Return To The Rep
My wife and I returned to the St. Louis Rep for a fun production of “Dial M For Murder.” Here’s why we hope the theater is headed back in the right direction after some missteps in recent years.

At the 1995 Tony Awards, Nathan Lane and Gregory Hines performed a medley of songs normally sung by women in classic Broadway musicals.

I’m happy to see that the woman who wrote a play I raved about last year has just been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
