A message from Melissa Meinzer

Shake off the winter blahs this weekend with laughter and music. The Saint Louis Art Museum has added a comedy series to Free Fridays, and it gets underway this week with Mia Jackson. Make a joyful noise while hoisting a brew or two at Das Bevo’s Beer Choir. Hair metal royalty Great White and Slaughter come through the River City Casino & Hotel. Resilience Dance Company presents Collective Realities, six world-premiere dance works. And the Ethical Society’s annual music festival promises to be a great time. Of course, that’s not to mention CITY SC’s season opener, the Purina Pet Parade in Soulard, Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Symphony at Stifel Theatre, and more. Stay safe, and have a great weekend!
