When Beth Steele's 18-month-old daughter Megan got expelled from day care for ignoring teachers and fighting with other kids, Steele knew it was time to see a professional. But while Megan soon got help from a child psychiatrist, Steele, a single mom and owner of a dog-grooming business in Houston, found the therapists she saw to deal with her own stress either insincere or judgmental. When a friend suggested online therapy, Steele decided to give it a try. Now, each Tuesday night, she logs on to the website concernedcounseling.com for a 50-min. session...

The four attendants are alternately hilarious and touching; Rakhe and Haynie are deliciously over-the-top throughout Act I, and both Asnes and Goulet...
...years, believed himself to be Emperor Henry IV of Germany. As the play opens, his one-time paramour Matilda (Karin Alexander '02) comes to visit "Henry" in his grotesquely medieval living-space. She brings her friend Baron Belcredi (Tom Price '02), her daughter Frida (Marianne Cook '02) and a psychiatrist (Matthew Carlson) who intends to study "Henry" and attempt to cure him. Matilda and Belcredi explain the scenario to the doctor and to us before entering Henry's masquerade along with the madman's attendants (Luvh Rakhe '01, Michael Katherine Haynie '99, Mimi Asnes '02, Morgan Goulet '00). After observing...
