...voyeuristic soap opera. Though we weren't able to watch every episode (due to the lack of cable TV in our dorm rooms and, perhaps, the business of our own real worlds), we were able to keep up with the adventures of Montana, Syrus, Genesis, Elka, Jason, Kameelah and Sean by catching the occasional show over the summer and Thanksgiving break and, of course, by reading the media reviews of the show the Boston Globe summed up as "generic and unmemorable."

Against such a solid field of performances, though, the show's standouts come from several of the purely comedic roles. Jason R. Mills '99 delivers the show's most delightful comic performance as Pooh-Bah, the state advisor who has taken upon himself all of Titipu's offices except that of executioner.

A full complement of directors, one American and two Japanese, make this a true learner for those whose schoolbook days are mercifully over...
Kacholia laughs off the Clooney suggestion, but is quick to remark that "he's a cutie." Jason S. Cassidy '98 and Carrie A. Jablonksi '98, who are the co-chairs of the committee which is selecting the speaker, would not comment on specific names, a policy which was also the standard line from other committee members. Diane Jellis, who works in the Classes and Reunions Office, did not return repeated phone calls inquiring about the selection process...
