Sundance To Air HAIR Documentary Featuring Local Director 7/27
by Reynard Loki - July 21, 2009
The new documentary, 'Hair: Let the Sun Shine In,' after screenings at the Webster University Film Series in April, will air on July 27 at 8:00 p.m. on the Sundance Channel. Award-winning filmmaker Pola Rappaport?s documentary excavates the origins of this culturally transformative theatre work, including interviews with co-creator James Rado and original cast members, as well as abundant and rare archival footage. The result is a delectable deconstruction of a musical that defined an era, a generation and its politics. New Line Theatre's artistic director Scott Miller, author of the book 'Let the Sun Shine In: The Genius of Hair,' is also featured in the film. New Line Theatre produced HAIR last fall to enormous critical acclaim.

St. Louis Shakespeare Open Season With THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
by Chris Gibson - July 20, 2009
If most of the cast survives, and there's no 'King' in the title, then you must be watching one of William Shakespeare's comedies. THE MERCHANT OF VENICE is one such example. And, while it may not be as highly regarded as some of his other work, it's an amusing and intriguing play nonetheless.

[Insert Name Here] Theatre Project begins Stray Dog's season with THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW
by Chris Gibson - July 18, 2009
I remember seeing THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW at the old Varsity Theatre before it closed down. There was a mood generated by the grungy atmosphere of that old movie house, with fans packed in and dressed for the occasion, that's difficult to recreate when you can just pop in the DVD and watch it at home. Devotees are left waiting for a local production to be staged to get their ROCKY HORROR fix.

Kathy Griffin Performs at the FOX
by Chris Gibson - July 12, 2009
KATHY GRIFFIN'S talent is not only her ability to talk non-stop for nearly two hours, but to make it all seem so effortless. You imagine that she's making it all up on the spot, but comedy requires a lot more work than that to appear that way. And, on this particular evening, she was absolutely hilarious.
