...funny thing is, nothing’s really changed since then,” says Jake Barnett, a cast member, pinpointing the appeal of “This is Our Youth” for today’s audiences. Barnett, a senior at Brandeis College, is traveling to Harvard to play Warren, a troubled and spineless teenager and one of the play’s three characters. Jason L. Glick, GSE ’05, also the director, plays Warren’s counterpart, Dennis, and Sarah E. Stein ’08 takes on the role of Jessica...

Westfeldt has the requisite innocent allure, and Gregg Edelman, as Ruth's eventual beau, is a cutie with oodles of charm. From the rich supporting cast, I choose Ken Barnett (who plays a tour guide, a magazine staffer, a cop and several other roles) as my star of the future; he's got lots of character personality and the ingratiating comic sense of a young John Astin. The company of dancers executes Marshall's maneuvers with a vitality and precision...
