There are two startling passages in another new off-Broadway play, the keenly observed if scattershot Sophistry, set on a college campus. One features Austin Pendleton, whose credits stretch back to Fiddler on the Roof and Oh, Dad, Poor Dad. The other belongs to Anthony Rapp, 21. When they meet as teacher and student in a sexual encounter that degenerates into a harassment charge, Rapp's blend of rocketing energy and terror turned bravado rules the stage...

There are the two nerdy guys, Mike (Adam Gold-berg) and Tony (Anthony Rapp), who spend the movie philosophizing and screwing up courage to engage in appropriate senior activities, and the nice, shy girl, Sabrina (Christin Hinojosa). For the purposes of the movie they're all like the people you went to high school with, even if they really aren...
