...Harvard theater gets very little non-financial support from the University, which is great in the sense that Harvard students get to take on jobs like directing and producing that at other universities would be afterthoughts for professionals. It would be easier, yes, but less enriching if Harvard worked that way. If you love it, if you’re focused and energetic and talented and tireless, then there is no better feeling than the one you get just before the lights come up on opening night.
