Theatre isn't just something you watch--it's something you do.
For the Love of Theatre For the Joy of a Lifetime
When we’re not putting on a summer of shows, we’re hard at work inspiring the next generation of performers, producers and creators.

St. Louis High School Musical Theatre Awards (SLHSMTA)
with The Fabulous Fox and Fox Charitable Foundation

Our education programs have something for everyone—from stage builders to sound designers to ensemble performers.
Programs at The Muny teach students that the theatre is a great place to find a hobby or make a living. The skills and discipline they learn while participating in a Muny education program will serve them well in whatever career they pursue.
Through the generous support of the Crawford Taylor Foundation, The Muny has developed new arts education opportunities, and strengthened our existing programs, enabling us to improve overall programing under a single cohesive framework.
