...typical with his obnoxiously squeaky voice, but he provides a solid performance in the second act. Jakim plays both an energetic little boy and a conservative divorcee well. Rob D. Salas ’08 is almost aggravating in his colonizing patriarchal role yet manages to portray a young girl with wonderful liveliness and characterization. Alex R. Breaux ’09 provides an excellent anchor to the ridiculousness in the first act and continues to hold attention during his monologues about casual gay sex.

...called the dispatcher, but when the deputy started to talk, the phone was taken over by the Texas Rangers. The raid had begun. It had been a tightly held secret, known only to the sheriff. Court papers indicated the action had been prompted by a call from a young girl to a child abuse hotline - the state has yet to confirm they have located her and an FLDS spokesman says she does not exist.

...lists of case numbers and names that serve as a cryptogram to the story. The public notice informs the parents of the 416 children taken by the TDFPS that they are being sued by the state - the 136 listed lawsuits begin with case "2779, in the interest of baby girl Jessop #26600765" and run on, some listing children by their full names, others with just a first name ("in the interest of Freddie #26609430, a child") and some with no names at all, ending with a catchall lawsuit "in the interest of 330 children from the YFZ Ranch."
