REVIEW: Repertory Theatre of St. Louis Presents a Charming Production of A CHRISTMAS STORY
by Chris Gibson - Dec 21, 2009
I distinctly recall the very first time I saw the film version of A CHRISTMAS STORY (1983). I sat alone in a nearly empty theatre as it unspooled, all the while thinking it deserving of a much better fate. So you can imagine my surprise when it became a cult hit, and then a full-fledged holiday tradition with 24 hour screenings on cable TV. Over the years, Jean Shepherd's personal recollections of his favorite Christmas have actually become an essential component in our festive rites, and the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis has crafted a wonderfully charming adaptation that's required viewing for the yuletide season.

Review - Revisiting Our Town
by Michael Dale - Nov 17, 2009
I had the immense pleasure of taking another visit to Grover's Corners, New Hampshire last week, via the fascinating David Cromer production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town that opened in February at the Barrow Street Theatre. Back then I wrote that the director's non-traditional take on the play - which remains completely faithful to the author's text and themes - was one of the most exciting theatre events of the season. On second look, with a mixture of new and old cast member, I'd say it's the best theatre production I know of currently playing in New York.
