"Was going to Harvard helpful or difficult for a budding playwright?," Catherine Foster of the Boston Globe asked Christopher Durang.

His response:  "When I was applying to colleges, Harvard was the one that didn't have a drama major. . . . When I got in, I thought if I was going to be a writer it probably made better sense to have a general background rahter than focus on theater right away.  It was a good decision.  When I went to Yale Drama School, part of the reason I had such a good time there was because I had not been totally immersed in theater at Harvard."
