...Getting the rights to perform “Chicago” required a much larger fee than most shows. When combined with other expenses, the show racked up a debt of $5,798 by early February. Yet the ambitious Hanley plans not only to recoup that amount in ticket sales, but also to turn a profit—of over $20,000. If he and his team succeed, they will donate the profits to the Office for the Arts at Harvard as an endowment for House drama productions.Part of the agreement prohibited the students from changing anything in the show?...
