Picture yourself. It's a clear afternoon in September, and you're standing on a brick patio behind the Loeb Drama Center at the kick-off barbecue of the fall drama season. On a day like today, you could really believe. And you want to believe, you really do, that these people want you. That there is a place for you and your tight-curled hair or your Asian eyes in Harvard theater. You start to believe...
...Second Coming. Meet Jeffery E. Fowler '01, who will play Jesus in this fall's production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Not that the two are one and the same: Fowler is the first to admit that he is no celebrity (or divinity, for that matter), and it's clear that this whole Jesus thing has not gone to his head.

We need to publicly make clear that we stand in solidarity with our janitors...
...confuse the audience even more. Dwayne comes to believe that he is a character in one of Kilgore's novels, and this realization sparks a series of violent outbursts. This mindless violence is followed by another epiphany, in which he realizes...something. What that something is isn't exactly clear, and is open to interpretation. All we know is that Dwayne finds his alienated wife and son and resolves things with them (in a rare moment of clarity in which he realizes his love for them), after which he gets carted off to jail. And then the movie ends...
