The Japanese Student Association held their culture show in the Levin Ballroom for the first time last Friday. They called the show J-SAI, an amalgamation of “Japan” and the kanji, the logographic character in Japanese, for “festival,” which can be pronounced either as matsuri or sai. This title was all JSA needed for their beautiful stage backdrop: a stylized version of J-SAI surrounded with flowers and a grid pattern of green and blue squares.

On March 12, Moody St. gained an exciting new store: Kung Fu Tea. This store specializes in bubble tea, offering a wide variety of flavors and variations of the popular beverage. The bubble tea craze has recently dominated the beverage world of the United States. Popular restaurants, including the many Thai food locations scattered around the Waltham area, incorporate variations of this Taiwanese drink into menus, but those are often substandard compared to that of specialty shops. This new addition to the Waltham community has not disappointed the boba-fanatics of Brandeis. According to freshmen Simona Smolyak, Anjali Mandal, Lily Drak, Charisma Chauhan and Ella Kaplun, Kung Fu Tea exceeds their expectations. These students, bubble tea connoisseurs and newcomers alike, agree that it is a delicious and now convenient treat.

“Drag queens are people, too!” said Plane Jane, an established performer from the Boston area. She opened this year’s Triskelion’s Annual Drag Show with what seemed to be a wink to those old Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight screenings. Next to her, co-host and drag king Jayden Jamison welcomed the eager audience to an intergalactic room that looked nothing like Sherman Function Hall.

In the past four years, no show has ever sold out all five of its showings. Producer Gabriel Walker ’19 should pat himself on the back for amassing the largest possible turnout for the Undergraduate Theater Collective’s “Mamma Mia!” Hell, I even saw my econometrics professor in the audience watching Director Leah Sherin’s ’19 latest project.

Loud. That is how I would describe my Friday night at Chum’s. This, however, is not a negative attribute. Loud is usually exciting, invigorating, awakening. The concert that I attended was all of these. The MAD Band hosted a jam session with the Bentley Pep Band, and to say the café roared would be an understatement. It’s a good thing the Castle doesn’t have residents anymore, because students were blasting music through their speakers, valves, drums and bells.

Upon walking into to Levin Ballroom, a poster depicting a brightly colored sunset hanging over the ocean with glittering letters spelling out “MATAHARI” caught my eye. As AYALA coordinator Kate Nguyen ’21 explained to me, “Matahari means the sun … [It] implies that we want to look towards a brighter tomorrow.” Each coordinator had their own idea for AYALA this year, but they managed to connect Matahari, the ocean and family under one distinction: connections. By making connections with others, we can build a brighter future for ourselves, but our very first connections begin with those we consider family. The ocean symbolizes the connection between all 11 Southeast Asian countries. Even the audience members were incorporated into the whole design! We were people from various backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures gathering around, connected by the ocean and the sun.

University President Ron Liebowitz presented actress and playwright Anna Deavere Smith with the sixth annual Richman Distinguished Fellow in Public Life award on Thursday. Smith has appeared on television shows such as “The West Wing” and “Black-ish,” and over the past few years she has devoted much of her time to writing one-woman shows based on her interviews with over 250 people. In her plays, she delivers monologues from the point of view of the people she interviews as a way to discuss themes of equality, race relations, education and more.

From her pun-filled emails to her presence at Student Union events, Simran Tatuskar ’21 has become the face of the Union this semester. Next year she will be even more visible, as she was elected Union president on Thursday. Yet Tatuskar’s journey to becoming so involved in the Union has not been as straightforward as some may assume.

When European sailors traveled thousands of miles and arrived at the island of Taiwan for the first time, they gave it the name “Formosa,” meaning “Beautiful Island” in Portuguese. Last Saturday, the Brandeis Undergraduate Taiwanese Student Association hosted “Love, Formosa,” a culture show that centered around the Taiwanese traditions of love and how they fit into the modern world. The show featured great performances, fun dating games and, of course, amazing food and Boba.

“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.
