...other three actresses, Ravenal, Maggie-Meg Reed and Caroline Rody, all act competently, though without the near complete control over their characters that Woods manages. Ravenal, as Erica, the neurotic, college-boy-chasing, self-appointed court jester neatly portrays some of the ambiguities facing the nubile but nervous seventeen-year-old. But she skirts triteness when she sings a eulogy for her dead grandmother in one of the two "heavy" songs of the act.

Recalls Reed: "It was just fun to see that play work--it felt really good...
...problem of depth surfaced at the Ivy tournament, especially in the crucial Saturday afternoon semi-final contest against Brown. Harvard could afford to go with only two lines--Huber's and the combination of Lauren Norton, Reed and Sue Yunick--while the "Pandas" went with three...
