The free shows run at 8 p.m. nightly except Tuesdays May 23-June 17 in Shakespeare Glen, east of the St. Louis Art Museum.
One of Justin Blanchard’s fondest memories from performing in the Shakespeare Festival St. Louis production of Hamlet two years ago is the time he spent talking with audience members after each show’s final curtain. “I always like to come out afterwards. We kind of just mingle with the crowd, and talk with people,” he said. “You can grab me afterwards and ask me questions or tell me what you thought. I always welcome that kind of feedback and interaction with people who have questions. I think that’s a really wonderful part about the festival.” Blanchard plays the villainous Iago in this season’s Shakespeare Festival production of Othello, which runs at 8 p.m. nightly except Tuesdays May 23 through June 17 in Shakespeare Glen, just east of…

The driver of the landscaping truck was injured in the accident.
A landscaping company truck overturned this morning in the roundabout at Corporate Parkway and the I-64 North Service Road. The accident closed the roundabout for more than an hour and a half. The truck, which was filled with topsoil, was from Hansen's Tree Service in O'Fallon. "He either cornered too quickly, or he hit that curb," Lake Saint Louis Police Sergeant Paul Bastean said. The truck spilled part of its load of dirt on the roadway, and city crews were working to clear the roadway after the truck was righted and removed about about 10 a.m. The driver, who has not been identified, was taken by ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Creve Coeur.

The St. Louis Rams have outlined a renovation plan for the Edward Jones Dome that is estimated to cost $700 million.
The Rams want us to buy them a new house. Just fixing up its current home—the Edward Jones Dome—won't do. Instead, the St. Louis football franchise expects an extreme makeover, to the tune of $700 million, as it is estimated by a company hired by the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission (CVC) to analyze the team's counter proposal to a the CVC's own plan to upgrade the Edward Jones Dome with a $124 million facelift. If someone doesn't cough up the $700 mil to redo the Dome, it is feared the team will take its football and go home to Los Angeles, where it came from before it was the St. Louis franchise. All of this wrangling was set in motion in 1995 when the team negotiated a 30-year lease with the CVC. It was stipulated that the …
