Director Scott Goldsmith describes Out of the Reach of Children as an evening of "musical impressions" rather than a musical. The original five-woman show offers little plot and little dancing. But it does offer a beautiful array of songs by Cornelia Ravenal, whose music first charmed us in last year's Riches at Lowell House.

...basic problem is that Harvard University doesn't provide any low-cost day-care centers for university mothers. The fees are phenomenally high," Cornelia F. Worsley '79, said.
