REVIEW: Black Rep and Washington University Performing Arts Department Team Up for RAGTIME
by Chris Gibson - October 18, 2009
Terrence McNally's script for the musical version of RAGTIME, taken from E. L. Doctorow's popular novel from the mid 1970's, attempts to squeeze as much information out of the book as possible. It succeeds, where the movie adaptation failed, in capturing the full spectrum of Doctorow's work. The Washington University Performing Arts Department, in conjunction with the Black Rep, is presenting a well mounted production directed with considerable flair by Ron Himes.

REVIEW: SLEUTH Continues Repertory Theatre of St. Louis 2009-2010 Season
by Chris Gibson - October 18, 2009
SLEUTH, being a thriller of sorts, may be best viewed by a novice, where its many intricacies of plot can be better appreciated, although that may be increasingly difficult to accomplish with the recent cable TV airings of the 2007 film remake. However, that attitude would be doing a disservice to Shaffer's witty script, which offers up a steady stream of delicious and sharply barbed dialogue to enjoy. The Rep's current production is a dazzling show that engages the viewer from start to finish. Even someone familiar with the outcome will enjoy this performance-driven presentation.
