Review: THE BIRDS at Albion Theatre is a Foreboding Psychological Thriller
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 …
Review: 2 PIANOS 4 HANDS at Loretto-Hilton Center

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

Review: CLUE at Fox Theatre, St. Louis
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: 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. But at its core, Come From Away is a love letter to the lovely and generous residents of Gander who put their…
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
