About this Event
Donnybrook Is Turning 40!
For 40 years, has been St. Louis’s home for spirited, thought-provoking conversation. What began as a pilot program has grown into one of public television’s longest-running local public affairs programs, engaging generations of viewers with lively debate, sharp insights, and a commitment to tackling the issues that matter most.
More than a television show, Donnybrook is a celebration of civil discourse. For three decades, its panelists have demonstrated that people can disagree passionately, respect different viewpoints, and learn from one another. That enduring spirit continues to make Donnybrook a treasured St. Louis tradition.

Celebrate with Us!
Come along for the ride as we take Donnybrook on the road with three live shows! It’s the same show you know and love, live, and in person. See what happens when our five quick-witted, highly opinionated St. Louis journalists disagree on tough topics. This is not another dry, tame talk show. On Donnybrook, the issues are hot, and so is the discussion.
Come early to get a great seat. Stay after the show to enjoy complimentary dessert and meet the panelists at our post-show reception.
