I'm very impressed by your approach to this piece. Your parody is successful and you carry it the whole way through. You've definitely got down many of Glass's mannerisms but also some of the traits that make the show what it is--realizations and reflections, songs connecting segmants, stories that sometimes (though definitely not always) take themselves very (too?) seriously. One thing I think Glass does that you might not quite have down is the speed of his speech. He does have all the drawn out pauses you capture so well, but at the same time, he also talks quite rapidly. But that's more of an observation than a critique.
You're idea about doing an entire episode/theme sound piece is a good one. In another incarnation fo this class, it might very well focus primarly on sound. Sound holds a lot of possiblities.
