‘Arcadia’ exceeds expectations

(03/19/19 10:00am)

“Our production highlights how women were and are treated in academia, and the footprint they leave behind for those you follow.” Sarah Salinger-Mullen’s ’19 director’s note rings true in her interpretation of Tom Stoppard’s “Arcadia.” The 1993 British play was produced by the Undergraduate Theater Collective March on 14-17 in the SCC Theater. The play takes place in one room of a country house, Sidley Park, during two different time periods separated by 200 years: the early 1800s and the present day.






An interfaith dinner

(03/19/19 10:00am)

This past Wednesday, Brandeis’ Department of Spiritual and Religious Life held the last of this semester’s Multifaith Dinners. The guest speaker was Brandeis’ Dean of Students Jamele Adams, who chose to diverge from the typical model of a 20-minute speech followed by dinner and questions in favor of holding a round table discussion in which attendees were all invited to ask him any question they wanted.  Questions ranged from “What is your favorite sport?” to “What was the most transformative moment in your life?” All of the responses from Adams were thought-provoking and intensely personal, and as a result, attendees were enraptured. The room was silent and contemplative throughout the event, yet there was an atmosphere of interest, respect and introspection. 



A satisfying ending to a beloved franchise

(03/12/19 10:00am)

  While the majority of this weekend’s moviegoers shelled out their hard-earned money to “Captain Marvel,” several releases from the past few weeks faded into box office obscurity. Among them was “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World,” Dreamworks Animation’s third and final entry in the successful franchise that began in 2010. The series tells of Berk, a Viking kingdom that lives in harmony with dragons. It finds a serviceable ending in its finale, if not a completely satisfying one.


Bentley University holds high school prom charity event

(03/12/19 10:00am)

As spring comes to Waltham, Waltham High School is looking forward to its event of the season: prom.  Bentley University’s annual “Dresses to Dreams” event, held on Feb. 16, gives students from Waltham High and the greater Boston area free prom dresses. Prom can be pricey, and “Dresses to Dreams” is an attempt to alleviate this and keep the event exciting for every student. 




Artists explore political impacts on female struggles

(03/05/19 5:00am)

The Kniznick Gallery at the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute hosted an artist talk for the opening of their new exhibit “One Foot Planted” last Thursday. Artists Meirav Heiman and Ayelet Carmi displayed their artwork on a projector, discussing their separate artistic undertakings and explaining how they ultimately came together to create the exhibit.



Kent’s 2019 Oscars Recap: SAD!

(03/05/19 11:00am)

We did it, everyone. We solved racism. Inverse “Driving Miss Daisy” won best picture, finally giving two Oscars to the man who brought us Cameron Diaz using ejaculate as hair gel in “There’s Something About Mary” and Jeff Daniels violently pooping in “Dumb and Dumber.” Remember its sequel? Remember that Three Stooges movie or that god-awful “Movie 43?” Because I sure don’t. A movie with solid performances from Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen has convinced baby boomers that we all just need to love each other, and we’re all the same deep down. How broad and lacking in nuance. “Based on a true friendship.” —  What a horrible tagline. Judging by the characters’ actual families’ denuncation of “Green Book” as “a symphony of lies,” this tagline isn’t even true!





Spiritual asylum

(03/05/19 11:00am)

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38). While the snow-white Boston was still shivering from cold, 11 members of the Brandeis community embarked on a journey under the Miami sun. Funded by The Department of Spiritual and Religious Life, Brandeis Chaplains Shrestha Singh and Matthew Carriker led nine Brandeis students and faculty on a February Break Immersion Trip.
