...EVICTED last week from Dunster House, and it wasn't pretty. I was a squatter in I-entry--living with just a few clothes, a bedspread and a pillow. I was busy writing for The Crimson's Commencement issues. I figured that when dorm crew came, I would tidy my stuff on my bed and leave...
Vicki, who moved to Santa Fe 14 years ago, makes almost all of the masks and costumes used in the performance. She describes her favorite apparitions this way: "The Jester is a bedspread, some socks and curtains, beads and bells.

Mom (Jobeth Williams), early 30s, keeps house, sings TV beer jingles and tucks in her son under a Star Wars bedspread. If this seems the derisory stuff of sitcoms, it is not. "I never mock suburbia," Spielberg declares. "My life comes from there." He likes these people and communicates that affection. Faced with balky children or a restless preternatural presence, the parents demonstrate their go-with-the-flow resilience. And when...
