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
The Last Show on Earth is an off-kilter comedy that is as quirky as it is entertaining. Joe Taylor has penned and scored an inventive original play that he confidently placed in the innovative hands of Lucy Cashion and her boundary pushing creative teams at ERA. If your up for wildly imaginative the…
Review: APPROPRIATE at St. Louis Tennessee Williams Festival, At COCA
An excellent production of a strong play by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins…
Review: THE LAST SHOW ON EARTH at ERA
A profound and hilarious scattershot examination of AI and the end of the universe. Invigorating! Rejuvenating! Don't miss it!…
Review: LOUISA MAY ALCOTT'S LITTLE WOMEN at Loretto-Hilton Center
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: Rug Burn Theatre’s STAY A WHILE: A BIRTHDAY PLAY IN FOUR SEASONS is a Wildly Imaginative Fanciful Treat
Flynn’s Stay A While is an energetic treat. His irresistibly funny performance filled with exuberant effervescence. Stay A While’s ephemeral joy feels like a child’s giddy anticipation for their birthday party. The poignant bittersweet, post-party wistful comedown shows what an insightful, …
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 …
