...then there is nothing but unsophisticated burlesque, a flimsy bit of cold-cut sandwiched between skits and songs of stale humor. It is impossible to tell, from the program, which of the authors from the all-star line-up that wrote the show--Jules Feiffer, John Lennon, Dan Greenburg, Tennessee Williams--goes with which skit.

...older, and even though all those dumb jokes aren't getting any younger either, you can still give them all a second chance in the Winthrop House JCR this weekend. Charlie Brown, despite his advancing years, and despite the fact that newspapers are pushing both him and Jules Feiffer aside in favor of Doonesbury, is still young America's quintessential nebbish, every little boy's and girl's Woody Allen-writ small. Charles M. Schultz's cutesie-pie pop-psychological ponderings have been adapted for the stage by Clark Gesner...
