BWW Reviews: New Line's WILD PARTY is Wildly Entertaining
by Chris Gibson - April 27, 2010
Andrew Lippa's musical adaptation of Joseph Moncure March's epic poem, THE WILD PARTY, is a brilliant work, especially if you're anything like me, and you like your entertainment on the dark side. It's a decadent jewel gleaming with sinister possibilities, and thus, far removed from the current trend toward sunny shows with predictably happy endings. Though set in 1928, it manages to perfectly capture the current mood of cynicism that seems to have run rampant through our country over the course of the last fifteen years. New Line Theatre's current presentation of THE WILD PARTY is a deliriously engaging experience, easily making it one of the best productions of the year.

BWW Reviews: Mustard Seed Theatre's Production of TARTUFFE is Delightful and Hilarious
by Chris Gibson - April 26, 2010
Some people cannot be convinced of something unless they see it with their own two eyes, and even then they can be skeptical. This is a problem that Orgon, a character from Moliere's classic comedy TARTUFFE faces. Everyone around him, except his Mother, seems to understand that the man that Orgon has taken in has a less than stellar past, and that he's up to no good. But Orgon's blindness, even in the face of being confronted with eyewitness accounts, works against him taking any action against a man he sees as being perfectly pious. Mustard Seed Theatre has produced a funny and extremely well cast version of this play, and it's required viewing for anyone looking for something a little light and easy to take.

BWW Reviews: Mark Knopfler Impresses at the Fox Theatre
by Chris Gibson - April 26, 2010
It's been a long time since Mark Knopfler graced St. Louis with his presence and the wait was certainly worth it for those lucky enough to capture his performance at the Fox Theatre (April 22, 2010) this past Thursday. Flanked by a large band consistenting of any number of multi-instrumentalists, Knopfler delivered a crisp two hour set that mostly covered material from his solo career, but also included a few choice Dire Straits songs for those diehard fans who haven't kept up with this hugely talented guitarist and songwriter.

Upstream Theater to Present OUTLYING ISLANDS 4/9 - 4/25 at Kranzberg Arts Center
by BWW News Desk - April 25, 2010
Upstream Theater will present the local premiere of OUTLYING ISLANDS by David Greig, one of Scotland's leading playwrights. Set on a remote island off the coast of Scotland on the eve of World War II, the play shows three characters caught in a web of mounting sexual tension.

For mature audiences.

St. Louis Actors' Studio Continues Season with Henrik Ibsen's A DOLL'S HOUSE 4/9 - 4/25
by BWW News Desk - April 25, 2010
St. Louis Actors' Studio continues its third season with Henrik Ibsen's A DOLL'S HOUSE.

Ibsen's 19th century masterpiece is a lesson of the true meaning of love, sacrifice and happiness.
