STAGES Theatre + The Black Madonna Shrine August 3, 2016 On our way to the theatre we’ll visit The Black Madonna Shrine in Pacific, constructed in 1938 by Brother Bronislaus, a Polish Native, of the Franciscan order. The shrine is dedicated to The Black Madonna of Czestochowa and the image is referred as the Black Madonna because of its dark brown skin tones. Walkways from an open-air chapel lead to seven grottos made of barite rock from Old Mines, Mo., with some sea shells, costume jewelry, even cupcake molds mixed in through imagination and inspiration. At STAGES Theatre in Kirkwood, you will see one of their most frequently requested shows, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE – a musical taking place when a die-hard musical theatre fan plays his favorite cast album and the characters come to life. The characters appear in his dingy apartment, and it is transformed into an impressive Broadway set with seashell footlights, sparkling furniture, painted backdrops, and glitzy costumes. This hilarious musical farce won the most Tony Awards of any musical on Broadway in 2006 (including Best Book and Best Original Score), and was hailed by New York Magazine as “The Perfect Broadway Musical”. We’ll have lunch at Billy G’s in picturesque downtown Kirkwood. Trip cost: $115 (sign up by July 20) Trip includes: Transportation Tour of The Black Madonna Shrine and Grottos Lunch The Drowsy Chaperone Performance
