...most striking change is the influx of new creative voices and stylistic experiments. Children's theaters started in the 1930s as amateur community projects, mainly doing adaptations of fairy tales and classic kids' stories. More professional children's theaters started sprouting in the 1960s and '70s in cities such as Minneapolis and Seattle, and children's playwrights began to tackle more serious social issues, from adjusting to a stepmother (Suzan Zeder's Step on a Crack) to the Holocaust (James Still's And Then They Came for Me).

Both men are in their 70s and not in the best of health, and the divergent interest groups in the West Bank and Gaza may limit their ability to cut deals. If anything, their tenure would hold the ring for various younger contenders to stake their own claims. Men such as Gaza security chieftain Mohammed Dahlan and his former West Bank counterpart Jibril Rajoub may have...
...easy enthusiasm, his preaching of what he practices, is an oddity in a scene populated by dorky eccentrics who snicker at their own work even as they labor over it, Payne has at least one thing solidly in common with other indie auteurs: he loves the 70s...
