                                        Sometimes you're the stage manager. Sometimes you're the stage. Thursday, June 18, 2015. How to Get Things Done. 8220;How to Get Things Done”. From Chips off the Old Benchley. The secret of my incredible energy and efficiency in getting work done is a simple one.

A few days ago, I was asked the question "What is the role of the professor in a professor/student relationship? The follow up question being one in which I sought to discover if it was meant as a prompt which explored the idealized version of that relationship. Outside of realistic factors.

It is directed by Brandon Woolley and plays through February 15. For further information go to their site at www.theatrevertigo.org.
