Dong ’02, a joint concentrator in Quincy House, wrote the show as his senior thesis and is the production’s music director.

...Deathrage L. Bergman), the archetypal pain-in-the-ass section participant. Late in the semester, Steve finally builds up the courage to call D.B. an idiot, and the two agree to compete in a problem set competition.

I pick out the Hill Bar, tel: (86-20) 8333-3998 ext. 3913, and Gypsy King, tel: (86-20) 8387-5177.
