by Chris Gibson - June 18, 2010
The passengers sailing on the S. S. American from New York to England are an unusual lot. Among them are a gangster, an evangelist turned nightclub crooner, a society debutante, a wealthy business man and many more! The madcap antics of a love triangle at sea, a myriad of mistaken identities and a lively Cole Porter musical score including, 'You're the Top,' 'I Get A Kick Out Of You,' and 'It's De-Lovely,' make for a special performance of energy and entertainment.

BWW Reviews: OUR TOWN at Stray Dog
by Chris Gibson - June 14, 2010
Thornton Wilder's venerable American classic OUR TOWN is an interesting character study, focusing its attention on a small New England town and the changes that occur to various characters as time passes. This was an era when entire families put down roots and never gave a thought to moving, with children growing up and taking over the family businesses. Stray Dog Theatre is currently presenting the play, and though it's a flawed presentation, a game cast does a fairly good job of bringing Wilder's characters to life.

BWW Reviews; The Black Rep Brings Their Season to a Close with Lively Production of THE ME NOBODY KNOWS
by Chris Gibson - June 14, 2010
THE ME NOBODY KNOWS is a musical plea for understanding by a group of underprivileged children that's set in one of the poorer neighborhoods of New York City. It's an indictment of our current social and economic conditions that this show, written in 1970, explores themes and issues that still resonate with audiences today. The current production by the Black Rep is a rousing and entertaining show that features a young and talented cast.

BWW Reviews: Opera Theatre of St. Louis Continues Season with Strong Production of EUGENE ONEGIN
by Chris Gibson - June 13, 2010
While Alexander Pushkin's original verse novel, EUGENE ONEGIN, had its protagonist at the center of attention, composer Peter Illyich Tchaikovsky and writer Konstantin Shilovsky's operatic adaptation (with an English translation by David Lloyd-Jones) instead focuses on Tatiana, the woman whose heart is broken by Onegin when he rejects her. This fundamental change in perspective actually makes for a more tragic and emotional experience, and coming from Tatiana's point of view, works perfectly for the world of opera. The Opera Theatre of St. Louis is presenting a lush and dramatic production of EUGENE ONEGIN as part of their season now playing at the Loretto-Hilton.

BWW Reviews: The Midnight Company's Intriguing Production of AN APOLOGY...
by Chris Gibson - June 13, 2010
The classic German legend of Faust gets an interesting re-imagining with playwright Mickle Maher's An Apology for the Course and Outcome of Certain Events Delivered by Doctor John Faustus on This His Final Evening. This is an hour spent in the company of a very regretful Doctor John Faustus, along with his ever present servant of the past twenty-four years, Mephistopheles.

We are certain it is a Midwest premiere and may be the first time it's ever been performed professionally, though the history is fuzzy on that. It is also interesting because of the certain collaboration with Agnes Boulton O'Neill, the playwright's second wife.
