A Playwright’s Life on Campus

Reading Mark Bernstein ’83’s article about Branden Jacobs-Jenkins ’06’s plays (cover story, Dec. 3) not only made me proud to be an alumnus of Princeton, but also quite excited about the prospect of seeing his work on stage. I would also be highly interested in seeing Mr. Jacob-Jenkins’ take on attending Princeton. In his song, “Black or White,” Michael Jackson wrote: “I’m not going to spend my life being a color,” but perhaps it would be intriguing to find out what it’s like to spend four years of one’s life being ... black and orange.
