...Shout!, presented with the Brother Jero cast and the Kuumba Singers, Scott offers an effective wrap-up to the lighter main attraction. Shout! is particularly worthwhile because it offers a more serious view of the role of the preacher in Black society, along with spirituals, extensions of Brother Jero, and parts of speeches by James Weldon Johnson and Martin Luther King Jr. Kathleen Gatson and Jacqueline Kearney especially stand out in this part of the production...

Prince Faisal's own company, Iceberg Transport International, is considering a plan to find a 100 million-ton iceberg off Antarctica,* wrap it in sailcloth and plastic to slow its melting, and then use powerful tugboats to tow it to the Arabian peninsula, where it would supply enormous quantities of drinking water.

One is wealthy and arrogant, the other working-class, bright and likeable...
...like a priest because he can't get married and has to wear a black-and-white habit that makes him look like a six-foot penguin, although he doesn't have to say Mass every Sunday and instead gets to say things like "Jesus Christ" without having to wrap a sermon around them. Brother Ignatius taught calculus in my high school in New York, and he taught it really well, because everyone learned it really well. If you didn't learn it really well Brother Ignatius would say something like "Jesus Christ" loud enough to cause inner ear damage...
