by Chris Gibson - November 10, 2010
The American dream is a fragile thing. Just ask the Tate family, a bickering, dysfunctional clan struggling to retain its dilapidated farmhouse on the edge of an unforgiving Western desert.

This month, Washington University's Performing Arts Department (PAD) in Arts & Sciences will present the play for five performances in the A.E. Hotchner Studio Theatre.

Washington University Edison Theatre Presents PLUCK 11/19-20
by Chris Gibson - November 10, 2010
PLUCK'S MUSICAL ARSON is, first and foremost, a concert. Three classically trained musicians - cellist Flora Allison, violinst Kit Massey and violist Jon Regan - take the stage and, with impeccable musicianship, perform favorite works ranging from Bach to the Beatles. Yet the musicianship is the only thing impeccable about this bickering trio, whose self-absorbed antics rival those of any diva. Combining gleeful absurdist humor with outrageous physical comedy, they compete, argue, scheme, ridicule, dance fight and seduce there way through Brahms, Ravel, Vivaldi and more.

BWW Review: West End Players Guild Presents A WOMAN'S PLACE
by Chris Gibson - November 09, 2010
An eclectic collection of one act plays by the likes of Susan Glaspell (Trifles), David Mamet (Australia), William Saroyan (Hello Out There), and Harold Pinter (Ashes to Ashes), A WOMAN'S PLACE fulfills the promise of its title by placing women in key roles in each of these unique pieces. The West End Players Guild celebrate their 100th season with a fine production of this work, and solid direction and performances help to maintain interest despite the seemingly disparate nature of these four plays.

BWW Review: Citilites Theatre's Charming Production of MARRY ME A LITTLE
by Chris Gibson - November 08, 2010
MARRY ME A LITTLE is an interesting little musical that cobbles together cut songs and lesser celebrated numbers composed by Stephen Sondheim. It's a clever idea, and even though some of the numbers don't really seem to fit perfectly with the 'story', they still provide an opportunity to hear a master songwriter at work, with even these castoffs showcasing his catchy, but challenging gift for melodic invention, as well as his considerable lyrical wit. Citilites Theatre is presenting a solid production of this brief, but engaging, work conceived and developed by Craig Lucas and Norman Rene.

BWW Review: The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis Presents NEXT FALL
by Chris Gibson - November 05, 2010
Playwright Geoffrey Nauffts has put together a provocative and engaging evening of theatre with his work, NEXT FALL, which thematically concerns itself with issues of homosexuality and faith. It certainly fulfills my personal requirements for must-see theatre by making the audience laugh, cry and think, and it does so with a considerable amount of charm and wit. The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis is presenting Next Fall as part of their Studio Theatre series, although it's being staged at the Grandel Theatre in order to take advantage of the space required, and they've assembled a splendid cast to bring this heart-breaking story to life.

The Sheldon Presents THE KINGSTON TRIO on 11/5
by BWW News Desk - November 05, 2010
The original Kingston Trio, formed in San Francisco in 1957 by Bob Shane, Nick Reynolds and Dave Guard, changed the face of pop music, introducing a new take on classic American folk music. Their 'folk revival' sound paved the way in the 1960s for groups such as the Limelighters, the Smothers Brothers and the Brothers Four, eventually inspiring the protest folk music of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary. In their heyday, the Trio's albums and concert performances were out-sold only by the Beatles, and their sound influenced the musical tastes of a generation.

BWW Review: Mustard Seed Theatre's Production of THE CHOSEN
by Chris Gibson - October 31, 2010
The second half of the mini-Potok festival continues with an engaging and thoughtful dramatization of his classic novel THE CHOSEN, which I can recall reading (for English class) and enjoying myself many years ago. This adaptation, like the recent production of MY NAME IS ASHER LEV, is also written by playwright Aaron Posner, and it fully captures the flavor of the book, staging key scenes compactly, and with considerable economy, even though it relies on the use of a narrator, which the other adaptation eschewed in favor of having its protagonist portray the lead character at various stages. Mustard Seed Theatre's production is nicely conceived and executed, with a solid cast doing fine work under the guidance of director (of both productions) Deanna Jent.
