...that I see truth as being central to any discussion about pedagogy. Therefore, I begin my teaching with what I call the three-fold synthesis of truth: I let my students know that I perceive the world in a particular manner and because I am a social being I possess certain values.

Secondly, I remind my students that I am not the sole respository of the truth, that I am no guru to be deified nor do I possess all of the answers. Truth, as I see it, is an approximation.

...Henry, Charles Repole moves with the erratic precision of a broken watch spring, but his tap and soft-shoe dances possess the style that Walter Mitty's dreams are made of. He looks astonishingly like Eddie Cantor, the show's original star, but his manner is endearingly cuddlesome, rather like Joel Grey's. Choreographer Dan Siretta's dance numbers blaze across the stage like prairie fires, and the smashing chorus girls are a bouquet of red, red roses...
