Staging Old Masters Extended Until May 10!

By popular demand, we’ve added four performances to the run of Staging Old Masters: Saturday, May 9, at 6:30pm and 7:30pm, and Sunday, May 10, at 1:30pm and 2:30pm.

Also: we’ve made a habit of ending every performance with a Q&A, where audience members can ask questions of actors and Staging Old Masters staff. For our final performance, we’re extending this into a full panel discussion—comprising actors, staff, and Staging Old Masters’s organizers—at 3:30pm after Sunday’s show, May 10.

As previously, tickets are free but only available at the door. We’re advising interested audiences to arrive a half hour before the first show of the day to ensure admission.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the performances!

Interviews With the Actors

Backstage at last weekend’s performances, I interviewed a dozen of the actors. I asked them about the employment skills they felt they’d gained from Staging Old Masters, the surprises of working on the show, and something audiences might not know about them personally.

Staging Old Masters in the News

Staging Old Masters is making waves in the local press. The St. Louis American, the region’s premier African-American news, entertainment, and business paper, featured this April 22 writeup (including an interview with actor Travis D.). And Judith Newmark, theater critic for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, caught a show last week, interviewed actors and staff, and wrote this lovely piece.
