Students involved with the show appreciate it as a unique opportunity to interact with other visual artists. David J. Tischfield ’09, an instructor for the Harvard Ceramics Program, participated last year and has two pieces in the show this year. “There are remarkable artists, painters and sculptors at Harvard,” he says. “I came into college as a rather established potter and sculptor, but I obviously couldn’t do that here.

Schapiro and co-director Julia V. Guren ’10, who is a former Crimson illustrator, focused this year on catering to a variety of audiences. The show attracts Harvard faculty and staff, as well as residents of Boston and Cambridge.

There will be lots of fun and energy,” making it clear that the show will carry a light, enjoyable, and easy-going air despite its veteran cast. And, though the show is scripted, Hickey says “There was very minimal rehearsal for the show,” which should, as it has in the past, create some fun, impromptu humor that highlights...
