A sharply funny new play by emerging playwright Annie Baker, Circle Mirror Transformation follows five people through a summer of “creative drama” in their small town’s adult acting class. Led by their bohemian acting coach, the five experiment with harmless theatre games that unexpectedly lead to poignant discoveries about themselves and each other. At turns surprisingly funny and subtly insightful, this revealing play reminds us why theatre is the most human of all arts.
BABY tells the story in words and music of three couples on a university campus as they deal with the painful, rewarding and agonizingly funny consequences of this universal experience. There are the college students, barely at the beginning of their adult lives; the 30-somethings, having trouble conceiving but determined to try; and the middle aged parents, looking forward to seeing their last child graduate from college when a night of unexpected passion lands them back where they started. A Delightful Musical Comedy.
If American Anger manifested in the body, what would the symptoms be? Hallucinations of the American Dream? A trickle down economy in the back of the throat? A rash, a fever – a red, white and blueness? In this hysterical and frightening journey, Harry and his family fight the disease and ask themselves – What is my anger doing to me, and how can I do it to them?
Joanna McClelland Glass’s play centers on five couples in the Detroit neighborhood of Palmer Park following the race riots of 1967. Their integrated lives are threatened when the high performing neighborhood school is forced to accept children from an adjacent working-class neighborhood. Racial harmony and friendships are changed forever with very sad and very real consequences. History Museum-Co-Production with the Black Rep
Paula Vogel’s Pulitzer Prize winning play about a girl named Li'l Bit who gets driving lessons (and a whole lot more she didn't bargain for) from her Uncle Peck, and how their relationship progresses from familial friendship to something darker. The comic drama is told in flashback by the now grown woman as we learn what she learned about exploitation, control and forgiveness.
I started in St. Louis theatre back in 1995 when I became co-founder of The NonProphet Theater Company. I have since been honoured to work with the best of the best and the cream of the crop. I have performed with The NP’s, The Orange Girls, The New Jewish Theatre, HotCity and HotHouse, Mustard Seed, ACT Inc, ECHO, Shakespeare Festival and several others. I have shared the stage with some of THE most talented actors in the world and been directed by true visionaries. Being a part of the current community has been very exciting. Watching the growth and local support warms my soul and gives me hope. I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
It’s wonderful.

10 Questions:
1. What is your favorite theatrical memory?
Onstage: that’s tough. I truly have many. I’ve shared the stage with some pretty remarkable actors. “Laughter on the 23rd Floor” was a great one. So much talent –true comics- in that show. I had a blast. And “Wonder of the World” was pure joy. So was “Crumble” with ECHO.
Off stage: there are many there as well. There are some actors here in town that have gifted me some amazing moments as an audience member. Michelle Hand tops that list. She blows me away. Every time.
2. When did you know you were going in to the theatre?
I was always involved. Since I was six, I have been performing in some capacity. But in 1994, I went back to school to major in theatre. I’ve never looked back. It feeds me -- literally and spiritually.
3. What does St. Louis Theatre mean to you?
It’s home.
4. What’s in your fridge right now?
Berries for Lola, margarita makings & beer for the big girls in the house, Greek yogurt, pet food, soy milk, tomatoes, hot dogs, turkey breast slices and I’m sure a science experiment is hiding in there somewhere.
5. What was the first car you drove?
That I drove? Legally? That’s difficult to say. Illegally? A 1964 ½ baby blue Mustang with a black ragtop. So awesome.
6. What’s the last book you read?
I just finished re-reading “The Last Night of Ballyhoo” (the Play) and am currently reading “The Portable Dorothy Parker” that my daughter bought for me.
7. What’s your favorite St. Louis restaurant?
My house. I love cooking and am pretty darned good at it. I also really enjoy Everest Cafe & Bar on Manchester in the Grove and Wasabi Sushi (either location)
8. If you weren’t in the theatre, what would you be doing?
I’d probably consider either going back into teaching or back into restaurant management. Or being a Sugar Daddy’s arm candy.
9. What is the most played song or artist on your iPod?
Right now Sara Bareilles, OK GO & the Beatles. But usually it’s just on shuffle.
10. What is your guiltiest guilty pleasure?
Cadbury Creme Eggs. Seriously. I’m addicted. It’s a good thing “they’re only here for a short time.”
It’s a hot summer evening in St. Louis - air-conditioners are blasting, TV’s are blaring, and tempers are as feverish as the weather. An electrical blackout and some cool water bring together an unlikely community in this musical re-telling of the Gospel of Matthew. This production focuses on the harmonies of the music accompanied by acoustic instruments.
Reconnect with Mark Twain’s incomparable classic in a magical new production, perfect for the whole family. In idyllic 1840s Missouri, Tom and his friends revel in all that is grand and glorious in childhood. This mischievous rascal can charm his Aunt Polly, save the town from Injun Joe and win the heart of fair Becky Thatcher, all in the course of one small-town day.

An annual Holiday tradition in many cities, BLACK NATIVITY: A Holiday Celebration is a testament to the power and joy of the season. BLACK NATIVITY tells the story of the Nativity through a colorful montage of song, dance, poetry, and Scripture.
Nothing says the holidays like tropical weather and three paroled convicts! In this warm and witty tale set in French Guiana on Christmas Eve, a felonious triumvirate intervenes in the lives of an innocent family who is perched on the brink of financial ruin. Proficient in the illicit skills of theft, forgery, extortion and yes, even murder, these unlikely heroes arrive in timely fashion to remind us all of what is truly most important—confusing our long-standing moral convictions of what is right and wrong. An old fashioned and wonderfully crafted fable to take home for the holidays!
