Swann graduated in 2002 as a newly minted cognitive scientist, but the job he finally got a few months later was as a waiter in Atlanta. He waited tables for the next year and a half. It proved to be a blessing in disguise. Swann says he learned more real-world skills working in restaurants than he ever did in school. "It taught me how to deal with people. What you learn as a waiter is how to treat people fairly, especially when they're in a bad situation." That's especially valuable in his current job as an insurance...

...pompous young politician, Mr. Willy, despite hardly ever exiting the stage. The English born actor enters the stage with a gusto and zeal for theatrics, adding a needed edge to the appearance of a cast full of untrained passionate performers. The role that supporting characters like a nosy old waiter (Alex N. Chase-Levenson ’08), a provocatively funny nurse (Jamie Renee Smith ’08), and a suspicious hotel manager who possesses an ability to walk into a guest’s room at the worst moment possible (Brock W. Duke ’06) play...
