Review: Repertory Theatre's 'Red' Launches City's Theater Season

SAINT LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
By Judith Newmark

MISSOURI - Over the weekend, the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis cracked opened its 45th season with a powerhouse production of "Red," John Logan's Tony-winning drama about the great abstract expressionist Mark Rothko. It was as if Steven Woolf, the theater's artistic director as well as the director of this production, had decided to remind us, "See? Here's what you come to the theater for." One of the pleasures of theater is its ability to take us to places we can't go, places where we'll hear conversations worth listening to among people with something to say. With "Red," Logan, Woolf, Dykstra and Carlson give us that kind of theater. [link]
