New Jewish Theatre's current production of FIRST DATE features a terrific cast in sublime comedic performances. Director Lee Ann Mathews and her company of seven clever actors fearlessly dive into physical comedy to create an entertaining show that is light, zany, and funny. It certainly isn’t a masterpiece of modern musical theater, but “FIRST DATE is a delectably fun and entertaining little diversion with a lot of laughs. 

Those are just a few of the fun things to do around Cape G. I really do like our little college town. It’s been a lot of fun exploring.

“The Butcher of Baraboo” is a grim dark comedy that spirals into complete brutality. The characters are willing to go to extreme measures to protect themselves and their secrets. The is no familial loyalty among this group of vicious characters. The West End Players Guild has staged a cutting production of a play that is gratuitous in savage barbarity. 

The Fabulous Fox will present a FREE special event to celebrate what would have been Stan Kann’s 100th birthday. The Fabulous Fox will host a FREE organ concert on the legendary Mighty Wurlitzer. Learn how to attend.

“Don’t Be a Hero, Thank You” is a one-act play that takes a humorous look at the challenges faced by the fictional Kate following her release from prison for a felony conviction after robbing a bank. The narrative is comprised mostly as a single-person monologue that is interrupted by phone calls from friends. Leemon’s smartly written script builds empathy through laughter.Hazel McIntire’s “Go Before I Do” also deals with complex emotions but by using dramatic storytelling instead of satire. Like Leemon’s script, McIntire uses monologue, combined with dialogue between characters, to manage generational grief stemming from the loss of a spouse and parents.

Credit director Brittanie Gunn for Tesseract Theatre’s extraordinary production of ANASTASIA. Gunn’s vision and her collaboration with her actors and technical teams has created an extravagant production with outstanding performances, sensational singing, exhilarating dancing, and absorbing storytelling. 

ELEPHANTS' GRAVEYARD is a lovely piece of writing. It doesn’t wallow in sadness or pathos. It looks death in the eye and laughs. Corbett, Meyer, and Rausch have given the world premiere of ELEPHANTS' GRAVEYARD a beautiful staging. Williamson’s salubrious script proves that when facing even the gravest situations laughter is a pretty damn effective medicine.

It’s a headlong dive into a fiercely black, wildly comic nightmare.  It’s a venture into betrayal and menace and sex and chaos, and into the unplumbed depths of the psyche.  It’s Wolf Kings, the Young Liars’ remarkable new piece now playing at The Chapel.

Internationally produced playwright and St. Louis native Abigail Jensen will present her acclaimed Sex Diaries of an Ex-Catholic at Greenfinch Theater and Dive.

“Wolf Kings” is more performance art than a play. The snappy banter is often witty and funny. The vivacious movement is dance-like. There are elements that are peculiar, comedic, and dramatic. It condemns predatory behavior though spectacle by granting victims strength. Its thought-provoking message is cloaked and shrouded in unusual absurdity with a final scene that is oddly disconnected. “Wolf Kings” will prompt both post-performance discussion and a bit of head scratching because its narrative gets messy and a little lost along the way. 

Celebrate Stan Kann's 100th birthday with a free organ concert and tour at The Fabulous Fox Theatre.

It's a splendid production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s 'H.M.S. Pinafore', and it brims with glorious music, wonderful voices, and bright, delightful, timeless comedy.
