...they cancelled the show, but it’s not unheard of, and it’s much more common in the university setting than it is in the public setting,” said Orin Snyder, a former entertainment lawyer. “Unless there is a specific pattern in cancellation, it’s not going to be an impediment for future concerts.” Glazer said that the concert’s cancellation was “extremely disappointing.” “This is going to make a lot of people unhappy...

The road to achieving student directorial premieres is a rather well-paved one at Harvard. A would-be student director typically selects a script, finds a staff and producer, and then applies to the HRDC board. Once...
