Next month, Washington University's Performing Arts Department (PAD) in Arts & Sciences will present ECLIPSED for six performances in the A.E. Hotchner Studio Theatre. It is perhaps the unlikeliest community imaginable, and daunting territory for any dramatist. Yet ECLIPSED, a recent work by acclaimed actress and playwright Danai Gurira, is at once sharp-edged, humanizing and surprisingly funny - a portrait of resilience in even the most difficult of circumstances.

STATE FAIR was the only musical that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote specifically for Hollywood and two versions were filmed, one in 1945 and the other in 1962. The one that's probably most familiar to audiences today is the rather forgettable 1962 version which features Pat Boone serenading a pig. Hammerstein's son, James, revived the musical in 1995, plucking tunes from ME AND JULIET, PIPE DREAM and ALLEGRO! to round out the score. While the results are certainly a mixed bag musically, the latest presentation by Stages St. Louis is splendidly mounted, and provides a lively and engaging look back at a simpler time in our history.
