BWW Reviews: Premiere of THE STATE OF MARRIAGE

The St. Louis Actors' Studio and That Uppity Theatre Company have combined their efforts to close their season with the premiere of Joan Lipkin's (with collaborator JT Ricroft) original play, THE STATE OF MARRIAGE.

But there are also serious messages about tolerance and acceptance that are being conveyed here, making this an intriguing project.
