Nestled in the heart of Radcliffe Yard, the Agassiz boasts a moderately sized stage, room for an orchestra and a shop in the basement for building sets...

Yet in the end, for us it will be just another hoop to jump through like the plans of study many concentrators fill out and then dutifully ignore year to year.
