Metro Theater Company Presents Delilah’s Wish

Delilah’s Wish, written and performed by Mariah L. Richardson, tells the story of eight-year old Delilah, who lives on the North Side of St. Louis in a neighborhood full of all kinds of people. Delilah doesn’t miss anything, but she sure does have questions about a lot of stuff. Richardson knows this neighborhood well - it’s where she grew up. Don’t miss this exciting new play celebrating a St. Louis neighborhood through the eyes of a young person. There will be also be a "Neighborhood Block Party" after each performance, so make sure to stay and enjoy this interactive and fun event.
Delilah’s Wish includes themes of community, neighborhoods, friendship, diversity, tolerance and acceptance and bullying prevention and links into school curriculums of language arts, social studies and character education.
