Chuck Lavazzi
Aside from the distinction of being St. Louis’s least-known veteran broadcaster (over four decades and counting), Chuck has been active in theater in St. Louis, Houston, and Terre Haute since the late 1960s. He's been mostly an actor and sound designer, with the occasional foray into directing and cabaret performance. Chuck has also been writing theater and classical music criticism for nearly as long, and is currently the Senior Critic and Editor at St. Louis Arts (https://stlouiarts.substack.com). He was also the former performing arts critic at former radio station KDHX-FM for over three decades. Chuck is a member of the St. Louis Theater Circle and the Music Critics Association of North America,. Here you will find videos from all these areas of endeavor.
