Spinney had no trouble adapting his boyish voice to the role of Big Bird, but he said finding a voice for Oscar--the Muppet who was originally intended to be purple and first appeared in a shade of orange--was more difficult...
...school years feeling alone and alienated. I had pretty good teen years," he says, while sitting in a Manhattan restaurant, eating what he keeps referring to as "adult food" ("These greens are a little bitter"). "I was short and all, but I wasn't picked on." Now, Sacco, still boyish looking, says he has abandoned most of his belongings and left Portland, Ore., for New York City. He's sleeping on a friend's couch in Brooklyn while attempting to break into the national media and maybe pick up some magazine assignments--covering the wars in Africa, for example...

His lines are among the most poignant and comic in the play. Skeist personifies Wilde's Algy with verve and spirit, charming us with his boyish expressiveness and roguish irony. John Worthing (James Carmichael '01) counteracts the foppish Algy with his serious, pragmatic, truly earnest nature. He is ordinariness manifest: a man who has come of the right age to marry, has a veritable income, a mediocre intellect and a moderate view of politics. Carmichael's performance...
