Tickets: Free

THERE IS A FIELD is a play about Aseel Asleh, a 17-year old Palestinian citizen of Israel killed by police in October 2000. Based on interviews and primary sources collected over fourteen years, the play offers a uniquely personal lens for understanding inequality as the root of state violence and impunity. Audiences throughout the United States will find particular resonance with themes raised by Aseel’s life and murder, and post-play discussions and actions will create space to further explore connections and build solidarity across universal struggles for liberation and equality....

Languages constantly evolve and reflect cultural practices. They are a fluid reflection of the passage of time, influenced by many factors, including age, class, and gender. “Plays with Words” provides an opportunity to examine and enjoy the role of gender within the comedic landscape and is part of the conference "Ways with Words: Exploring Language and Gender"—an exploration of the state of language in today's society as it relates to, mirrors, and affects perceptions of gender....

Our Voices will be a collaborative, student-devised work, designed to share stories both from survivors of sexual assault and about rape culture on our campus in general. Sexual violence is an epidemic on Harvard’s campus, and the need for meaningful engagement with this issue could not be clearer or more pressing. Our Voices—while privileging the voices of students on this campus—will be presented in collaboration with the Office of Sexual Assault Prevention & Response (OSAPR). Our Voices will be a space for storytelling and for sharing and we hope it will build on the work done at this semester’s Rally for Sexual Assault Survivors. The show will take place at the end of April–Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)–and it will be the capstone of OSAPR’s SAAM programming.... Read more about Our Voices

The SatireV Spring Musical

The comedy magazine that brought you “Aunt Arleen Suddenly Expert in Foreign Policy” is proud to present its second annual spring musical, a Shakespearean popstravaganza filled with laughs, violence, and extremely realistic fight choreography. We combine the power and raw emotion of William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy with the falsettos and white gloves of Michael Jackson’s discography to bring you an absurdist jukebox musical that, let’s face it, is nowhere near as absurd as either of its inspirations....

It is the dawn of electricity, and Dr. Givings is using a newfangled machine to induce “paroxysms” in his patients with hysteria. All the while his wife Catherine sits in the next room, watching patients who were previously distraught leave pleasantly satisfied. Her curiosity eventually gets the best of her, and she manages to sneak into her husband’s operating theater. Though she delights in the sensations produced by the machine, she still yearns for something more. As she attempts to revitalize her marriage and discovers her sexuality, Catherine learns that it takes more than a spark for passion to thrive....
