'Enter Laughing'
Enter Laughing is the funny musical based on the semi-autobiographical life of Carl Reiner. Based on a starstruck boy from the Bronx named David Kolowitz (Chris Dwan), the story takes him on his journey as a young, girl-crazy high school boy. Much to the chagrin of his mother, he wants to and dreams of being a big Hollywood star. In the tight, well-choreographed opening song, "David Kolowitz, the Actor," we see David's young, innocent wishes to be a star.

'Socrates'
Robert Massimi. I first read and learned about Socrates during my second semester at college. I loved my philosophy course and enjoyed Plato's writings about Socrates. My professor asked us if Plato was actually Socrates and if the book was autobiographical. He actually thought it was, although history has proved this to be a wrong assessment.

The White Devil is a marvelously staged play that deals an early modern tragedy, a type of play in which crime spurs secret retaliation that in turn spurs further revenge.

Branchiano has his wife killed, and does likewise to Camillo.

Vittoria stands trial and is sentenced to a religious house before both she and Branchiano, and a host of others are killed.
