Saint Louis Story Stitchers Artists Collective Presents The Why of My City

Celebrate Juneteenth with a new play by Saint Louis Story Stitchers, written by Mario Farwell and directed by Gregory S. Carr.

The story…Wanda, a young African American, returns to St. Louis after graduating high school.  She wants to explore opportunities, but Zoot Suit, a well-known gangster, entices her to come work for him. The community rallies to prevent Wanda from making a serious mistake and with the help of Scott Joplin, Madam CJ Walker, Cool Papa Bell and Tina Turner, they manage to save her from the clutches of Zoot Suit.
