Illingworth agrees that one of his primary concerns is to "figure out what space we have and see if we are using it efficiently and equitably."

As a member of the class of 1968, Lewis can remember when undergraduates had complete use of both Agassiz and the entire Loeb.

"Here we are thirty years later, with a greatly increased level of activity in theatre, facing the possibility of not having much access to either," Lewis writes. "Resolving this problem is an important priority."

Could a new theater on Western Avenue prompt a move of the ART, freeing up all of the Loeb for full time undergraduate use?

"There isn't any possibility being ignored," says David A. Zewinski '76, FAS associate dean for physical resources and planning. "Any space where performances could take place is being considered."

Student leaders say the Mahoney site may solve everyone's problems.

"It's worth looking into better utilizing the Loeb for undergraduates," says Anne M. Thompson, HTAG president. "It would make some sense for the ART to be at Mahoney. There's more parking and more access."

With few solid answers coming from the University, Denman and others say it is frustrating not to know the future of campus theater--never mind not to be included in the planning process.
