Author Norman Mailer and violinist James Oliver Buswell IV '69, will be the guests of the Tenth Annual Leverett House Festival of the Arts this week.
Leverett House doubled its budget to $2000 this year in honor of the festival's tenth anniversary. The additional money allowed the House to expand its art and photography competitions to include for the first time non-Harvard Boston area students.
The experimental films festival, patterned after Wellesley's national film festival, received 57 entries from throughout the nation. The writing competition, however, remained limited to students in the Harvard community.
The festival will also feature the Leverett House Opera Society's production of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro with a performance by Master Richard T. Gill '48.
Mailer, author of The Naked and the Dead and An American Dream, will speak on May 6th in a presentation cosponsored by the Harvard Advocate.
Buswell performs today at Leverett House. He began a national concert tour last month with a performance in New York at Philharmonic Hall
