Theater folks needing an object lesson in the value of a director can do no better than the University of Puget Sound's production of The Cradle Will Rock, brilliantly micromanaged by Marilyn Bennett. (I'm told Dr. Bennett has been a "visiting" assistant professor for 10 years. Can somebody please get this lady tenure?) Every detail, from house management to the union posters hanging in the hall to the typeface on the program to the final, post-curtain call stinger has been meticulously planned and integrated.
