That The Pitchfork Disney, which played last weekend in the Loeb Experimental Theater, presents two exceptions to the rule is thus an understandably unnerving prospect. The play takes as its protagonists Presley and Haley Stray (Matthew D. Johnson ’02 and Catherine B. Gowl ’02), two 28-year-old siblings stuck in a permanent childhood. Gowl’s Haley is the first to grab the audience’s attention, shifting back and forth between petty child and fussy matron in a fine schizophrenic act. The production yields no funnier image than the pajama...

Presley in particular is overburdened with thematic importance, and this production additionally sprinkles Presley-as-Christ imagery throughout.

...NCAA title (1995). Three others have pulled the double feat: Louisville's Darrell Griffth (1980), Kansas' Danny Manning (1988) and Duke's Christian Laettner (1992). Michael Jordan was named the Wooden Award winner in 1984, two years after his North Carolina team won the national championship. UNLV's Larry Johnson won the Wooden Award in 1991, the year after the Runnin' Rebels were shocked by Duke in their bid to repeat as champions...
