Francis’ neck craned back as he lifted the glass to his thin, pursed lips, shaking it to savor the last drops. The ice cubes clinked against the sides of the glass. The wind chimes from the patio echoed the noise. His companion’s glass sat untouched. Francis rose from the chair and retrieved a golden bottle […]
As I walked into the Harvard Art Museums’ new Future Minded exhibition, my eyes struggled to focus on any single piece. My gaze traveled from documentary photographs to a long canvas splattered with paint. I saw modern sculptures standing across from Greek antiquities, which lay just steps away from a silk waistcoat from New England. […]
As I approached the historic Loeb Drama Center on the evening of April 19, filled with anticipation for the opening performance of Eastbound, I was met by a bustling queue of friends, family members, and dedicated fans, all eagerly awaiting the spectacle about to unfold. Eastbound is the annual spring performance and celebration of Asian […]
It was May of my junior year of high school, and I popped a 10mg THC gummy outside of the movie theater. At concessions, I bought a soon-to-be-needed water bottle and could tell the edible was kicking in. I sunk into my seat for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, relishing in the opening-night […]
Each spring, the Agassiz Theater is graced with a musical entirely created and performed by Harvard first-years. The first-year musical, affectionately known as the “froshical,” offers newcomers an exciting and unique introduction to the Harvard theater community.

If I dismember the sky, will the rainbow chunks bleed prismatic liquid? Will I become death, destroyer of hallucinated worlds? Of amorphous blobs of color that shapeshift and ooze. Of pink elephants and sea monsters deep above. Psychedelia, teach me dissociation. How to lose oneself in liminal spaces. The whiteness of radio static and eerie […]
If you turn down Brattle Street, walk a few minutes past Felipe’s, and look below Alden and Harlow, you’ll find one of Harvard Square’s hidden gems. The Brattle Theatre is the only movie theater in Harvard Square, showing a variety of classic, independent, and foreign films every day. Walking up the stairs from its unassuming […]
On April 5, the Immediate Gratification Players (IGP) presented their Player of the Year comedy improvisation event with Jason Mantzoukas. Each year, the IGP honors a famous comedian by inviting him or her to perform with the cast and receive a classic IGP striped tie. This tradition dates back to 2010 and has honored such […]

Despite access to the illustrious Harvard art history professors, one would be hard-pressed to get a definitive answer on not just what constitutes “good” art, but what constitutes “art” at all. The personal […]
Transcendentalism is a techno rave. The pounding tempo and shrieking dubstep, bass reverberating through bejeweled chests. Communion in candy bracelets, exchanged from my wrist to yours. This is divine consciousness. Funhouse mirror bodies collide like billiard balls, the grinding hips of youth. Back cutouts, side cutouts, and midriffs everywhere. There is something spiritual in exotic […]
