...even just the confused emotions that often result from unprotected, casual sex can act as a ruinous deterrent to one’s college career. We, along with our families, have all sacrificed so much to get to Harvard. Why jeopardize our health, studies or sanity for something as trivial as random play? The attitude of young adults needs to change so that sex is not seen as compulsory before graduation, and so that those who abstain are not mocked for their decision.

Despite the trivial nature of its material, this production of Zorba does a remarkable job of engaging its audience, no doubt aided by its remarkable facilities. The North Shore Music Theatre is a theater-in-the-round about a half-hour outside of Boston with about 1,800 seats and technical capabilities that are staggering. Hydraulic lifts, spectacular lights and fluid scene changes help keep the show moving, and the audience pointing at whatever new lighting fixture was dropping, rising or spinning...
