While the show focused on unconventional pieces the traditional numbers had their own special spark. Mai'a Davis '99 and James Carmichael '01 gave an exquisite performance of the stressful Grand pas de deux from Don Quixote, a highlight of the first act, and the medley of familiar Gershwin tunes entitled "I Got Rhythm" simply shone, endearingly nostalgic...
...years to improve conditions for African Americans. One of his greatest contributions was the 1966 wake-up call to black Americans, saying that they are "a mighty people" who can and must determine and define their own destiny. As young men, Kwame--then known as Stokely Carmichael--and I worked together in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. We honestly felt that we could topple the racism and segregation that had stifled--and continues to stifle--the aspirations of generations of African Americans. I learned much from Kwame about courage, commitment, strategy and being uncompromising in the pursuit of revolutionary social...
...production features a great deal of physical acting and humor, and this style works most of the time. For instance, Oronte's (Nabil Kassam '01) exaggerated, pompous style keeps the audience in stitches and coincides well with his ridiculous literary aspirations.

Carmichael maintains a terrific energy level, and constantly sends his high-strung character into wild fits of obsession and indignation. Kirk Hanson '99 follows close behind as Basque...

Unquestioning faith in that idea led Lewis from his family's sharecropper farm in Alabama to the front lines of the battle for racial justice during the 1960s; he never flinched as he suffered arrests...
...frustration anddespair. It is wonderful to watch his anguishedlooks of confusion suddenly take coherence as hecomes up with another cockamamie scheme to dighimself out of the hole he is unwittinglyenlarging. Smith's innocent, if somewhatslow-witted naivete plays well against thebackground of madmen into which she is unwittinglydropped. And Carmichael all but exudesgood-nature; his portrayal of the delightfullycorrupt bellboy is such that would charm the pantsoff any man... err...woman...
