Burden Auditorium was brought to life by the tireless cast and crew of the HBS Show for five gut tickling performances, opening to a packed house on Tuesday April 17, and closing to a large audience of admits and alumni, faculty and family, and the odd student.

On April 20th, students from the EC course, Leading Teams, and members of the HBS Dance Club, had the opportunity to attend a workshop on creativity with a modern dance company from Boston: Snappy Dance Theater.
