I'd heard the legend of Neil Diamond: the sequined jumpsuits, the bubblegum pop for the middle-aged, the kitsch.
It's Monday, day two of "Hell Week" for Princeton University Players' production of "The Secret Garden," which I'm directing.
The camera pans over the streets of New York, focusing on four young women. A fresh-faced, raven-haired girl stands out from the other three bleached blondes: Laura Breckenridge '07.Just one year ago, Breckenridge lived a normal Princeton life.
With characteristic flair ? and a few surprises thrown in ? Princeton's Black Arts Company (BAC) performs its fall show "Back at the Jump-Off" this weekend at Theater Intime.
The odds are you haven't heard of "The Secret Garden," the musical being put on this weekend by the Princeton University Players (PUP). Based on a classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett and transformed into a Tony Award-winning musical by Marsha Norman in 1991, the show has largely been erased from the theatre-going consciousness.
Zora Belsey may well live in your entryway. She's that pompous power-tool who dissects her readings clinically, later to drool semi-meaningful strings of words in precept.
