Judy Garland Season: Meet Me in St. Louis
June 2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Judy Garland, a truly international star like no other. We’re celebrating her remarkable career with a retropsective of four screenings throughout AUGUST.
Garland achieved acclaim and everlasting popularity in dramatic and musical film roles, as well as on stage and as a recording artist, becoming the first woman to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Celebrate the centenary of a screen legend with our collection.
The well-off Smith family leads a comfortable, happy existence in St. Louis, a city set to welcome the 1904 World’s Fair. Seventeen-year-old Esther Smith has fallen in love with the boy who has just moved next door, though he hardly notices her at first. When Mr. Alonzo Smith announces that he has been transferred to New York for business and that his family must follow him, Esther and her siblings are distraught at the thought of leaving St. Louis, their lives and the World’s Fair behind.
