If you turn down Brattle Street, walk a few minutes past Felipe’s, and look below Alden and Harlow, you’ll find one of Harvard Square’s hidden gems. The Brattle Theatre is the only movie theater in Harvard Square, showing a variety of classic, independent, and foreign films every day. Walking up the stairs from its unassuming […]
On April 5, the Immediate Gratification Players (IGP) presented their Player of the Year comedy improvisation event with Jason Mantzoukas. Each year, the IGP honors a famous comedian by inviting him or her to perform with the cast and receive a classic IGP striped tie. This tradition dates back to 2010 and has honored such […]
Art can take a million different forms. It can be a spoken word poem, a urinal turned sideways, or a guitar riff. Despite access to the illustrious Harvard art history professors, one would be hard-pressed to get a definitive answer on not just what constitutes “good” art, but what constitutes “art” at all.
