Or, as I say above, you suspend disbelief, and assume that the characters are white Midwesterners even if the actors playing them are not. Wasn't Barbara Cook from Tennessee, after all? And switching to film), Hermione Gingold sounded like no Iowan I ever met--even with all the Delsarte and elocution lessons in the world! I think part of the pleasure can be the utopian opportunities (I'm stealing from Jill Dolan and Jose Munoz) such theatrical experiences offer!
