Kirkwood Theatre Guild

Kirkwood Theatre Guild Since 1931-a wonderful place to come and PLAY! Louis area. In 1931, they produced their first play, an English comedy, Tillie of Bloomsbury.

The Kirkwood Theatre Guild owes it success to a small group of dedicated individuals who were committed to a dream of having a thriving local community theatre in the St. Getting established proved to have many challenges, especially financial difficulties. The early participants were talented folk who performed, built sets, raised funds, and recruited their friends to come see their shows. KTG wa

s fortunate to have leadership with a vision, and the group persevered and grew each year. From 1931 to 1963 the Guild rented for its productions the hall at 310 East Argonne Drive. The original landlord was the Solari Guild, a local school for the arts, but later it was purchased by the American Legion. After outgrowing the space, KTG performed at Kirkwood High School and North Middle School. In 1968 the Guild was thrilled to call the new Robert G. Reim Theatre at the Kirkwood Community Center their new home. The Kirkwood Theatre Guild is one of the oldest, most established community theatre groups in the Midwest and one of the organizations with the longest record Kirkwood Historyof continuously producing plays. During its 79 years more than 292 shows have been produced. Thousands of gallons of paint have been used; hundred of lights have been positioned; many, many envelopes have been stuffed, and hundreds of costumes have been stitched, laundered and ironed. Thousands of volunteers have donated their gifts of time and talent in order to give our audiences the best of live entertainment. The Kirkwood Theatre Guild is proud of its history and thanks our audience for its continued support!

Arsenic and Old Lace:
a dark comedy about Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who discovers his seemingly sweet, elderly aunts are actually serial killers, having poisoned numerous lonely, old men with elderberry wine laced with arsenic. He struggles to manage his aunts and his insane family while navigating the chaos.

Play On!:
this is the hilarious story of a theatre group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance, in which anything that can go wrong, does. When the author decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theatre during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax and a thoroughly hilarious romp. Even the sound effects reap their share of laughter.

The Constant Wife:
a witty 1926 drawing-room comedy by W. Somerset Maugham, revolving around Constance Middleton, a wife who discovers her husband, John, is having an affair with her best friend. Instead of despairing, witty and pragmatic Constance reveals she is already aware, and ultimately secures her own financial independence and autonomy.

My Favorite Year:
follows Benjy Stone, a young 1954 TV sketch writer tasked with managing Alan Swann, a drunken, faded Hollywood idol appearing on a live variety show, leading to chaotic comedic and sentimental moments.
