What do you regard as the most inspiring locale on campus? Is there an untapped resource you find especially appealing at Harvard?
KA: I find the Loeb Ex incredibly inspiring, since the space offers so many possibilities.
KL: If nothing else, producing the Freshman Musical has made me realize that there are a lot of resources that people don’t know about—and won’t know about—until they really try to make a production happen.
KA: There are actually a lot of organizations—like the Office for the Arts, Freshman Dean’s Office and the Undergraduate Council—who will try their best to make sure you have the available funds and support.
KL: Plus, there’s Alan Symonds. Theater Guru. You should e-mail him.
What has been your most fulfilling artistic/academic experience?
KA & KL: My most fulfilling experience—
KL: Oh, you go first.
KA: No, you!
KL: Well, my most fulfilling experience has been working with Karen.
KA: After spending countless hours together, we have decided that our minds think in eerily similar ways. We’re often even able to—
KL: Finish each others sentences. (Both laugh.)
There will be dozens of pre-frosh on campus this weekend. How do you hope they react to the production? What impression of Harvard are you hoping the musical will leave on them?
KL: Hopefully they’ll be intrigued enough by the way [the musical portrays how] things were at Harvard in the 70s to find out a little more about how things are now.
KA: Plus, there’s enough nipple in the show to make them want to come back for more.
