Robert Pollard's Boston Spaceships The Bluebird Fri., October 10, 8:00pm St. Louis - Midtown
It's a fair guess that Robert Pollard named his latest project Boston Spaceships in honor of the bubble-domed spacecraft emblazoned on the front of the first two albums by arena-rock gods Boston. And while Pollard never wrote anything as anthemic as "More Than a Feeling" when he led Guided By... More >>

St. Louis Fashion Week: Liquid Style Lumiere Place Fri., October 10 St. Louis - Riverfront
My fellow Americans: Am I qualified to write anything about Saint Louis Fashion Week's Liquid Style show? Well...I've been wearing the same black jeans for two straight months.

Planetarium Star Parties Saint Louis Science Center-McDonnell Planetarium Second Friday of every month from Fri., April 11 until Fri., October 10 St. Louis - Forest Park
Whenever the words "free" and "stars" are paired together, it's time to pay attention. However on Friday, April 11, at the Saint Louis Science Center's James S.

Late in June of 1948, the Soviets cut off all ground and water access to Berlin in a Cold War stare-down. The plan was to starve the city so that it would be wholly dependent on the Soviet Union.

From the 1950s to the mid-1960s, it seemed like everything and everyone in California was cool: Pierre Koenig and others were designing airy case-study homes, and Charles and Ray Eames' sleek furniture looked gorgeous in those types of spaces; painters including Karl Benjamin were creating...

Dave Stone Trio Mangia Italiano Every week Friday St. Louis - South Grand
Thanks in large part to his weekly stint at Mangia Italiano, saxophonist Dave Stone is something of a south-side saint, a bespectacled hero of the horn and a favorite of South Grand dwellers. While this has helped make him known around town, it's also made him easy to ignore. That would be a... More >>

Great Godfrey Maze Robert E. Glazebrook Park Every week Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., September 5 until Sun., October 26 Grafton/Godfrey/Alton

Hair Washington University South Campus Theatre Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Wed., October 8 until Sat., October 18 Clayton
In the 1960s, Hair was introduced to an audience steeped in political and moral resistance.

The Lieutenant of Inishmore Grandel Theatre Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Wed., September 17 until Sun., October 12 St. Louis - Grand Center
Padraic, too bloodthirsty and wild for the IRA's liking, is a free-range terrorist who keeps himself busy torturing people and setting off bombs in Northern Ireland.

The Light Project Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts Daily from Thu., September 4 until Fri., October 17 St. Louis - Grand Center
If you're wont to sneak into Grand Center by the westerly route, you've no doubt noticed the burnt shell of the Spring Avenue Church.

Lutz Bacher: Spill is the first-ever solo exhibition by this prolific artist, which is surprising considering she first gained notice with her document collage piece The Lee Harvey Oswald Interview in 1976.

Mary Sprague: Trees Duane Reed Gallery Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., September 12 until Sat., October 18 Clayton
Trees often get lost in the landscape — in fact, they usually go completely unnoticed until they're gone. And even when we do pay attention to them, we see each of these woody plants as a whole rather than as the sum of its parts: That cluster of leaves provides us shade, but we don't... More >>

Persuasive Politics: Presidential Campaign Memorabilia Saint Louis University-Museum of Art Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., September 5 until Sun., December 21 St. Louis - Midtown
In retrospect, why was Richard Milhouse Nixon electable? Kennedy drank his milkshake in the 1960 election, and his hangdog expression and dour nastiness didn't improve with time. The answer is obvious: Nixon looked fantastic as a cartoon character. His campaign team capitalized on this with a... More >>
Primal The Chapel Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., October 9 until Sat., October 18 Clayton
