Cabaret St. Louis closes its Fall 2010 season with Barb Jungr "The Men I Love: The New American Songbook" December 1-4, 2010 at 8 pm the Kranzberg Arts Center - 501 North Grand.

Vineyard Theatre has announced a change in the production schedule for ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER. Due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts with the creative team, the full production of ON A CLEAR DAY... originally scheduled to open at The Vineyard in March 2011 has been postponed to the fall of 2011.

Our Postmodern Town might be a more descriptive title for Will Eno's Middletown, a play that coats the Thornton Wilder standard of normal American life as it pertains to the cycle of life and death with a whitewash of Samuel Beckett absurdity.  And if even half of the play's two hours contained the vivacity of the first few minutes, where David Garrison rhythmically recites an all-inclusive list describing any possible type of audience member who might be in attendance - concluding with his pointing out the fire exits - a trip to Middletown might prove a worthy excursion.

On Wednesday, November 3, the Vineyard opened Will Eno's Middletown. The all-star cast of MIDDLETOWN features Heather Burns, Cindy Cheung, Johanna Day, Georgia Engel, David Garrison, Ed Jewett, McKenna Kerrigan, James McMenamin, Michael Park, Linus Roache, Olivia Scott and Pete Simpson.

Having opened to a host of positive reviews and strong ticket sales, Vineyard Theatre's world-premiere production of Will Eno's play MIDDLETOWN will extend its run an additional two weeks - through December 5 - it has been announced by Douglas Aibel, artistic director of The Vineyard (108 E. 15 St.).

Save the date for the opening of Will Eno's MIDDLETOWN at Vineyard Theatre (108 East 15th Street) next Wednesday, November 3.

Most people will remember Carson Kressley from television's 'Queer Eye For The Straight Guy'. He was the more outrageous of the so-called Fab Five and was the show's fashion guru. Talking to him on the phone proved that he's not exactly like that. At least not nowadays. He proved to be genial, intelligent and much more of a sweetheart than anyone would expect from his television image. He was eager to chat about his background, his stage acting and his participation in 'Broadway Takes The Runway' which takes place on October 4th.
