Although six undergraduate dancers authored the report, 25 student groups including the HRDC, the Kumba Singers and the Mozart Society Orchestra, have signed onto the committee's demands for a slot on the Mainstage.

Elizabeth M. Darst '00, said Dean of College Harry R. Lewis '68 and Associate Dean of the College David P. Illingworth '71 helped the group construct the proposal.

"They shepherded us in this process," Darst said.

Illingworth said he and Lewis gave their express support and guidance to the students.

"They gave me the text to look at, and [Lewis] too," he said. "I would love to see them get their slot, and I hope they can get the folks at the [American Repertory Theatre] to do it."

Alhough Harvard owns the Loeb Drama Center on Brattle Street, the University allows the American Repertory Theatre (ART), a professional drama company directed by Orchard, to use the building for its performances.

The ART in turn allows undergraduates to put up four productions a year in the theater.
