...fact one-act about the younger travails of Messrs. Damon and Affleck, they opted for a space as unlikely, and as good, as any: the Winthrop House Junior Common Room. This is where, Harvardwood lore has it, the illustrious Mr. Damon emoted his last emotion as a babyfaced undergrad actor, just before leaving to begin a now fabled campaign to write and sell Good Will Hunting, a script he began in an English department playwriting class (reportedly...
...economic necessity—playwrights and Dartmouth grads Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers took up the acting ropes when the play first opened at P.S. 122 in New York, to rave reviews that culminated in top honors at the city’s Fringe Festival in 2002. The actor-character gimmick, embodied in the current production by the very talented Quincy Tyler Bernstine as Ben and Jennifer R.

...noble impulses but lousy aim. Chasing Osama bin Laden look-alikes in France and Egypt, the team members inadvertently blow up the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Sphinx and several pyramids. They need a recruit to get inside the terrorist mind, and who better than Gary, a Broadway actor? While Gary infiltrates the insurgents, North Korea's kooky dictator, Kim Jong Il, is making worse mischief. He dupes Alec Baldwin and other leftish members of the Film Actors Guild (FAG, in case you didn't notice) into being co-hosts of a peace conference in Kim's palace. Their criminal...
