...boats emerged victorious over Georgetown for No. 5 Radcliffe despite windy and wavy conditions out on the river. Rowing on the Potomac in April is no joke, as the winds—reaching as high as 25 miles per hour—and currents made even rowing in a straight line far from simple. “The conditions were extreme,” junior Grace Hallowell said. “I don’t think we’ve ever raced in anything like that. There were 20-25 mile-per-hour wins and it was difficult getting...

...each other in 1991 and 1992, both winning Tony Awards for Best Play in 1993 and 1994, respectively, as well as a Pulitzer Prize. Over a total of six hours, the work follows the shifts, declines, and evolution of the relationships of two couples, one gay and one straight, in New York City in the 1980s.Despite the difficulty of undertaking such an epic production, both Wright and Hirschenberg knew that they wanted to see both parts on stage.“The two parts are two self-sufficient plays that are made into one continuous play,” Hirschenberg...
