Stewart Copeland’s appearance at The Wildey Theatre is billed as a spoken-word evening, not a concert set. “Have I Said Too Much — The Police, Hollywood, and Other Adventures” brings together stories from the drummer and The Police founder’s career, with photos, video and time for audience questions.
The program looks past one band
The title points to The Police, but the event description places Copeland’s work across music, film scores, video games and opera. That range makes this a spoken presentation about a career across several fields, rather than an advertised performance of songs. The listing promises behind-the-scenes stories, photos, video and a Q&A, but does not identify specific stories or announce a musical set.
The organizer describes the presentation as mixing humor and sharp observations with those career stories. For visitors deciding whether to go, the clearest guide is the format: expect spoken storytelling supported by images and video, followed by audience questions.

A former opera house with a long community life
The Wildey Theatre opened in 1909 as an opera house designed by St. Louis architect G.H. Kennerly. Its uses expanded to vaudeville and films, as well as live music, dance, comedy, school plays, lectures and community ceremonies. That history makes Copeland’s talk part of a venue tradition that has included spoken programs as well as performance.
The theatre closed in 1984 and later faced a community-led restoration effort. After 12 years of fundraising, residents had raised $3 million; the Wildey welcomed visitors again in 2011. It now hosts films and live entertainment.
