Ozzie and Nikko Smith Borders Books & Music-Creve Coeur	Sat., April 19	Creve Coeur	Sports, Literary Events
St. Louisans love a few things unequivocally: Chuck Berry, complaining about the humidity, and Ozzie and Nikko Smith . The back flips and stellar fielding of Papa Smith? Awesome. The great voice and handsomeness of Nikko? Fantastic. Fortunately for you true locals out there, you can catch both Smiths at... More>>

Vicars and Tarts Party Koken Art Factory	Sat., April 19	St. Louis - South Grand	See/Be Seen, Miscellaneous Performance, Drink Me, Art Exhibits
Some British fads catch on in America (see: the Beatles); some don't (see: marmite). Will English-style Vicars and Tarts parties generate a Beatle-esque response that leads to a national mania for gatherings where women dress as lecherous clergymen and men dress as promiscuous women? Only if we all work... More>>

Grand South Grand House & Garden Tour Tower Grove Park	Sat., April 19 (more dates/times)	St. Louis - Tower Grove	Tours, Drink Me

Italian Film Festival Washington University-Brown Hall	Every week Friday, Saturday from Fri., April 4 until Sat., April 19	University City	Film & Video
Now in its fourth year, the Italian Film Festival celebrates Italian-made movies (duh) that illustrate the unique nature of modern Italian life: Passionate, neurotic, charming and unpredictable, much like a Roberto Benigni Oscar acceptance speech.

aTrek Dance Collective's Choreography & Cocktails Centene Center for Arts & Education	Daily from Thu., April 17 until Sun., April 20	St. Louis - Grand Center	See/Be Seen, Drink Me, Dance
If you define "choreography" very loosely, the somewhat-nocuous combination of dance and drink that occurs every weekend in nightclubs across the land could perhaps count as such. Yet all of that off-balance bumping and grinding pales in comparison to what will go down this weekend at the Centene Center... More>>

The Comic Book Killer! Lemp Mansion Restaurant & Inn	Every week Friday, Saturday from Fri., January 11 until Sat., April 26	St. Louis - Soulard/Benton Park	Dinner Theater
There's a mystery afoot in the Soulard area, and it ain't the case of Who Stole the Mardi Gras Beads? — that would be disastrous this time of year! But the unsolved crime of The Comic Book Killer! is just as important. You see, the Evil Doctor Weevil has decided he wants to obliterate both the... More>>

Mary's Wedding Third Baptist Church	Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., April 4 until Sun., April 20	St. Louis - Grand Center	Theater
Think back to your first love. Man, it was intense, wasn’t it? A little silly and trite at times perhaps, but those feelings were powerful, if not eternal. When Mary and Charlie were young like you once were, they met and were bitten by the love bug not long after, despite having different backgrounds... More>>

Project Improv St. Louis: Super-Form Improv Tower Grove Abbey	Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., April 17 until Sat., April 26	St. Louis - Midtown	Theater

Last year’s Munny Show at Star Clipper Comics (6392 Delmar Boulevard, University City; 314-725-9110) was a crowd-spilling-into-the-streets, DJ-shaking-the-walls affair that would be hard to top — except that this year’s Munny Show is also Star Clipper’s 20th anniversary party. So, yeah:... More>>

Theatre Guild of Webster Groves: At This Evening's Performance Theatre Guild of Webster Groves	Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., April 18 until Sun., April 27	Webster Groves	Theater
Something is amiss at the Theatre Guild of Webster Groves' latest production. Rumors of a conspiracy swirl the corridors. Even the play's title, At This Evening's Performance — a mere prepositional phrase — gives way to suspense and general fill-in-the-blank forebodingness. The... More>>

Young Artists Showcase St. Louis Artists' Guild	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sun., March 16 until Sat., May 3	Clayton	Art Exhibits
There's always hand-wringing over the loss of the arts in our school systems, but consider this: If you're a high schooler who dreams of a career in medicine, do you have an outlet for your passion now?
