Still, Santoro says she hopes that the new stage will allow dance performances to have longer runs.
"We do one show a semester, with just two nights of shows now," she says. "A two weekend run would be great, and I think other dance groups would take advantage of the option."
The Pudding stage is fair-sized--more roomy in terms of depth than length--and has proven itself as a host of large musicals.
Rabbit says the orchestra pit is an advantage when staging a musical, and "the lay out works."
"The stage can handle 15 people, which is very hard to do," she said.
And though the Pudding stage is not ideal for all productions, with another stage in Harvard's repertoire, the College may have the space to do some shuffling, moving productions to the space to which they are best suited.
DeSantis says the Loeb Mainstage--with its massive performance space--is ideal for a large scale dance production.
