REVIEW: Repertory Theatre of St. Louis Presents a Charming Production of A CHRISTMAS STORY
by Chris Gibson - December 21, 2009
I distinctly recall the very first time I saw the film version of A CHRISTMAS STORY (1983). I sat alone in a nearly empty theatre as it unspooled, all the while thinking it deserving of a much better fate. So you can imagine my surprise when it became a cult hit, and then a full-fledged holiday tradition with 24 hour screenings on cable TV. Over the years, Jean Shepherd's personal recollections of his favorite Christmas have actually become an essential component in our festive rites, and the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis has crafted a wonderfully charming adaptation that's required viewing for the yuletide season.
REVIEW: The Black Rep Brings a Joyous Production of Langston Hughes' BLACK NATIVITY to the Grandel Stage

This is an uplifting and affirming celebration that features a terrific and talented ensemble.
REVIEW: IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMAS comes to the Stage of the Fox Theatre through Dec 27
by Chris Gibson - December 21, 2009
I originally saw Paul Blake and David Ives' adaptation of the 1954 movie WHITE CHRISTMAS back in 2006 at the Muny. There have been some minor changes made to it since then, but it still follows the basic plot of the movie fairly closely. In fact, most of the changes center on the inclusion of additional tunes by Irving Berlin. But, any time a film is reworked for the stage it's going to draw the inevitable comparisons to its original source material, and this version, which features some outstanding moments of song and dance, falls a bit short of expectations.
REVIEW: Imaginary Theatre Company Brings Wonderfully Entertaining Production of BAH! HUMBUG! to the Loretto-Hilton Stage
by Chris Gibson - December 21, 2009
For my last undertaking of 2009, my family and I attended the Imaginary Theatre Company's presentation of a modern re-telling of Charles Dickens' classic tale, A Christmas Carol, called BAH! HUMBUG!. A terrific cast really enlivens Jack Herrick's tuneful score and clever script, providing a wonderfully entertaining production that's perfect for children and adults, and acting as a fitting close to my own holiday theatrical odyssey.
