Review: THE BIRDS at Albion Theatre is a Foreboding Psychological Thriller

Review: THE BIRDS at Albion Theatre is a Foreboding Psychological Thriller

by James Lindhorst · October 16, 2026

Conor McPherson’s adaptation of The Birds is more psychological than graphic. It pits desperate people against one another in a desperate time. Director Robert Ashton, Production Designer Rob Lippert, and the entire team are telling an eerie, disquieting, and foreboding tale. It is a slow-burning …

by Rob Levy · October 16, 2026

Review: Soul Siren’s Provocative THE NICETIES is Explosive Art

by James Lindhorst · October 14, 2026

There is nothing subtle about Eleanor Burgess’ ruthlessly candid script. The Niceties seethes with bitter, cutting dialogue.

Review: Alex Edelman’s JUST FOR US Takes on Antisemitism with Sensitivity and Humor

by James Lindhorst · October 5, 2026

Alex Edelman’s one-man showcleverly places the audience in his own shoes. He disarms with humor then sensitively discusses antisemitism, Judaism, assimilation, and hatred. Jacob Flekier, starring as Alex Edelman, is likable. His entrance felt a bit awkward, telling what Edelman calls “dumb jokes…

Review: CLUE at Fox Theatre, St. Louis

by Rob Levy · September 28, 2026

In Clue, secret agendas, grizzly murders, secret identities, and things that go bump in the night come together with side-splitting wackiness for an enthrallingly goofy spoof of the mystery genre. Presented without intermission, it boasts a superb cast and loads of humor. The result is a fast-paced …

Review: ERA’s THE LAST SHOW ON EARTH is an Entertaining Off-Kilter Comedy

by James Lindhorst · September 21, 2026

The Last Show on Earth is an off-kilter comedy that is as quirky as it is entertaining.
