About the HRDC

Founded in 1908 as the Harvard Dramatic Club, the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club is an umbrella organization for campus theater at Harvard College. The HRDC directly oversees two student productions on the Loeb Mainstage each semester and about four or five productions in the Loeb Ex, a blackbox space. Additionally, the HRDC organizes Common Casting, Backstage Week, and numerous other events, including panels, master classes, and formals. It also works to connect students to the professionals at the nationally regarded American Repertory Theater, with whom the HRDC shares the Loeb Drama Center.

Come see Spurned! Running October 24-27 at the Agassiz Theater, presented by the Office for the Arts at Harvard. A young woman reeling from heartbreak, a nun wishing for a taste of adventure, an outlaw suffering from success, an ex framed for robbery, and a sheriff out to bring them all down: what could possibly go right? This Wild West dramedy asks the age-old questions of what do you do when you can’t bring a horse into a theater, and how far is too far when it comes to getting even.  

Come see Anastasia! Running November 1-3 and 7-9 on the Loeb Drama Center Proscenium. Anastasia is an enchanting new musical that explores the enduring mystery of the Princess Anastasia Romanov, who supposedly survived her family’s infamous execution. Our story opens with Anya, a girl with an uncertain past, who teams up with two questionable con men to escape St. Petersburg on a fateful journey to Paris. As trouble ensues, the trio is forced to navigate the complexities of identity, loss, and family amidst the ever changing cultural landscape of the roaring twenties. With music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, Anastasia breathes new life and wonder into a classic tale that is sure to astonish audiences!
