...Theatron is as close to total theatre as any newly-born essentially collegiate group could hope to be. People have not said, "Well, I'm an actor and therefore I do not help construct the set," or "I'm a technical person and don't bring that tube of makeup near me."

...that you have the setting, you must construct a plot around the basic love-story theme of boy meeting girl- which is merely the skeleton.

Because it burns its fuel more efficiently than other engines, the 747 is virtually free of the greasy smoke that trails ordinary jets on takeoff like ink from a frightened squid. Its engine is only half as loud as a 707's, though...
