Review: NEVERMORE: THE IMAGINARY LIFE AND MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF EDGAR ALLAN POE at Tower Groves Abbey

Filled with visual and verbal nods to the writer’s life and work, Nevermore: The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe combines the biographical with the allegorical, allowing audiences to experience the angst of Edgar’s life in rich detail.
Review: RUTHLESS! at Tower Grove Abbey

Ruthless! is a snarling commentary on the trappings of fame. Loaded with laughs, over-the-top characters and plenty of high drama, it is a quirky and quick on its feet musical loaded with gleeful shenanigans.

Review: INTO THE WOODS at The New Jewish Theatre is an Immersive Enchanted Fairytale

Cinderella sings “I wish” as the opening lyric in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s INTO THE WOODS. I wish that every performance of the current production of INTO THE WOODS at The New Jewish Theatre could be seen by a sold-out house, and that they’d be forced to extend the run due to audience demand. It is just that good.

Review: Tesseract Theatre Company's THE MAD ONES Tells a Moving Coming of Age Story

Tesseract’s THE MAD ONES connects with the audience to tell Sam’s moving coming of age story despite a few problems along the way.
