Outlined on the floor in masking tape is the shape of the Agassiz stage, a tiny area that will somehow have to accommodate 26 costumed actors. Two columns of support beams march in formation down the length of the room, through the stage, and iron grating covers the windows. Originally Shannon was the ROTC building. Now the Harvard Gilbert and Sullivan Players use it as a place in which to hold rehearsals and build sets for their productions...
...talents, an attempt to bring the LaZebnik wit to a wider audience than the Lowell JCR. His parodies of Hamlet and Paradise Lost count on only as much knowledge of these works as the casual reader of Bartlett's could be expected to have. The move to Agassiz has made LaZebnik's theater less intimate, more like musical comedy. In Teeth he paid little serious attention to plot and wrote a bizarre kind of free association opens buits, MAM the must hardly accompanies the dialogues in all. Occasionally the first violin gets to put in a comment but the rest...
...About Mintz, a musical comedy about the efforts of an advertising agency to convert a hack poet into the best-selling bard of the country. Armed with a volunteer orchestra and a full production team. LaZebnik tackled Radcliffe Grant-In-Aid for funds to produce the show in Agassiz. The society had a reputation for supporting original musicals, having produced Suffragette in 1973 (now playing successfully in New York) and others before that. But after more than a months deliberation, the Advisory Board of Grant-In-Aid rejected the show, claiming that force to "unprofessional." Discouraged by the Loeb Mainstage...
...soliciting unsecured loans from people connected in some way with the arts at Harvard. So far, HPS has been able to offer LaZebnik $2000, an amount that no house drama society would ever be willing to risk on an original show. The $2000 allows LaZebnik to rent Agassiz Theater, Independent of Radcliffe Grant-In-Aid, and thus possibly to earn up to $5500 in ticket receipts for the seven performances...
...excellent. Don't expect anything to shed any light on serious questions of birth, copulation or death, but this might be the intellectual's alternative to the Pudding Show anyway, since you can hardly avoid seeing at least one farce this week. Tonight, tomorrow and Saturday at the Agassiz at 8:30 p.m., as well as next weekend...
