...ongoing issue of whether Black Greek organizations have the right to exist and in what context they have the right to do so is moot. That they do exist is a reality.

...would be easy to dismiss Miss Julie as just another battle-of-the-sexes play and forget that August Strindberg's compression of dramatic form, use of prosaic, everyday language and intense psychological probing were innovations a century ago. Fortunately, a talented North House cast restores the play's power...
