...position is perhaps more a function of the limitations of Agassiz Theatre than anything else (as there is no pit, it is difficult to put the musicians anywhere other than front and center without banishing them backstage), this placement imbues the viewing experience with the senses of a symphony concert as well as a play. Indeed, it is tempting at times to watch the musicians as much as the actors, and thus the combination of music and drama succeeds in deepening the audience experience...
...most pressing question facing the UC right now is how it can ensure that its failures of the past year—which wasted approximately $50,000 of students’ money on events like the aborted Wyclef concert, the Springfest Afterparty, and the Havana on the Harbor cruise—are never repeated.

This week, The Prying Game asked whether people cared about the show and what comics they’d bring if they’d had the chance...
...comedy show in Sanders – I guess it’s better than another concert, given the success of those recently. People are less likely to have strong preferences about comics, and I guess it’s good they have a cause for this one; people like to feel like they’re doing something good with their money. Annie Lewis ’07 I think stand-up is awkward—you’re sitting in front of someone and they’re obviously pretending to do something that isn?...
