...Mather House (Jean-Paul Carlhian, the man behind New Quincy and Leverett Towers) designed it as both a warmly embracing "community" building and a giant, empty gallery space meant to be filled with art from the University's museums--a perfectly rendered balance between private comfort and public display. For financial reasons, the Unversity's art was never showcased, turning much of the House into an impersonal blank canvas (artes interruptus). Nowhere did this seem more of a problem than the dining hall, which was to encapsulate the gallery feel of the House while functioning as the focal point...
Almost everyone familiar with Unix knows that typing "who" at the fas% prompt will bring up a list of users on a given login machine. Typing "w" will display that same list, but it will also display what each of those users is doing at that very moment. We've all done it at one point. Those who haven't will most likely run to their computers...
...they come in the front doors, they pass a big display case holding a new mural that is under construction by some seniors. THE THINGS WE VALUE AND BELIEVE IN, it says in bright letters, with white clouds and smiling kids made of construction paper and all the students' names and thoughts pasted on in little fortune-cookie strips of revelation.

Without such stellar performances it is likely that scenes or elements of confusion would lose the attention of viewers, thus making the play ineffective. This is especially applicable to Augustine, who entrances the audience with his sincere display of emotion in an extremely complex and confusing second act. As the main voice of the widow in the first act, Kate Agresta's ability to dazzle audiences, even when delivering somber testimony, becomes apparent. Her impeccable delivery is a triumph in itself, but the emotion with which she does so is powerful...
...more often than he criticizes the politics of record companies, he's criticizing the salary they pay him. More problematic is the subtext of misogyny that permeates his work. While it was minimized in the wake of Maxinquaye, it makes an unhappy rebound on Juxtapose and was prominently on display in his inter-song patter and several of the newer songs, including "She Said" and "I Like the Girls." The audience at Avalon, however, paid none of these any attention. Undoubtedly, this is partly because Tricky is a terrible enunciator: in the wall of sound created by the band, nearly...
