...while providing twice the seating capacity and retaining the Loeb’s atrocious acoustics. This is a mixed bag, and though I heartily endorse avoiding the temptation the Loeb presents to produce mammoth, overly-ambitious and preposterous casts-of-scores student theater mega-disasters (think: Chess), there is perhaps some as-yet-undiscovered middle ground that the HRDC can reach. Regardless, Gilead is a professional, entertaining, and overall excellent production that is a credit to its staff, cast, and the potential of the mainstage...

...many ways, Harvard Square is just another collection of tourist traps and chain restaurants. The Au Bon Pain Chess Café however, which Steve Stepak’s business card proudly announces as his address, lends the Square an element all its own. From sun-up to sun-down, and deep into the night, the grizzled warriors of chess can be found plying their trade on the tables in front of the Holyoke Center ABP. Two bucks buys you a game, and unless you’re Kasparov, a brutal beating...
