The center will have its own staff and programming to better integrate women into the still male-dominated environment. And the women’s center will finally be what Virginia Woolf asked for women, the better part of a century ago: a “room of our own.” Call it safe space, call it centralization of resources, call it much-delayed justice—it will be a place on the campus created by, for, and about...

Soprano Katie Alexandra Woolf, the assistant conductor of RCS, assumed the stage for the latter half of the recital, bringing the audience into the twentieth century with songs by Francis Poulenc and Dominick Argento.

Contact, of an edgily entertaining sort, ensues. It's a treat to see the pitch-perfect...
...made her international reputation with film comedies--like Movie Crazy, in which she played a quirky ingenue, and Blithe Spirit, David Lean's take on Noel Coward's play--Cummings became known for such emotionally compelling roles as Martha in Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?; frail matriarch Mary Tyrone, opposite Laurence Olivier, in the 1971 revival of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night, both in London; and onetime aviator Emily Stilson in the Broadway drama Wings, for which she won a Tony...
