The Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Broadway's Tony Award for Best Play. London's Olivier Award for Best New Play. There's only one show in history that can claim all three honors.

A talented cast makes for a memorable evening.

Under the taut and subtle direction of Shirley Serotsky and graced with a tremendously talented class, Theater J's The Hampton Years is nothing short of a triumph. Local playwright Jacqueline E. Lawton has given us a vital part of our history back-the humble but compelling beginnings of two towering figures in African-American art, John Biggers and Samella Lewis, who studied under Austrian refugee Viktor Lowenfeld at Virginia's Hampton Institute.

Mystery, lust, intrigue and murder take center stage in the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park's DOUBLE INDEMNITY, which runs tonight, April 20 through May 18 in the Robert S. Marx Theatre.

THE BOOK CLUB PLAY, a comedy about books and the people who love them, continues the Playhouse's Thompson Shelterhouse Theatre season. This engaging and hilarious play by Karen Zacarias begins previews tonight, March 23 and will continue through April 28.

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis closes their season with a bang, literally, presenting a dramatically atmospheric production of novelist James M. Cain's classic work, DOUBLE INDEMNITY (lovingly adapted by David Pichette and R. Hamilton Wright). It's a script that overflows with double entendres, and is populated by the kind of hard boiled characters you would expect from this famous piece of pulp fiction. It even manages to outdo Billy Wilder's film noir version to a degree because it doesn't have to deal with the censor's deep cuts that left the movie a lot less racy and edgy than the book. Suffice to say, this is an incredibly cool, and surprisingly amusing, presentation that is another example of the kind of must-see theatre the Rep consistently produces.

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis (The Rep) presents the suspenseful play Double Indemnity, based on the novel by James M. Cain, adapted for the stage by David Pichette and R. Hamilton Wright, and directed by Michael Evan Haney. This crime-filled caper will be performed on the Browning Mainstage of the Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts, 130 Edgar Road (on the campus of Webster University), Webster Groves, tonight, March 13-April 7, 2013.

I'm glad that 'I Love to Eat' made good use of Nick Olcott's considerable acting talents. I just wish he was given a better script to deliver.
