Jessica – The Virgin Suicides/Jeffrey Eugenides I wouldn’t consider myself to be an avid reader, but the one book that stood out the most would be Eugenides Virgin Suicides. His writing is the most ethereal, yet blunt piece of literature I have come across. Teresa – The Host/Stephanie Meyer Upon reading it for the first time as a teenager, I found it weirdly fascinating … Continue reading Staff Picks – Books
Jared Lawrence Staff Writer “Moonlight”, in its three chapters, Little, Chiron and Black, takes viewers through the lense of Chiron (portrayed by Alex Hibbert), a shy and withdrawn child from the Miami’s dangerous Liberty City area, dubbed “Little” for his meek personality and size.

Annalee Glatus Staff Writer Like all art, theater has a process. There are numerous facets that go into a performance that the audience may not see when seeing a performance of a play, especially when the piece is of heightened language and drama, such as Shakespeare. When approaching a Shakespearian piece and other pieces of heightened dramatic language like Greek Tragedies, significant table work … Continue reading Looking Inside the Theatrical Process
Teresa Dale Staff Writer Over the winter break I had the opportunity to fly across the ocean to the land where they call pants “trousers”, underwear “pants” and sweaters “jumpers”. That’s right, I went to England. Though I did the typical touristy type things while I was there, I mostly stayed in the countryside with friends. Sitting in pubs with good company, having long … Continue reading Experiencing Art in England
Jared Lawrence Staff Writer The New York Polyphony acapella group gave a simply dazzling performance Friday night at First Presbyterian Church.

They usually perform music from … Continue reading A Literal Religious Experience
