Trumpets, violins and kazoos in Kirkland House dining hall yesterday announced the final showing of a guerrilla theater production enacted by members and sympathizers of the Harvard Task Force on Affirmative Action.

Ian C. Fletcher '79, a task force member, said yesterday the show portrayed the "incestuous" union of Harvard with an unenforced affirmative action plan.

The show dramatized the unregulated state of affirmative action at Harvard, as well as Harvard's continuing policies of discrimination against women, blacks, and University workers in general, Fletcher said.

David C. Price '77, a task force member and theater participant, said yesterday if Harvard fails to heed task force allegations of "violations of affirmative action policy in hiring and promotion practices, the task force will sue the University."
