Special Admission is only $7.00. Tickets are available now at The Landmark Tivoli Theatre, (314) 995-6270.
 
From the legendary creators of Spirited Away and Ponyo comes The Secret World of Arrietty, an animated adventure based on Mary Norton’s acclaimed children’s book series The Borrowers. Tiny Arrietty lives with her parents in the recesses of a suburban garden home, unbeknownst to the homeowner. Like all little people, Arrietty remains hidden from view, except during occasional covert ventures beyond the floorboards to “borrow” scrap supplies like sugar cubes from her human hosts. But when 12-year-old Shawn , a human boy who comes to stay in the home, discovers his mysterious housemate one evening, a secret but dangerous friendship blossoms.
 
Star Clipper has long been a supporter of movie writer and supervisor Hayao Miyazaki as well as Studio Ghibli in general through offering a variety of items related to their work. We are proud to present this special event with our neighbors at the Tivoli Theatre!

Fitz’s has been a staple restaurant in The Loop since it opened in 1993, and it’s no surprise why: delicious old-fashioned soda brewed and bottled within patrons’ view, enticing American classic foods like hamburgers and fried pickle chips, and a vibrant history put Fitz’s in a league of its own. Appealing to just about everyone, Fitz’s is the place for friends, families, couples, and kids to have a casual meal with some specialties you can only find at Fitz’s.

First thing’s first–the root beer. My goodness, the root beer. First brewed in 1947, Fitz’s root beer recipe was resurrected in 1985 after being out of production for 15 years. A vintage bottling line found in a Wisconsin barn makes the root beer just as it did in the ’40s. Made with cane sugar, Fitz’s is the real deal.

And of course in keeping with the nostalgic tradition of soda pop, ice cream floats are a must at Fitz’s. Brewing root beer, diet root beer, strawberry, cream, orange, orange cream, and grape soda, there are countless flavor combos. Remember though, these floats are nearly big enough to be a meal of their own, so you might need to share !

 
Here is a fantastic article from University City Patch — the best resource on all cultural news in University City. Be sure to bookmark their page!

The opening reception for Craft Alliance’s new Teapot exhibition will be from  6-8 p.m. Friday, March 9 in CA’s gallery in the Delmar Loop.

“Throughout the world, the drinking of tea is an integral part of the social fabric, from the everyday sharing of tea amongst friends to the traditional tea ceremony in Japan. The common thread linking all of these tea-time traditions is the dynamic of sharing. For this exhibition, artists from all media (clay, fiber, glass, metal and wood) share their appreciation and interpretation of the teapot with CA. The roster of participating artists is impressive; this year’s exhibit includes 50 artists, 20 of whom are local or regional.

Craft Alliance also will present the glass and metal work of Robert Ebendorf, a leading figure in the studio jewelry movement. His found object jewelry has been shown in galleries around the world, leading to a retrospective exhibition of his work at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.

Internationally known fiber artist, Jo Stealey, will display her teapots created out of leaves and paper, while Ed Bing Lee showcases his intricately knotted pieces.

To complement CA’s increasing interest in wood, this year’s exhibition features more wooden teapots than in previous shows. Nationally acclaimed woodturners John Jordan and Dixie Biggs will both feature their work, as well as internationally known pioneer woodturner David Ellsworth.

HOT TEA, Craft Alliance’s 13th teapot exhibition, is partially underwritten by The Republic of Tea. Financial assistance for Craft Alliance’s exhibition series has been provided by the Regional Arts Commission, the Arts & Education Council, and the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.

In conjunction with HOT TEA, Craft Alliance will present Sky High Tea: A Teapot Exhibition atLambert International Airport. Sky High Tea, Lambert International Airport’s first exhibition in their exciting new gallery space, focuses on twenty regional artists who are participating in this year’sHOT TEA biennial, showcasing teapots in glass, clay, metal, and fiber.

A few of the invited artists include well-known glass artist Susan Taylor Glasgow, ceramic artists Dan Barnett and Susan Bostwick, metal artist Michael Parrett, and fiber artists Ann Coddington Rast and Jo Stealey.”

Thanks University City Patch for the great news!
