The buzz: One of this semesters best picks. Though this show is held in Reiman, the talented dancers, wide range of styles and brilliant choreography definitely equal the caliber of last years incredibly successful Loeb Mainstage all-dance show. A must-see even for the dance-wary.

Starring Mainly Jazz Dance Company and Harvard-Radcliffe Ballet Company

Letter to a Student Revolutionary

December 9-11

Loeb Ex

Written by Elizabeth Wong

Directed by Due Quach

Produced by Flora Kao

THE PREMISE: Two women, one a second-generation Chinese-American and the other her Communist Chinese pen-pal, keep in touch over a decade that culminates in Tiananmen Square. Letters explores the contrast of cultures and ideas: freedom, identity, and desire appear through two disparate perspectives.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Letters will make special use of lighting, choreography, and projections to face the unusual challenges of the set. A chorus of three men and one woman will also add a unique flair to the play.

THE BUZZ: Due Quach (M. Butterfly and I Get no Kick From Campaign) brings her diverse theatre staff experience to Letters. We get to see Kim's (Damn Yankees) first major lead role. This group will hopefully infuse this emotionally challenging play with new energy and talent.

Starring: Yayoi Shionori and
