In the meantime, the show will go on for the Pudding Theatricals, who annually stage a "no holds barred drag burlesque," as well as for the Radcliffe Pitches, Harvard Krokodiloes and Hasty Pudding social club, which also use the space.
The groups will stay put this year as the committee makes plans for the building's future use.
