by Student Blogger: Grace Schofield - December 02, 2024


That’s how I got started writing plays. I have never taken a playwriting class, I’m about to next semester, and I still don’t quite know what I’m doing. But I know that I love it.

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL: THE REMIX is a Hip Hop Holiday Gift
by James Lindhorst - November 27, 2024


A CHRISTMAS CAROL: THE REMIX is a fantastically creative retelling of the Dickensian tale. It is an outrageous theatrical event that adds up to high energy imaginative story telling. A couple moments in the show that feel a bit one-note and repetitive when the narrative goes on a little too long, but overall, The Q Brothers A CHRISTMAS CAROL: THE REMIX will delight you and will make your heart swell with Christmas spirit.

Review: FIRST DATE at New Jewish Theatre
by James Lindhorst - November 24, 2024


New Jewish Theatre's current production of FIRST DATE features a terrific cast in sublime comedic performances. Director Lee Ann Mathews and her company of seven clever actors fearlessly dive into physical comedy to create an entertaining show that is light, zany, and funny. It certainly isn’t a masterpiece of modern musical theater, but “FIRST DATE is a delectably fun and entertaining little diversion with a lot of laughs.

Review: THE BUTCHER OF BARABOO at Union Avenue Christian Church
by James Lindhorst - November 23, 2024


“The Butcher of Baraboo” is a grim dark comedy that spirals into complete brutality. The characters are willing to go to extreme measures to protect themselves and their secrets. The is no familial loyalty among this group of vicious characters. The West End Players Guild has staged a cutting production of a play that is gratuitous in savage barbarity.

Review: DON’T BE A HERO, THANK YOU and GO BEFORE I DO at Greenfinch Theater and Dive Bar
by James Lindhorst - November 18, 2024


“Don’t Be a Hero, Thank You” is a one-act play that takes a humorous look at the challenges faced by the fictional Kate following her release from prison for a felony conviction after robbing a bank. The narrative is comprised mostly as a single-person monologue that is interrupted by phone calls from friends. Leemon’s smartly written script builds empathy through laughter.Hazel McIntire’s “Go Before I Do” also deals with complex emotions but by using dramatic storytelling instead of satire. Like Leemon’s script, McIntire uses monologue, combined with dialogue between characters, to manage generational grief stemming from the loss of a spouse and parents.

Review: ELEPHANTS’ GRAVEYARD Looks Death in the Eye and Laughs
by James Lindhorst - November 16, 2024


ELEPHANTS' GRAVEYARD is a lovely piece of writing. It doesn’t wallow in sadness or pathos. It looks death in the eye and laughs. Corbett, Meyer, and Rausch have given the world premiere of ELEPHANTS' GRAVEYARD a beautiful staging. Williamson’s salubrious script proves that when facing even the gravest situations laughter is a pretty damn effective medicine.

Review: WOLF KINGS at Young Liars
by Steve Callahan - November 11, 2024


It’s a headlong dive into a fiercely black, wildly comic nightmare.  It’s a venture into betrayal and menace and sex and chaos, and into the unplumbed depths of the psyche.  It’s Wolf Kings, the Young Liars’ remarkable new piece now playing at The Chapel.

SEX DIARIES OF AN EX-CATHOLIC Comes to Greenfinch Theater and Dive
by Stephi Wild - November 11, 2024


Internationally produced playwright and St. Louis native Abigail Jensen will present her acclaimed Sex Diaries of an Ex-Catholic at Greenfinch Theater and Dive.

Review: WOLF KINGS at The Chapel
by James Lindhorst - November 10, 2024


“Wolf Kings” is more performance art than a play. The snappy banter is often witty and funny. The vivacious movement is dance-like. There are elements that are peculiar, comedic, and dramatic. It condemns predatory behavior though spectacle by granting victims strength. Its thought-provoking message is cloaked and shrouded in unusual absurdity with a final scene that is oddly disconnected. “Wolf Kings” will prompt both post-performance discussion and a bit of head scratching because its narrative gets messy and a little lost along the way.
