Unairconditioned

To sit in the woefully un-air-conditioned New Ehrlich Theatre on a blisteringly hot August night watching an overlong and uninspired production of Terrence McNally's unfunny comedy of dropped names and theatrical in-jokes is to be propelled into Theater-Goer Hell.

It’s also refreshing —— the shift from Lou Dobbs talking about himself on CNN to Ms. Brown impersonally reciting the latest Pennsylvania poll results is a little like entering a cool forest glade after an hour on an unairconditioned subway car at rush hour.
