Cherry Tree benefits from ringers

For a campus that otherwise shows little interest in student-led artistic activities, the Georgetown community has a peculiar fascination with a cappella music in all of its doo-wopping glory. One can find spontaneous outbursts of coordinated vocal seranades in many forms, from small-scale performances by the Saxatones to Sellinger sing-alongs with the Phantoms and Superfood.

Korean film features big action, little message

A team of crouching police, weapons drawn, herds a wounded woman into a back alley. As they circle around her, guns aimed at her temples, her look changes from panic to a calm intensity. She spends a moment silently facing her captors and then makes her move.

Finding a way forward

I prayed the other night.

I was lying in bed when it occurred to me how incredibly lucky I am to have a family, a group of friends and a campus community who care about and respect me in my entirety?and could care less if I like guys or girls. So I thanked God for that.

For Colored hits Walsh

Black Theater Ensemble’s performance of Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf is at times both strong and passionate, but mostly fails to rise above clunky predictability. Many of the production’s failings can be traced to the weakness of the play’s structure.

Women behind the lens

Every child has done it. Scanning through the tightly-packed shelves of yellow, bound magazines that your parents so religiously collected, hoping to pick out a volume of National Geographic filled with pictures of wild animals, exotic places and even bizarrely dressed, but usually undressed, people.
