Devotees are left waiting for a local production to be staged to get their ROCKY HORROR fix. Happily, Stray Dog Theatre is presenting an enjoyable and engaging production by the [Insert Name Here] Theatre Project.

KATHY GRIFFIN'S talent is not only her ability to talk non-stop for nearly two hours, but to make it all seem so effortless.

Adam Szymkowicz's nightmarish comedy NERVE tackles the subject of online dating in hilarious fashion, with its creepy tale of a hookup gone horribly askew. The Echo Theatre Company's presentation is a must-see production that features two of the St. Louis's finest actors.
