Review: WEDDING BAND at The Catherine B. Berges Theatre At COCA
by James Lindhorst - March 17, 2024

Jones collaborates with his cast and crew to mount an artful production of Alice Childress’ important story.

Review: NAUGHTY MARIETTA at Kirkwood Performing Arts Center
by Steve Callahan - March 11, 2024

Winter Opera continues it’s seventeenth season with another iconic operetta—Victor Herbert’s Naughty Marietta.  This lovely old show premiered in 1910. It was produced by the first Oscar Hammerstein (the grandfather of you-know-who).  In 1935 a movie version was made—with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy.

Review: DREAMING OF LEAR at Upstream Theater
by Steve Callahan - March 11, 2024

DREAMING OF LEAR is a brilliant, memorable piece of leading-edge experimental theater. Its director, Lucy Cashion, has, I think, the most refreshing brain in the St. Louis theater world.  It’s been a decade since she appeared on my horizon, and in that time she’s led a number of exciting productions.  She joined the SLU faculty and has recently become Director of the school’s Theatre & Dance Program—a position which is virtually (and was perhaps literally) “made for her”.
