...there are many electric moments in the play. Set designer John Gordan '01 places Shepard's characters in what resembles a series of stacked prison cells, and it is in this segmented, sequestered reality--under the blinding, white lights of Matt Denman '00--that they must fight to find companionship and solace. The difficulty of coming together in such antiseptic enclosures makes the play's moments of human contact, or near contact, all the more heart-stopping. And it makes the play's final image, an image of ultimate loneliness, seem all the more sad for its inevitability...

The jury "sent a message," says Jamie Court, director of Consumers for Quality Care, a California-based watchdog group. Not just...
...lonely pups, day-care centers provide companionship and hone the all-important social skills needed to play nicely--with humans and other canines. "She loves this place," says Michelle Bouchard, a New York City theater producer who regularly brings her dog to the day-care facility at the New York Dog Spa & Hotel in Manhattan--a growing business, with services ranging from pedicures to massage. "The irony is I got the dog so that my only child wouldn't be lonely. But now the dog's lonely when Alex goes to school...
