For the first time since 1994, Music Guild is presenting the classic musical Meet Me in St. Louis, which will forever be associated with the name and legend of Judy Garland. With songs like "The Trolley Song" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", this musical tells the story of the Smith family of St. Louis during the year leading up to the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904.
