...Doritos: Textbook. To put the nail in the coffin, the handsome drink machine offers “Fruit20,” a beverage which ironically defies the laws of nature. Emerson: What would Ralph Waldo Emerson get if confronted with the choices offered by the modern vending machine? This classic snack assortment would certainly elicit some difficult quandaries. Knowing him, he’d probably bring a packed lunch, but in the end he’d just be eating his words, followed by a nice thick slice of Humble Pie. But wait, he can’t eat?...

Directors Nowski, Beth McLeod, Jen H. Rugani ’07, Amy Stebbins ’07, and Cat P. Walleck ’06 injected the familiar material of female suffering and pleasure with new, poignant Harvard-based stories of trans-gender youths. Produced by Rebecca L. Eshbaugh ’07, Kristen D. Lozada ’07, and Erinn M. M. Wattie ’06, the show ran from...
