Re: “University Theatre's The Arabian Nights offers insight”

Dear Zack, I suggest you do real research and read the script of the show. It is performed as written and all of the actors are only the picture of the the world that the director has created. For you to imply that the show needs to be type casted, you further prove the ignorance of the hipster reveiwers of this time. Arabian Nights wasn't written for Arabs; the diversity of the cast seems to actually help add to their creative accomplishments. Real criticism is based on extensive research and understanding. If they had forgotten a crucial element of the show, that is understandable, but to downplay all of their hard work is pathetic and is a low and unnecessary blow.
