...follows three arms of the same family. There’s Jay (Ed O’Neill), remarried to a much younger Colombian beauty, Gloria (Sofía Vergara), with a sensitive preteen son; his daughter Claire (Julie Bowen), a stay-at-home mom with three kids and a well-meaning man-child husband, Phil (Ty Burrell); and his son Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), a gay man who has just adopted a Vietnamese baby with his partner Cameron (Eric Stonestreet...

Wagley ’11, Co-President of True Love Revolution—an undergraduate organization which promotes premarital abstinence on campus—expressed her group’s distaste for the production in an e-mail: “[This play] trivializes the legacy of women who have achieved great things with their intellect...
