...supporting actors are uniquely worth mentioning. Bobby A. Hodgson ’05 is wonderfully frenetic as the aptly-named Dopey, who delivers a sparkling and drug-crazed monologue, and Josh C. Phillips ’07’s burnt out heroin-addict Fick is both hilarious and sad. Scottie Thompson’s Ann, a dragon-lady salt-of-the earth working girl, is also excellent: when the second act opens to Ann smoking a cigarette in quiet café, her back to a bear yellow wall, her bearing is that of a woman in a (racey) Hopper...

Luckily, at the Hong Kong after 1 a.m., everyone is in the same state. “No, you’re awesome!,” the ringleader screeches back...
...have much reason to get informed about the issues. Since no one vote is ever decisive, we never have to pay any price for the decisions we make on Election Day. Despite the fact that this election has energized more Americans than any in recent memory, the sad truth is that when most voters troop to the polls on November 2 they will be pathetically ill informed...
