...have control over that; my subconscious does the writing. And I like it better than I would have, I think. It's got some stories in there that are a little heavy for holiday reading. But holidays are a heavy, heavy time. We make light of them with our red and green and our stockings and candy canes, but people think heavy thoughts over the holidays because that's when you're thinking about family. Are we close? Or are we not as close as other people? I think [the season] warrants more introspection than it's usually given...
...known about them. On a recent afternoon, however, I actually met several. There was Amir, a reedy 17-year-old who sneaks out to the protests without telling his parents; Asif, a muscular 24-year-old rickshaw driver; and Muddasar, 20, with soft blue eyes and a dark red bullet wound in his left shin.

When Kass isn’t on stage providing comedic action, Reinert takes her place there with spunk and energy. Portraying the playful and mischievous cupid, Reinert is garbed in a mismatched white and red-checkered shirt and pants, with a pair of aviator shades to match. Not only are her arias beautifully sung, but she is constantly in character, whether snuggling next to the sleeping Semele after Jupiter has left her, or serving drinks in Solo cups to the cast while they sing joyfully about everything working out the way it should have. This, the final scene, is especially...
