Best Local Theater Production

Dinner With Friends

Published on September 26, 2001

Hands down, the best production mounted locally was the St. Louis Repertory Studio Theatre's Dinner with Friends, Steve Woolf's flawless interpretation of Donald Margulies' Pulitzer Prize-winning play. This was theater at its best: no gimmicks or blockbuster sets, just a great, close-to-the bone script and four talented actors in a poignant, funny and realistic snapshot of modern relationships. The Rep Studio also scored with the quirky Women Who Steal; upstairs, Inherit the Wind was an old-fashioned barn-burner of a play. Also top-notch were the St. Louis Black Repertory Company's searing production of Jitney and the hilarious Popcorn at the HotHouse Theatre.
