It's tough, it's an interesting little play -- part comedy, part serious. Basically, it's a story about the trusting friendship between women, but you lose a lot of that in the film. It's more clear throughout the play.

We want to give men and women in the department equal opportunities to appear on stage. With 'Julius Caesar' and 'The Rainmaker,' those are great opportunities for men, and we selected the others for the female actors on campus.

We bought a real beauty parlor, with dryers and functioning water, and the whole bit. All the other elements, artistically, bring things into a whole.

We missed Valentine's Day by about a week. You can tell your guy you'll trade him this play for three action movies -- football or sports stories or blowing up cities. Just make a deal.

News is history shot on the wing. The huntsmen from the Fourth Estate seek to bag only the peacock or the eagle of the swifting day. - Skyline, 1961.
