...conservative approach extends to the performance space in creative ways. Dunster Dining Hall provides an unforgiving stage: sound gets trapped in pockets, the ceiling height forces an odd lighting setup, and the dark wood paneling renders everything strangely somber. But the company manages to employ the staid dignity of the room to reinforce the moral severity of the town elders. At one point, they even co-opt one of the chandeliers—by far the most physically obtrusive element of the space—as a prop...
...space can make the singers sound quieter than they actually are. Given these constraints, sometimes mezzo-fortes in place of pianos might have been more helpful for both the audience and the cast, as the more nuanced dynamic gestures often disappear beneath the accompaniment. Lucid narrative drive compensates for the occasional gaps in audibility, though, and a coherent collective vision of the direction of each scene helps anchor the plot to a regular pace (“Herring,” with apologies to Britten, does tend to saunter rather than walk).

Held in the Loeb Experimental Theater but set in outer space, the improv festival—which, after a Friday night viewing, has officially earned the FlyBy stamp of approval—will feature not only Harvard’s IGP but also improv groups from schools nearby. Friday night’s shows included Dartmouth’s Dog Day Players and Wesleyan’s New Teen Force. Saturday night will spotlight Columbia’s Fruit Paunch and Brown’s Starla and Sons...

In Vernon, Oltmans Construction Co., ranked as one of the nation's elite "Top 400 Contractors" by Engineering News Record, is completing a gleaming white 60,000 square foot warehouse and office space for CR Lawrence whose business is construction, industrial, architectural and automotive supplies. Ed Sorbel, superintendent for Carpenter's Local 630, says at the project's peak more than 70 men worked at the site. But the outlook is grim for commercial construction firms such as Oltmans and its union work...
...healthy and robust space program generates not just national esteem and extraordinary people but other developments as well, including the discovery of global warming, smoke detectors, and bar codes. And if one takes a long-term view of civilization, human expansion in our solar system is as inevitable as the journeys made across the Atlantic Ocean that ended in the New World. The solar system as a whole has land and resources equivalent to millions of Earths—to simply ignore it would be unimaginably shortsighted. The Moon alone, for instance, has enough fusion fuel to provide totally clean...
