Meet Me in St. LouisMyers Dinner Theatre

Wednesday, Oct. 17Murder at Café Noir Myers Dinner Theatre

This 1940’s detective story comes to life when Rick Archer, P.I. sets out to find the last person seen with the owner of the Café Noir, who was murdered and has washed ashore.

ONE DAY GETAWAYS

This spirited tale of a legendary, real-life American original follows the exploits of Molly Brown, whose feisty determination to rise above her impoverished beginnings leads her from the backwoods of Hannibal, Missouri, to the palaces of Europe. Along the way, she marries a lucky prospector, survives the sinking of the Titanic and, most importantly, earns the approval that she so desperately seeks.

$70.00 per person (Lunch Included)

The ‘Pump Boys’ sell high octane on Highway 57 in Grand Ole Opry country and the ‘Dinettes’ Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp diner next door. Together they fashion an evening of country western songs. With heartbreak and hilarity, they perform on guitars, piano, bass and, yes, kitchen utensils, accomplish the impossible and inspire many.


Based on the heartwarming film, Meet Me in St. Louis is a portrait of a turn-of-the-century American family. It is the summer of 1903, and the Smith family eagerly anticipates the opening of the 1904 World’s Fair. Over the course of a year, the family’s mutual respect, tempered with good-natured humor, helps them through romance, opportunity, and heartbreaks.
