The Vatican might seem an unlikely place for any trace of Native American life to end up, but in mid-2013, conservationists in the Borgia Apartments discovered several native men hidden in the background of a painting by a very prominent artist. The Resurrection, completed by Italian Renaissance artist Pinturrichio in 1494, was housed in an area of the Vatican that had gone largely unoccupied for nearly 500 years. Formerly inhabited by Pope Alexander VI in the 1400s, a Spanish pope with a reputation for corruption, the Borgia Apartments contained a cycle of frescoes that recently underwent a serious conservation process. While removing a thick layer of grime on the aforementioned painting, conservationists discovered small figures in the background who looked like they could be Native Americans:

The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore’s historic Mount Vernon neighborhood is currently home to a new exhibition entitled “Egypt’s Mysterious Book of the Faiyum.” This exhibition is worth experiencing because it is designed in such a way so as to tell a story and interact with visitors, as opposed to lining artifacts up like soldiers across the walls in a more static and predictable manner.
In Revolutionary Road, Richard Yates explores the lives and secret desires of April and Frank Wheeler. Though both initially want to buy into the suburban experience along with their peers, they eventually realize that life holds more in store for them. The overall tapestry of their marriage is more or less intact, but over time, more and more threads are pulled loose so that it falls apart and lies in disarray. The production of The Petrified Forest that April takes part in symbolizes the dichotomy between positive hopes and a negative reality not only concerning Frank and April, but also their peers.
At such institutions as the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore’s Mount Vernon neighborhood, the objects on display are normally the stars of the show. After all, that is why we go to museums, to appreciate and marvel at the treasures — big and small — readily on display, yet so far away, enshrined behind a thin wall of glass or mounted against a wall. Yet, as I realized on a recent field trip to this esteemed museum this past weekend, the structure of the building itself is crucial to comprehending the importance of the objects within its confines. The very bones, if you will, of the Walters tell a story that encompasses the diverse body of artwork housed within.
“Born in the USA” is undoubtedly a hallmark anthem by the great Bruce Springsteen. The beat of the song alone is enough to make anyone get up a dance. However, digging deeper into the lyrics themselves reveals a less jovial message, one that comments on the irony of the American dream and the disregard that this nation has for a certain class of people.
Chaos, hilarity, and roaring laughter ensues in the Barnstormers production of Noises Off, a comedy by Michael Frayn. A show within a show, Noises Off is the story of a play gone wrong and the actors and director stuck in the middle trying to save this sinking ship.

In high school, pottery class is often one of many students’ favorite classes to take. It was so cathartic to let one’s creative juices flow while throwing a bowl on the potter’s wheel or painting an original design on whatever sprouted from the imagination.

Kate Chopin’s novel, The Awakening, in spite of its relative brevity, makes each and every account of its heroine, Edna Pontellier, and the new, liberating universe to which she eventually awakens elegant, sparkling, and incandescent to the reader. What is most apparent in the novel is the role Edna’s closest relations play in her life, from helping her cope with the mistakes she made in her past to facilitating her embrace of her independent awakening in the present. However, Edna is ultimately unable to undo her domineering husband’s emotional abuse against her, his stuffy lifestyle, and her realization of her inability to transcend society’s limits on her.
