...points to take a 1-0 lead in the match. After a second game in which the Tigers controlled most of the way, Harvard jumped out to an early lead of 14-4 in the third frame. But the Tigers battled back to a 19-19 tie, setting the stage for a tense finish. Ties at 26, 28, 29 and 30 points kept it close before two straight Princeton points clinched the match. Sophomore outside hitter Laura Mahon led the Crimson with 18 kills on .350 hitting while notching 10 digs on defense. PENN 3, HARVARD 1 After winning...
...more sentimental than soulful, don’t give us more insight. Yet the actors in this production portray the characters skillfully, and the imaginative use of the Ex’s space helps to tie the show together. Both Brener and Shanahan are capable singers with strong energetic stage presence. Shanahan seems truly lovelorn, showing sharp but plausible shifts between wistfulness, anger, and ambivalence both through her physical acting and her emotive voice. Brener, who is more animated, counterbalances her overt sadness. Jamie is full of hubris, but he also has a charming frankness about him, and Brener?...
...mountains. Christina Baldwin’s dynamic portrayal of Carmen made it easy to see how one woman could drive a man to such impetuosity. Sensual and confident, Baldwin imbued Carmen with a magnetism that was as irresistible to the spectator as it was to the men on stage.

...DIED. HAROLD LEVENTHAL, 86, pre-eminent folk impresario of the last half-century; in New York City. Among Leventhal's credentials: pushing a scruffy 21-year-old Bob Dylan on stage for his first major concert-hall appearance; bringing Jacques Brel and Ravi Shankar to American audiences; and representing, at one time or another, every major figure of the 1950s-and-'60s folk-music revival, including Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary. A producer of Alice's Restaurant and other movies, he was the inspiration for the central character of Irving Steinbloom in the 2003 film spoof A Mighty...
...look closely, you can see what Broderick and Lane get from each other. Take Broderick: with his permanently boyish features, his bite-sized stature, his slightly adenoidal voice, he's the quintessence of the light comic actor. But Lane sees something else in him: a sly, versatile mimic, with stage smarts that won him a Tony the first time he ever set foot on Broadway (in Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs, when he was 21). He pushes Broderick to let that side of him show. "He's very spontaneous," Lane says of his co-star. "He's more improvisational than...
