Stray Dog Theatre Presents EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL 10/14-10/30
by BWW News Desk - October 14, 2010
Move over Rocky Horror, and make way for EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL! Based on the 80's cult classic Evil Dead films, this show is hilariously campy and bursting with more farce than a Monty Python skit. Five college kids take a trip to a remote cabin in the woods and encounter everything from ancient evil spirits to revenge-seeking Candarian Demons. One outrageous, horror-filled moment leads to another as every attempt is made to ward-off the bloodthirsty villains. It's all ridiculous and wild, while the term 'Fresh Blood!' takes on new meaning!

BWW Review: Upstream Theater Presents Powerful Production of OEDIPUS KING
by Chris Gibson - October 12, 2010
The story of Oedipus is a tragic one, and perhaps one of the most pitiable and pathetic in all of the Greek canon. The tale is familiar and famous enough to have inspired a complex named after the protagonist, although Sigmund Freud's description of it relates more to the unconscious guilt that centers around an individual who exhibits obsessive behavior toward their parent of the opposite sex, than it does the actual circumstances surrounding Oedipus. That definition really doesn't fit the actual figure of Oedipus, because he's completely unaware of the missing fork in his family tree when he takes his own mother as his wife, after being abandoned as a child. Upstream Theater is presenting a powerful and memorable production of this play, OEDIPUS KING, from an adaptation by David Slavitt, which actually manages, even amidst all the heartbreak and pain, to find some small moments of humor to lighten the overall darkness of the piece.

by Chris Gibson - October 10, 2010
Joan MacLeod's play, ANOTHER HOME INVASION, is a cautionary tale, and while the setting may be Canada, the message is one that will resonate with anyone who has aging parents that are living on their own.

BWW Review: New Jewish Theatre Presents MY NAME IS ASHER LEV
by Chris Gibson - October 10, 2010
Playwright Aaron Posner has done a wonderful job of adapting Chaim Potok's novel MY NAME IS ASHER LEV for the stage. With amazing economy, Poser whittles down the work to 90 minutes of stage time, and with two of the three actors playing multiple roles, condenses the complexities even further, and yet the play still maintains the flavor and intensity of Potok's writing. The New Jewish Theatre begin their 2010-11 season with a mesmerizing production of this engaging and compelling portrait of a young artist struggling with reconciling his family and religious beliefs with his own particular artistic aesthetic.

St. Louis Actors' Studio Presents NOVEMBER 10/8-10/24
by BWW News Desk - October 08, 2010
St. Louis Actors' Studio opens its fourth season, themed Angels and Demons, with David Mamet's oval office hit NOVEMBER. It's a Presidential election year, and incumbent Charles Smith's chances for reelection are looking grim. Approval ratings are down, his money's running out, and nuclear war might be imminent. Though his staff has thrown in the towel and his wife has begun to prepare for her post-White House life, Chuck isn't ready to give up just yet. Amidst the biggest fight of his political career, the President has to find time to pardon a couple of turkeys - saving them from the slaughter before Thanksgiving - and this simple PR event inspires Smith to risk it all in attempt to win back public support.

BWW REVIEW: Ben Nordstrom at the Sheldon Concert Hall
by Chris Gibson - October 07, 2010
Since I started writing theatre reviews a few years back one of the most interesting things that's occurred has been the opportunity to watch performers grow and take risks. A little over a year and a half ago I had the chance to cover Ben Nordstrom's first cabaret performance at the Kranzberg Arts Center, and I thought he did a solid job, but I could tell he was still finding his way as a solo performer. However, if his concert at the Sheldon this past Tuesday (10/5/2010) is any indication, he's really coming into his own as a solo singer who can engage and captivate a crowd with both his voice and personality

BWW Review: St. Louis Shakespeares' Production of THE TEMPEST
by Chris Gibson - October 06, 2010
Shakespeare's last great play, THE TEMPEST, has always been a favorite of mine, if only because it lends itself to intriguing stagings and imaginative re-interpretations with it's appealing mix of comedy, romance, and magic. And, with director Julie Taymor's film version about to be put into wide release, it's certainly a good time to revisit this material.
