Q: A problem with the current generation of students is that their only theater experience is tentpole movies viewed with a pack of friends. Everything else is viewed on a laptop or iPod. They don't even watch TV, except on their computers. - Prof. Nate Kohn, University of Georgia, Athens
A: I despair. I grieve. I utter wild goat cries at the moon. They are denying themselves proper access to an art form that could enlarge and deepen them.
