It's tragic enough when someone loses their spouse, but when they also lose their only child within a year and a half of that, it's simply indescribable. But that's precisely what happened to writer Joan Didion, and she chronicled the experience in her book, and in the play that followed, THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING. The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis is presenting a powerful and emotion-packed presentation of this play in the intimate confines of their Studio Theatre, and while it will most certainly speak to anyone, it will resonate even deeper with those who have lost someone close to them. This one-woman show is an affecting work and Fontaine Syer delivers an exceptional performance.

William Atherton, Matt Cavenaugh, Lisa O'Hare, Carol Lawrence, Millicent Martin and Jason Graae are the acclaimed film, Broadway and West End stars who will lead the cast of Reprise Theatre Company's second production of the 2010-2011 season, 'Gigi', playing February 15 to February 27, 2011 (press opening February 16, 2011) at UCLA's Freud Playhouse. The musical - with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe -- will be directed by veteran musical theatre director David Lee, with choreography by Peggy Hickey and musical direction by Steve Orich.
