StitchCast Studio Special Edition: The Divided City is a series of four unique conversations that will bring historical context around recurring topics chosen by youth in the StitchCast Studio published podcasts, including: the preservation of black history and historical sites and the stories of Missouri's people throughout time. The Series dovetails into Story Stitchers’ multi-year signature program, The WHY of MY City, which focuses on the stories and history embedded in St. Louis, Missouri’s historically Black neighborhoods.
Celebrate Juneteenth with The WHY of MY City, a new play by Saint Louis Story Stitchers, written by Mario Farwell and directed by Gregory S. Carr.
The story…Wanda, a young African American, returns to St. Louis after graduating high school. She wants to explore opportunities, but Zoot Suit, a well-known gangster, entices her to come work for him. The community rallies to prevent Wanda from making a serious mistake and with the help of Scott Joplin, Madam CJ Walker, Cool Papa Bell and Tina Turner, they manage to save her from the clutches of Zoot Suit.
