With no offense meant, and respecting your quote, "I can act really well" I have to wonder of your experience, your resume/credentials? In the context of your Q you also mention "classes" and theaters. Would that mean you have no education in the craft???
St. Louis may not be the HUB of the theaterical Universe, but I happen to know they have fantastic theaters there, and a Great Opera company, as well as drama education available.
I suggest you think of the fact that there are dozens of viable theatrical communities and situations throughout the USA,,,and the World,,,IE: Chicago, Seattle, New York City, Miami, etc. etc. etc... Where many films are shot, and Hundreds of theaters and schools exist.

Call a director or a star? Are you out of your mind? Do you really think they would take a call from a struggling actor nobody has ever heard of? Listen to the other people who answered you. Take classes and audition for local theater. There are LOTS of good local theater groups in St Louis, and good training as well. Pretending that there isn't is just an excuse.

I will answer this question the same way over and over. Education. Education is the silver bullet. Get your self training, education, classes and do as much stuff as possible. I know peopl who do one local show and want to be an actor as a job. That is fine, but they have to be willing to pay the price. Living with six other people, no food, taking bus to places because you can't afford a car. Long days, 20 hours many times. It is a hard career choice. But if you really want it, it is time to get training and education. Pick up a book. Dramatist Source Guide, (from the library if you want) and you will find at least a dozen theatres in your area.

Even though everyone's always saying that theater is dying, there's theater everywhere in this country--at the regional, non-professional, and community levels.
It's true that if there isn't any theater where you are then you'll have to go to where there is some (or stay where you are and start it up yourself, which is also an option--especially since one-person shows are very hot right now), which won't be very far.
