Harvard Radcliffe Dramatic Club

The Harvard Radcliffe Dramatic Club (HRDC), founded in 1908, is an umbrella theater student organization at Harvard College with the purpose of assisting all theatrical projects at the college. It is headquartered at the Loeb Drama Center, the home of the American Repertory Theater. They produce around 10 shows a season, many of which are written by undergraduate students.

Theatres
There are three primary theaters in which HRDC produces shows. Around 2 shows a year happen in the Loeb Proscenium, the largest theater in the Loeb Drama Center. Typically, shows in the Proscenium are higher prestige shows, typically licensed shows that have had professional runs. Another 6 shows happen in the Loeb Ex, a black box theatre in the Loeb Drama Center. These shows are often student written. Another three shows a year happen in the Agassiz Theatre, used in collaboration with the Harvard Office for the Arts. These include the annual First Year Musical, a musical entirely written and performed by Freshmen at Harvard College, and a semesterly production of a Gilbert and Sullivan operettas.
