Washington University Performing Arts Department Presents THE PILLOWMAN Nov 19-22
by BWW News Desk - November 21, 2009
Set amidst a Kafkaesque police state, THE PILLOWMAN opens in a stark interrogation room, where the adult Katurian - a slaughterhouse worker beginning to find recognition as a writer of gruesome fairy tales - sits blindfolded, his brother Michal in the adjoining room. Their interrogators, the outrageously profane good-cop-bad-cop duo of Tupolski and Ariel, suspect that Katurian's stories may not be entirely fiction. And in fact, they do bear remarkable resemblance to a series of grisly child murders that the detectives are currently investigating.

REVIEW: Lyceum Theatre Closes Their 2009 Season with Charming Presentation of IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE - A LIVE RADIO PLAY
by Chris Gibson - November 16, 2009
The 2009 season for the Lyceum Theatre draws to a close with IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE - A LIVE RADIO PLAY. This is a unique take on the familiar holiday film classic that's been reworked for the stage by Joe Landry; in this case as a radio dramatization. What's interesting to me is that it was quite common during the golden age of radio to adapt current movies for the airwaves, and that was actually done back in the 1940's with Frank Capra's timeless feature. So, you're essentially viewing a fictionalized version of an event that genuinely occurred at some point. And, it's a perfectly charming and delightful experience.

REVIEW: Parsons Dance with the East Village Opera Company Present a Stunning Production of REMEMBER ME
by Chris Gibson - November 15, 2009
As soon as you hear the strains of the keyboard riff from The Who's 'Baba O'Reily' blending seamlessly into Mozart's 'Overture for Figaro', you know you're in for something different. With their co-creation, REMEMBER ME, Parsons Dance and the East Village Opera Company have crafted an exhilarating combination of music and modern dance that manages to transcend both mediums, transforming a simple story into something wholly new and visually arresting.

Parson Dance and East Village Opera Company bring REMEMBER ME to Edison Theatre 11/14-15
by BWW News Desk - November 14, 2009
It's a timeless tale: two rivalrous brothers vie for the love of a single woman. But REMEMBER ME, the ambitious new collaboration between Parsons Dance Company and the East Village Opera Company (EVOC), is anything but old-fashioned. Combining contemporary dance with live and recorded music as well as video projections, aerial choreography and special effects, Remember Me is at once rock-opera and opera that really rocks.
