by David Clarke - February 17, 2013 Direction by Jennifer Dean keeps this Texas style 'Beauty and the Beast' parable clipping brightly along during the first act, which is pleasantly bubbly and tender.

BWW Reviews: Shakespeare Festival St. Louis Presents Solid OTHELLO
by Chris Gibson - June 10, 2012 When Iago talks about 'Jealousy…the green-eyed monster,' he might as well be referring to himself.
