St. Louisan Mary Engelbreit has won international recognition as an
illustrator and graphic artist. An entire industry has grown up around
her, and she is known throughout the world for her distinctive illustration
style, imbued with spirited wit and nostalgic warmth. The Muny is
honored to feature her original artwork as this season’s program cover.
“Growing up in St. Louis, I of course, have many wonderful memories of The Muny. My
sister and I went with our grandmother, our parents, and then, when I got a little older,
with boys who realized the free seats, along with a little picnic dinner eaten beforehand
in the park, were a great way to spend virtually no money on a date and yet still seem
incredibly classy. As a matter of fact, one of my first dates with my now-husband, Phil
Delano, was an evening in the free seats watching Yul Brynner in
The King and I
.
“So I was completely flattered and very honored when Mike Isaacson asked me to design the
program for this year. I tried to capture the magic I felt as a child, and the satisfaction I later
felt as a parent bringing my kids here, continuing a great St. Louis summertime tradition.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed drawing it!”
