...wanted to be. I wanted to leave my options open,” Kline says. She immediately became involved with the dramatic arts at Harvard. Her freshman year she performed with, and was a board member of, the Harvard-Radcliffe Gilbert and Sullivan Players, performed in the Dunster House Opera, and worked on light design in the Loeb Experimental Theater.
