The Theatre Guild of Webster Groves

The Theatre Guild of Webster Groves has been providing community theatre to the STL area since 1926. We have been providing community theatre to the St.

Louis area since 1926. Prior to 1952, The Guild staged monthly one-act productions at the Monday Club, and three-act productions on the Webster Groves High School stage every two to three three months. In 1951, the Guild purchased the building at 517 Theatre Lane in Webster Groves. We have been staging performances there since 1952. Our building received historical landmark status on November 5th

, 2013 by the Webster Groves City Council. We run five productions per season, one every two months, beginning in September, and finishing in May. We also have holiday and summer fundraising shows. Our auditions are always open; we do not pre-cast. We are always looking for enthusiastic and talented people who want to be involved in the many aspects of putting on a show, weather it be on stage or behind the scenes. Because our theatre is located in an older building we are not wheelchair or handicap accessible. The Guild has a total of 31 steps, including the steps outside.

Alice In Wonderland (Youth Production) by Brainerd Duffield based on the story by Lewis Carroll

Alice plunges down the rabbit hole and becomes involved in that madcap and deliciously satiric series of adventures immortalized by Lewis Carroll. Dramatized as a series of fourteen episodes from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, this play is a kaleidoscope of action and madness, with the necessary elements of suspense and frustration to make it all work.

The Theatre Guild of Webster Groves is excited for our final weekend of Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson returning to the stage TONIGHT!

When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. In her free time, as Henrietta attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love.

The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them.

* REMAINING PERFORMANCE DATES: May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
- Shows are at 7:30pm, Sunday matinees are at 2:00pm.
* LOCATION: 517 Theatre Lane, Saint Louis, MO 63119
