Review: COME FROM AWAY at Stages St. Louis Tells a Story of a Town’s Selfless Generosity
Come From Away is bursting with compelling stories of post-9/11 experiences. Each story told by this gifted ensemble layers on powerful, emotionally resonant accounts of that week in Gander.

Review: HOOKMAN at West End Players Guild is as Cheesy as the Slasher Movies it Parodies.
Lauren Yee’s Hookman has a lot it wants to say about perpetrator induced-traumatic stress, but the message of accountability is lost in a painfully banal and utterly vacuous script.…
Review: ERA’s THE LAST SHOW ON EARTH is an Entertaining Off-Kilter Comedy
The Last Show on Earth is an off-kilter comedy that is as quirky as it is entertaining.

Review: THE MERCY SEAT at St. Louis Actors’ Studio is a Taut Post 9/11 Drama Steeped in Intimate Realism
The Mercy Seat is a voyeuristic look at less-than-stellar people who contemplate taking advantage of a dire situation for their own selfish motives. Director John Pierson tells a compelling but uncomfortable story of self-centered opportunism. Actors Franklin Killian and Kelly Schneider inhabit flaw…
Review: THE COLOR PURPLE at The Black Rep is a Satisfying Production
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: CONFETTI KIDS at The Chapel
Confetti Kids addresses a serious health crisis. The contaminated Coldwater Creek has been associated with increased cancer risks and premature mortality. Aurora Behlke’s script effectively examines the risks associated with nuclear research and the safe handling of nuclear waste. Behlke’s play …
