Example Sentences
- "Rowan D'boat (R. Will Jevon '27) brings "Total Drama Island"-esque physicality to the stage. He demands attention and laughs, even though his character is essentially redundant and often randomly absent from ensemble moments. His funniest moment is when he soliloquizes like Shakespeare with a "fraccent," — a highlight of the entire production."
