The Fountain on Locust Partners with Metro Theater Company
Here at The Fountain on Locust, we are always looking for ways to support our local St. Louis community. When the opportunity presented itself to partner with Metro Theater Company, we couldn’t pass it up! Beginning April 2 we will be offering two specialty items in support of their upcoming production of Go, Dog. Go!
Go, Dog. Go! will be shown at The Big Top just a couple of blocks down the street from The Fountain. Throughout the entire two-week run of the show, we will be offering a special ice cream sundae and mocktail, and donating a portion of the proceeds to Metro Theater Company.
