The Arts

Originally built as a movie palace to showcase the films of the Fox Film Corporation, the Fabulous Fox Theatre was renovated in 1981 to become our marvellous showcase for the performing arts. The Fox offers both discount season tickets and $30 Student Rush tickets to some of the best touring Broadway shows. With the magic of St. Louis and The Fox, living on a student budget means that you too can afford to see Hamilton!

Here in St. Louis, we have the privilege of easy access to an absolutely top-notch symphony orchestra. Whether you go see the symphony for free in Forest Park, or for $10 (student tickets!) in gorgeous downtown Powell Hall, you will be sure to have a transformative classical music adventure. Bonus perk — if you come on the right day, you might get to see me perform in the chorus!

Having moved to St. Louis in January before the first year of medical school started, I was lucky enough to experience the 99th summer season of the Municipal Theater in all its glory. The Muny is a large outdoor musical theater in Forest Park with over 100 free seats and many more affordable paid seats available for each show, all performed by professional acting troupes. I implore you to check it out if and when you get the chance!!!
