Mirth of a Drama student

You'll never groom dogs in this town again: Henry Alford takes qualifying exams for careers he's had no training for whatsoever. Failing miserably at hairdressing, dog grooming, and drawing, Henry finally stumbles into an occupation he has a natural knack for.


Humour thy Father: Stephen Sherrill discovers that awkward feeling most people go through in their first ten years of parenthood when he tries to explain the Clinton/Monica scandal to someone whose innocence he is trying to preserve.


Front row Center with Thaddeus Bristol: David Sedaris describes the painful experince of middle-school christmas pegeants. The bad acting, the sappy story, the overall boringness of it all... In other, completely unrelated news, CHS drama's Winter production will be having a "holiday theme" to it which means one of two things. Either troupe 4405 has to learn a lot of Hebrew (unlikely), or the stage will be littered with pine needles and wrapping paper. And unless this production features a wilting sapling and a dancing Beagle, it probably won't be very fun.


Laws Concerning Food and Drink: Ian Frasier's interpretation of Leviticus for the common modern household. Including the foods to be eaten, the places to eat them, and for the last friggin time, what part of 'thou shalt eat your stupid broccoli" don't you understand?

Money: Fran Liebowitz describes to a Vanity Fair interviewer how money, or the prospect thereof can alter people's ways of life, how ways of life effect money and.. Yah, I didnt see much of a real subject to this.. Just her views on richness and how it came to be. And how certain people desire to be rich.

Million Millionaires' March: Michael Rubiner tells a tale of millions of people with so much money, they need to have a nationwide convention to figure out wth to do with it. But it's not just a bunch of rich people trying to overcome their number one hardship, they also share stories of flawed renovations on their summer home in Nantucket and assurences that there are much worse ruts to be in than always guessing right on the Nasdaq.
