...form. By representing an imaginative setting far removed from any ordinary view of everyday life, or by using paint to interpret a subject in very personal terms he can force his viewer to make an inventive leap into the emotional context of the painting. The artist can also use visual illusions of space to encourage this inventive leap. A frame, for example, gives the picture an illusion of infinite space behind the picture frame, as if the frame were a window looking into the painter's imaginative world. In short, the viewer understands that the artist imaginatively recreates a setting...

...most of the music and lyrics, except for some excellent parodies, were perfunctory, the staging and dance (under Director Copper Coggins and head choreographer Jane Michaels) was lively and funny. Most of the best jokes were visual. Shaun Murphy, as Chairman of the Memory Cells of the machine, stumbled onstage supported by a wobbly staff to deliver a glaze-eyed listing of the foibles of Eastern men's schools (this number is a feature of the Junior Show which usually has the same level of tradition and humor to it as the Hasty Pudding's kick-line...
