...Lowell could not have been clearer that Houses with distinct characters were exactly what he did not have in mind. With respect to the populations of the various Houses, he stated in 1928, "the division should not be based upon differences in the subjects studied or the career the members intended to enter;...on the contrary, men interested in various fields of thought should be thrown together with a view of promoting a broad and humane culture...So far as subjects of concentration, pecuniary means, and residence in different parts of the country are concerned, each House should...
Ticknor Lounge is furnished with loud but comfortable armchairs--anything would have been an improvement over the previous furniture, which seemed to have been made up of items collected at various rummage sales.

When not occupied with his feminine side, Green breaks down the traditional audience/performer boundaries by involving everyone in a "workshoping Ophelia" wherein the crowd chants the various mantras of her id, ego and superego in preparation for her dramatic demise. If there is a prop to be used, Green's got it and is doing his damnedest to involve the audience members as well...
