When asked about Harvard, McElwee responded, "I love teaching. I was here for six years in the early to mid '80s." He is now back as, "Visiting Lecturer, so called." He describes his students as "extremely bright, highly motivate" with "vivid imagination." These equalities are "juxtaposed with their relative inexperience with film-making" and that "most of them have never touched a piece of film." But they learn quickly, he says. When asked about Harvard'ts supposed lack of support for the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies, McElwee responded: "In many ways how could you say that Harvard...
...designer, conductor and soprano to complement her original cast.

Billed as "the Tommy Tune production of Grease," although Tune's role is unclear, the show has a screaming neon set and vivid, creative lighting. The cast's energy nearly makes up for the inevitability of them looking at least ten years too old to be in high school. Headlined by Rosie O'Donnell as Rizzo, the cast ably fills the cardboard stereotypes: Michelle Blakely as prissy Patty Simcox, Jessica Stone as aimless Frenchy, and Ricky Paull Goldin as tough-guy Danny Zuko...
