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: THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA at St. Louis Shakespeare Festival

by James Lindhorst · August 6, 2026

Review: WAKEY WAKEY is a Poignant Look at End of Life
