...first annual Ghungroo was performed in a room backstage of the Agassiz Theater House with a cast of around 40 students; today, we perform on stage in the Theater for four sold-out shows and we boast a cast size of over 100 students, making us one of the largest student-run productions at Harvard. However, Ghungroo would not be this successful or enjoyable for everyone involved if it were not for its willingness to involve everyone...
...received is challenging, yet immensely rewarding. However, it is more than just a performance: it’s the opportunity to meet new people whose path we might never have crossed, make life-long friends, and be a part of a larger community of dancers, actors, tech staff or Ghungroo as a whole...

The other hallmark of Ghungroo is debriefing at Uno’s at 1 a.m., the nightly watering and feeding ground of our staff. Just picture 15 students, a pitcher of watered-down mango iced tea, peals of laughter and the occasional tech script being written. It’s honestly where we get our best...
