Upstream Theater continues to find little gems from around the globe, delivering unique theatrical experiences that cast a light on different cultures and societies outside of our own. Buenos Aires born playwright Lucia Laragione's COOKING WITH ELISA is their latest discovery, and is currently being staged for its U.S. premiere with a translation by artistic director Philip Boehm, who has a real knack for adapting these kind of plays for an American audience. The results are provocative and compelling, and if you take the time to read through the program notes, you'll really get a sense of the political undercurrents that run through this piece.
Upstream Theater presents the US premiere of COOKING WITH ELISA by Argentine playwright Lucía Laragione, in an English version by Philip Boehm, directed by Bonnie Taylor. The play, which has won prestigious awards in Spain as well as Argentina, features Jane Paradise and Shanara Gabrielle.

Controversial playwright/filmmaker Neil Labute has a unique talent for crafting works that deliver a solid sucker punch to the gut. I can appreciate that approach, and since I'm always on the lookout for something out of the ordinary, I made it a point to check out the St. Louis Actors' Studio production of THE SHAPE OF THINGS. Director Alec Wild's sharp direction combines with a well cast ensemble to bring this provocative and challenging piece to life at the Gaslight Theater.
St. Louis Actors' Studio, continuing with its third season, examines the art of seduction with Neil LaBute's THE SHAPE OF THINGS. When nerdy college student Adam meets cool graduate art student Evelyn, he is instantly infatuated. As the relationship continues on, however, Evelyn's influence upon Adam changes him drastically. LaBute's disquieting story of seduction, manipulation, and loss of identity analyzes the sacrifices one will make for love.
