Before going into a post mortem, people should know that You Never Can Tell is generally okay as a house JCR show. You can take your friends and enjoy the show without grimacing too many times and chuckling far more often. With that off my chest, we can begin the dissection...
...School students and graduates who have petitioned and called for recision of the award. But recision is not the solution; it would only compound the huge public relations fracture.
