Thu 3 May to Sat 2 Jun. An uproariously funny story of greed, corruption, love and revolution. A terrible water shortage has led to a government-enforced ban on public toilets. The Urine Good Company profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, an unlikely hero rises to lead a revolution to freedom.

Thu 3 May, 6 pm. 2006. USA. Directed by Robert Altman. Screenplay by Garrison Keillor. With Keillor, Kevin Kline, Virginia Madsen. Based on the public-radio variety show created and hosted by Keillor, Altman's last film is a fictional recounting of the radio program's last day on the air, when death literally comes calling in the form of Madsen. Complete with chaotic backstage scenes, classic radio gags and skits, and folk music duets, the film takes an intimate look inside the dying art of live radio variety shows. 105 min.

Thu 3 May, 7:30 pm. Written by Gary Richards. A widower reluctantly sells his business and home in Brooklyn and moves to Florida. In what he thought would be “God's waiting room”, he finds a world of new possibilities as single women flock to charm the new, available man. It is a story of rebirth, celebrating the richness of the mature life experience in a warmhearted comedy that clearly demonstrates - it's not how old you are, it's how you are old.

Thu 3 May, 8 pm. Margulies' Jewish Blithe Spirit is full of surprises. Opening at the end of shiva, the play is the story of grief-stricken dry-cleaner Mort, whose wife, Shirley, died the week before, after choking on a tough piece of moo shoo pork. His all-too-loving but increasingly less supportive family is telling him it’s time to get on with his life. Once Mort is left alone with his teenage son, Artie, the play begins to take its odd turns and continues to take every unexpected path imaginable. One of Margulies’ early plays, it is one of boldness and beauty from a playwright who has earned his position as one of the very best to emerge in our theatre. 2 Millstone Campus Drive, St. Louis, 63146.

Sun 6 May to Sun 20 May. This tour takes you to where the ancestors of most American Jews lived for seven centuries. Here, Ashkenazi Judaism flowered and Yiddish flourished in a world that perished a half-century ago in a convulsion of torment and horror so unspeakable it could only be described as a Holocaust. We’ll take you to ancient synagogues and Jewish museums. You’ll admire hamlets and castles that seem plucked from fairy tales. You’ll marvel at the grandeur of great cities. You’ll meet Europe’s Jews, young and old, members of thriving reborn communities. You’ll visit places called Auschwitz – Majadanek – Theresienstadt. Visits for which none of the books you’ve read, nor movies you’ve survived, nor museums where you cried, could adequately prepare you. Mike Enav, Tour Director, 212-879-4588. $4,695.

His all-too-loving but increasingly less supportive family is telling him it’s time to get on with his life. Once Mort is left alone with his teenage son, Artie, the play begins to take its odd turns and continues to take every unexpected path imaginable.
