy Fest, Metro Theater Company (MTC), which creates professional theater for kids, has put to rest snooze-fest fundraisers and created a gala straight out of our wildest imaginations. With Toy Fest, parents and kids alike can enjoy non-stop fun from dinner through dancing, and best of all, help support award-winning programs that treat kids to the best in children’s theater.

When all of the holiday madness gets to be too much this December, take a breather by taking in a remarkable show with your favorite kiddos. Beginning Dec. 5, Metro Theater Company will present a new family favorite, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane at the Missouri History Museum. Following the adventures of a toy rabbit who longs to return to the little girl who loves him, this magical fairy tale and modern American classic is the perfect holiday gift to share with your little theater fans.
