...Johnson ’09, and Simon J. Williams ’09. Produced by Margaret M. Wang ’09, Barry A. Shafrin ’09, and Zach B.

When Dramatic Arts 10, Harvard’s beginning acting class, had its first session on Sept. 19, about 60 students showed up to audition for one of the 16 spaces in the class.

...mosaic. With “Inheritance” optioned for Hollywood, Chang has stayed busy writing and spending time at Harvard, where her classes are focused on the creative writing process. In English Crr.: “Beginning Fiction,” she emphasizes the stories of writers like Chekhov and Joyce before focusing on student work. The seminar environment allows Chang to work closely with students, a vantage that the author “enjoys enormously.”And though Chang will undoubtedly miss many of these students, she eagerly looks forward to beginning her new directorial position...
