Review: LOUISA MAY ALCOTT'S LITTLE WOMEN at Loretto-Hilton Center

Review: LOUISA MAY ALCOTT'S LITTLE WOMEN at Loretto-Hilton Center

by Rob Levy · September 18, 2026

The perfect aperitif for the company’s season, the play boasts an incredible cast, amazing costumes, and plenty of emotional heft. Set during a time of extreme political darkness, the theatrical gravitas derived from Alcott’s novel once again reminds us of the potency of words, connection, and t…

Review: THE COLOR PURPLE at The Black Rep is a Satisfying Production

Review: THE COLOR PURPLE at The Black Rep is a Satisfying Production

by James Lindhorst · September 14, 2026

The Color Purple is a mid-tier movies-to-musical adaptation that falls just short of becoming a classic. Brenda Russell, Allee Willis, and Stephen Bray’s score is competent but uneven. However, Marsha Norman’s book and her message of resilience, self-actualization, liberation, and reclamation re…

Review: EXTREMITIES at Tower Grove Abbey

by Rob Levy · August 10, 2026

Intense, poignant, and painted with shades of grey, Extremities, the latest production from Stray Dog Theatre, is psychological drama at its best. Well-acted and fraught with moral ambiguity, the company’s latest production is compelling and evocative. Suspensefully relentless, William Mastrosimon…

Review: MEET ME IN ST LOUIS at The Muny Overflows with Sentimentality and Heart

Review: MEET ME IN ST LOUIS at The Muny Overflows with Sentimentality and Heart

by James Lindhorst · August 8, 2026

Meet Me in St. Louis is exactly what you hope, want, and expect from a stage adaptation of the classic movie musical. What makes this Muny staging special are the wonderful portrayals, the beautiful set, video, and costume designs, and the many nostalgic nods to St. Louis.…

Review: JOB at New Jewish Theatre is a Turbulent Psychological Drama

Review: JOB at New Jewish Theatre is a Turbulent Psychological Drama

by James Lindhorst · August 7, 2026

New Jewish Theatre’s production of JOB a visceral theatrical experience. It is a turbulent psychological drama with unexpected twists and turns. Director Annamaria Pileggi and actors John Contini and Kristen Lintvedt capture all of the heightened drama in Friedman’s riveting script.…
