Review: 12TH ANNUAL LABUTE NEW THEATER FESTIVAL at St. Louis Actors’ Studio
by James Lindhorst - Jul 26, 2026

The 12th Annual LaBute New Theatre Festival features new works by playwrights who hail from Kentucky, New York, Utah, Missouri, and Pennsylvania, plus a new work from festival’s namesake Neil LaBute. This year’s crop of plays, produced by St. Louis Actors’ studio includes three comedies, two comedic dramas, and a more serious piece. Best in Show – Erin Fitzgerald’s witty and pun-filled Junk Drawer, hilariously directed by Eric Dean White, examines what life must be like for a forgotten penny, poker chip, and magic marker stuck in the back of the kitchen junk drawer. White elicits wonderful portrays from this trio of actors whose characters are desperate to escape their forgotten existence. Fitzgerald’s clever tongue-in-cheek script is reminiscent of the forgotten toys in Pixar’s Toy Story movies. The 15-minute laugher has more giggles than many full-length comedies.

Review: LEGALLY BLOND, THE MUSICAL at New Theatre Restauant
by Alan Portner - Jul 19, 2026

You will never see a production of “Legally Blond, the musical” better performed or sung or danced than what you can see currently running at New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park.  This is pure, show-biz entertainment as rendered by this cast and Director/ Choreographer Jerry Jay Cranford and his team.     Based on the popular 2001 film, the musical follows Elle Woods, a fashion-obsessed UCLA sorority president. Elle enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her boyfriend. This begins as a two-hour sugar rush of bubblegum pop, cheerleader enthusiasm, and enough pink to repaint Barbie's Dream House.
