Harvard contributes $200,000 annually to the Loeb's operation, but Brustein needs almost $1.3 million more to launch his four-play spring season in 1980, as well as an additional $1.15 million for the following fall. Over half the budget will come from ticket sales. The rest? When a student asked Brustein where he might raise the money, he answered dryly: "I was hoping...
