Off-Stage

Shakespeare Movie Weekend
MAY 19, 20 & 21 @ Shakespeare Glen
The rain may have damped the weekend but we still planned Shakespeare-inspired films in partnership with Cinema St. Louis with 10 Things I Hate About You starring Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, 1994’s The Lion King, based loosely on Hamlet, and the St. Louis-born Vincent Price’s Theatre of Blood, a camp horror-comedy in which a slighted Shakespearean actor (Price) seeks poetic and murderous revenge on his critics – killing them in the same ways made infamous by Shakespeare.
Shakespeare Night @ Busch Stadium
On May 24 fans with a special theme ticket took home a Shakespeare-themed Cardinals t-shirt. Plus, a portion of each ticket was donated back to us.
