Devonshire Playhouse at the Skokie Heritage Museum presents!

Meet Me in St. Louis

Bring your lawn chair and blankets to see the outdoor performance of "Meet Me In St. Louis," presented by the Devonshire Playhouse and hosted outside the Skokie Heritage Museum!

Four attractive sisters are flush with excitement over the wonderful World's Fair that is about to open in their very own hometown of St. Louis. The girls are also in a state about the love life of their only brother, whom they suspect of ditching his sweet hometown girl for a snob from the East. In the midst of the sisters' humorous maneuvers to rule (or ruin) their brother's new romance, their father breaks in with his own announcement. He's been offered a better job in New York, which will mean leaving their home in St. Louis and missing the fair! At this news, the girls unite for action.
