...Arrow Press was founded 22 years ago by James Barondess, then a student in the house. At that time presses printing from handset type were being cast off by newspapers, and type foundries were closing. Barondess went around the country buying up type and collecting the materials needed to start a press. Since then, it has been running quietly--almost secretly--in this basement under the care of one of the Adams House tutors...
...shame too, because some exceptionally talented singers abound in Pinafore's cast; when soloists are afforded their moments, the result is captivating. Seth Fenton '01 as Corcoran delivers a boyish performance as the Captain, Ph.D student Vernon Eagle appears as the foppish and formal Admiral, resembling a more refined Mr. Bean, and Susan Long '02 provides a tongue-in-cheek performance as the bawdy but compassionate Buttercup. All the principal characters acquit themselves well with a good dose of self-awareness and ample humour, but the real star of the show is firstyear Kathleen Stetson. As the unwillingly betrothed Josephine...
...Overall, HMS Pinafore is a delightful production. The cast is full of affable characters who genuinely seem to revel in this trifling and insubstantial world, and the entire production, from bow to stern is infused with a beguiling charm. Any misgivings is ultimately redeemable because the libretto and music are entirely loveable.

Only the most miserable curmudgeon won't go home grinning and humming after two delectable hours in this fluffy cotton-candy world...
...single goal in mind. The house, the vacation, the roommates, the new city were all unimportant. I was in it for the clothes. What clothes, you ask? Well, heres my plan (feel free to steal it if you ever get on an MTV show): the moment youre cast, you get on the phone with every major fashion designer in the world. You call Armani, you call Versace, you call DKNY, Polo, Gucci, etc., etc. And you sell yourself, Listen, Im going to be on The Real World. Broadcast as a personality to hundreds of millions of captive viewersviewers who tend...
...cast, headed by Bobby Childs (Matt Romero '00?) and Polly Baker (Tara Carella ??), functions as one continuous unit; the funniest and most memorable scenes involve either arguments, fights, love spats, or romance between the members of the company. This is certainly a group-oriented musical, for although the main plot involves Bobby and Polly's complicated--or, as it turns out, not so complicated--romantic relationship, it is the host of side plots and secondary characters that make the musical so completely enjoyable: each actor is ideally cast, completely taking on his or her character's quirks, flaws, woes...
