Brandeis’ 25-year-old tradition, the 24 Hour Musical, is a staple in the life of any Brandeis student. This fun and comedic production, where undergraduates have 24 hours to learn and perform lines and songs from classic musicals, is completely student-run and performed. The Undergraduate Theater Collective, the largest student-led organization on campus, is in charge of making sets, costumes and auditioning actors and actresses alike. The 2025 performance was no exception with their rendition of the musical Cinderella, written by Rodgers and Hammerstein and directed by Connor Papantony ‘26 and Vivi Cao ‘26. The show starred Natalie Conklin ‘29 and Luke Benanav ‘29 as Cinderella and Topher. Just like every Cinderella story, this musical was comedic, witty and had its happily ever after. Other notable performances were Sasha Lintovska ‘29 as Madame, Alex Raskin ‘29 as Marie and Kieran van Hooser ‘29 as Jean Michele.

Sabrina Carpenter’s latest album, released on Aug. 29, has already sparked massive controversy due to its striking cover. “Man’s Best Friend” — Carpenter’s seventh studio album — walks the listeners through the phases of a toxic relationship including everything from the initial contempt to the final goodbye. Co-produced by Jack Antonoff and John Ryan, this concept record delivers a unique blend of country-pop, disco-rock, synth and folky ballads, presenting a breath of fresh, 80s-inspired air that the world of pop music hasn’t seen in a while.

I had the wonderful opportunity of visiting the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston’s “Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits” exhibit just before it closed on Sunday, Sept. 7. The exhibition was an in-depth look into Vincent Van Gogh’s relationship with the art of portraiture, the Roulin family and his struggle with mental illness during the last years of his life. It featured 23 different Van Gogh works, both owned by the Museum of Fine Arts and works on loan, along with formative portraits from previous Dutch masters, Japanese woodblock prints and letters sent to Van Gogh from Joseph Roulin. Curated altogether, the exhibit showcased Van Gogh’s portraiture of the Roulin family and painted a tender portrait of the artist himself. The exhibit was a look into what he admired about other artists and art forms, how he brought those inspirations into his art and his deeply important relationships with his family and friends.

After the mass layoffs that have continued to increase under the Trump administration, the reality of poverty is closer than ever before for many Americans. The past few years have seen an increase in the number of people experiencing housing insecurity with almost 40% of the United States population in 2023. While the term “homelessness” has negative connotations and stereotypes attached, the truth is there are so many ways in which one can lose their housing — from having a major health concern to losing a job or leaving a situation of domestic violence. In particular, the Netflix series “Maid” has interrogated the complexity of poverty in a particularly poignant way.

What do denim jeans and the iPhone have in common? The answer is: more than you think. Textiles and computers are both incredibly ubiquitous technologies. In fact, textiles are one of the oldest forms of technology that we use daily. The clothes we dress in every day represent hundreds of thousands of years of textile development — from the time humans first began to dress themselves in animal skins to the industrialization of garment creation during the 19th century. Meanwhile, computers are one of the newest technological advancements of the modern day. From smartphones to smart-refrigerators, computers have become fully integrated into our daily lives. While they may seem separate, the connection between these ancient and modern technologies is strong.

On April 27, the Brandeis tradition of Springfest swept across campus in full force. This year, the Campus Activity Board spared no expense at making the day one to remember. Not swayed by a bit of rain, CAB staff circulated through the Brandeis residence halls at 10 a.m. with tins of breakfast sandwiches. From that moment, the festivities were nonstop. Students in the campus center lined up to get temporary tattoos, pashminas and free jewelry at different stands set up all over the atrium. The morning was filled with treats and celebration, lighting spirits on campus and preparing everyone for the music.

On April 24, 2025 at 2:30pm, The Rose Art Museum invited students to perform their poetry in conversation with Hugh Hayden’s exhibition, “Home Work.” I arrived ten minutes early, setting aside my belongings. Student poets dressed in flurries of flowery patterns and spring colors were scattered in the Museum, reciting their poems and practicing silently to themselves as I wandered through the exhibition. I made my way to the entrance to await the formal start of the tour. I found a stack of booklets titled “After Hugh Hayden” that was a chapbook collection of all the student poems

To kick off this year’s annual Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts, Brandeis’s Students for Environmental Action club put up an exhibition in the Shapiro Campus Center Atrium on Wednesday, April 23. The exhibition, titled “Signs for Change,” was thematically focused on climate justice and featured both artwork made from recycled materials and an interactive display that shared educational environmental facts. One part of the exhibit featured over a dozen pieces of cardboard painted with images and words promoting climate action. The pieces were artfully placed to make a pile while maximizing the number of signs that were visible. Other pieces were taped on the windows above the central pile. This colorful and eye-catching display was accompanied by a quick response code with a link to a petition supporting Mass 350’s Climate Change Superfund Act.
