The "sexually confused and overly theatrical" New Jersey teen Edward Zanni, introduced in Marc Acito's comic novel, How I Paid for College, makes a triumphant return in a sequel, Attack of the Theater People (Broadway). Kicked out of drama school, Zanni finds work in New York City as a "party motivator" and, well, let's just say that he's a trouble magnet. Who else is stalked by a Bar Mitzvah client? "Attack of the Theater People is as sweet and nutty and irresistible as a bag of M & M's. Acito's deft hand with dialogue lends a curious believability to even his most preposterous scenarios." – Armistead Maupin.
