	Chris Jones, "Theater: Playwrights New and Old", U.S. Society and Values, April 2003
		American theater has long been distinguished by playwrights' efforts to explore current social issues on stage, and the new generation of playwrights continues that tradition.
		In the second act, a stressed-out dean of students, Sarah Daniels, loses control in front of a colleague and unleashes a monologue in which she confesses her own racism.
		Many theaters point out now that their primary competition for audience members comes not from other arts groups but from retail environments that are increasingly theatrical in nature.

		Although better in the second act than in his long monologue in Act One, Marco Barricelli just doesn’t turn up the wattage necessary for the role.
