**“I Do, I Do” at Stages St. Louis

This intimate musical follows one couple through fifty years of love, quarrels and marriage. The show begins with Michael and Agnes on their wedding day.

Their vows behind them, they look forward to spending the rest of their lives together. We watch as they go through their wedding night jitters, raise a family and negotiate midlife crises. Michael eventually admits to his infidelity, and, although Agnes is angered by his actions, she forgives him and the couple reconciles, rediscovering how much they really need each other. Then, after 50 years of marriage, the couple leaves their house to the next pair of newlyweds. This touching story of two soul-mates navigating the peril of life is set to a tuneful, charming score. Following the show will be a delicious dinner at Tucker’s Place.

WREATH WORKSHOP (ALL AGES)

Instead of paying for expensive wreaths at a store, come and enjoy a crafty evening with us! All supplies will be provided and each participant will create their very own wreath to display at their home. These wreaths, or even the class itself, make for a great gift idea as well! Participants 15 or younger must have a parent/guardian present to help assist.

Wreath designs are subject to change but the theme will remain the same theme.
