BWW Reviews: Citilites' Production of PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS
by Chris Gibson - August 23, 2010
Playwright John Patrick Shanley explores the 'feminization' of the male of the species with his work PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS (google Krafft-Ebbing for a more detailed explanation of the historical and ground-breaking, but essentially flawed, text that the title is copped from, but bears no resemblance toward), focusing on a pair of men who wouldn't seem out of place in some Larry David scenario, acting much like the fully grown, but emotionally immature males who dominate his output.

BWW Reviews: First Run Theatre and Dusty Bums' Production of LET THERE BE THISTLES
by Chris Gibson - August 17, 2010
First Run Theatre dedicates all its efforts toward full stagings of new works by local playwrights, and on this occasion, they're presenting (along with Dusty Bums, and through the kind use of the Marble Stage Theatre space in the Crestwood Artspace) LET THERE BE THISTLES by Joshua Thomas. This is an intriguing play, and one that benefits greatly from the smaller confines the space provides, since First Run's plays are usually staged at the Thomas Hunter Theatre on the campus of DeSmet High school, which is a lovely, but imposing venue. This play probably wouldn't work as well in such a big room, but here, in a more intimate surrounding, it's far more engaging and intense.
