Sheldon Concert Hall Presents Pokey Lafarge and the South City Three 12/17
by Chris Gibson - October 21, 2010
In 2009, Pokey LaFarge began working with The South City Three, a trio made up of fellow St. Louis musicians Joey Glynn, Adam Hoskins and Ryan Koenig. With their uniquely retro sound, featuring parlor guitar, guitjo (a guitartuned six-string banjo), kazoo and harmonica, LaFarge and the South City Three draw inspiration from LaFarge's travels around the country and early American roots music. Often compared to troubadours such as Blind Blake, Dan Hicks and Leon Redbone, LaFarge has charmed audiences from St. Louis to the Newport Folk Festival with a mix of jazz, blues, ragtime, old-time folk and swing - all performed with a modern twist!

BWW Review: The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis Presents Powerful Production of HIGH
by Chris Gibson - October 17, 2010
There's a moment in playwright Matthew Lombardo's play HIGH when Father Delpapp asks the coarse and tough-demeanored Sister Connelly why she became a nun. Her answer is telling, because it's not the typical selfless response you might expect; she's seeking redemption and forgiveness for her transgressions in life. It's something each of the three characters in this story is looking for in their lives, and it acts to make each of them seem all the more human and flawed. The world premiere of this brave new work continues its trek toward Broadway with a run in St. Louis, and this presentation by the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis is a dark and unsettling triumph, powered by bravura performances and sharp, incisive direction.

BWW Review: Stray Dog Theatre's Fun and Gory Production of EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL
by Chris Gibson - October 17, 2010
I can distinctly recall catching filmmaker Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 2 in a local theatre (an unrated cut) and being wowed by his audacious and imaginative camera work, as well as the copious amounts of gore and humor that gushed forth at breakneck speed. I'd only had the opportunity to see the first film, Evil Dead, on video, since it had been victimized by a decidedly limited and slipshop distribution, but I quickly became of a fan of the series, and even enjoyed the further adventures of Ash in the silly, but fun flick. Army of Darkness. I bring this all up because Stray Dog Theatre is presenting EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL, which pays homage to, and parodies, the Evil Dead trilogy, as well as other horror movie and musical theatre conventions, and it's a gruesome fun fest that's perfectly timed for the Halloween season.

BWW Reviews; St. Louis Actors' Studio Presents Hilarious Production of NOVEMBER
by Chris Gibson - October 17, 2010
While the chief target of David Mamet's hilariously funny play, NOVEMBER, may not in actuality be former president George W. Bush, Bush's uncanny knack for coming off less than intelligent, and his frequent, and often creative malapropisms, are clearly evident. But, really this isn't about any one particular presidency, but a delicious skewering of modern politics as a whole. Mamet's work is given a terrific production by the St. Louis Actors' Studio, which features top notch comic performances and tight, fast-paced direction.
