If you click on the photo and look at the bottom left, you'll notice an interesting panelist, some Illinois state senator named "Baraka Obama."
Does it mean anything? Probably not as much as some people think, but as a former Chicagoan it's amusing to see the other notables on the panel. Hadn't thought about Leon Despres or Studs Terkel in a while, to say nothing of Alderman Helen Shiller, who as I recall represented Pyongyang on the Chicago City Council.
UPDATE: I am trying to confirm this, but I believe that after its run in Chicago, this play was performed at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater, on a double bill with "The Importance of Being Earnest."
