For their spring 2025 musical, the Barnstormers are putting on a production of Heathers: the cult classic musical based on the 1989 film with the same name. I attended the April 12 evening performance, and the theater was packed to the brim with excited audience members, although I was able to claim a coveted front row seat.
On Wednesday, April 9 the Masters in Intelligence Analysis Program hosted “Africa at the Center of Global Issues” as part of their Inside Intelligence series. The event featured Jerry Laurienti, adjunct professor at Texas A&M's Bush School of Government and Public Policy, and Michael Ard, the Masters in Intelligence Analysis program director in the Advanced Academic Programs division in a discussion on the future of diplomacy and conflict in the African continent, especially considering the role of foreign aid.
I’ve been trying to find time in my day to “just breathe.” That’s what everyone tells me to do when I’m feeling sad: “just breathe.” But no one tells you how to breathe when everything feels like it’s caving in, when your brain is just static noise and your heart’s doing Olympic flips over your to-do list.
How will Hopkins respond to the Trump administration’s assaults on our country’s laws, Constitution, and universities? So far, our administration has largely avoided the question. The time for silence, however, has run out.
As the semester enters its final stretch, everyone seems to be buzzing with activity. But thankfully, the weather has warmed up. Just walking past that tree downstairs bursting with pink blossoms — or simply feeling the sunshine on my skin — instantly lifts my mood. Check out the events below; hopefully, they’ll give you some ideas on how to spend your weekend!
I’ve spent the last few months of college lounging in my roommate’s room. Her walls are full of tidbits, posters, postcards and two photo strips: one of us and the failed attempt right before. As I lazily lay in her bed and stare at her sitting cross-legged on her giant gray chair working on her laptop, I feel a sense of longing despite only being a few feet away.

Senior Maya Mann’s interest in accessible city planning and appreciation for public transportation stems from growing up in New York City, N.Y. In an interview with The News-Letter, Mann described her research in urban planning as an aspiring systems engineer, which she hopes will inspire city policy makers to make more informed decisions.
On March 28, Netflix’s latest rom-com endeavor was released: The Life List. I’ll admit, I had low expectations. The alliterated title did not inspire high hopes. I love Sofia Carson — the lead actress — but mostly because I watched and loved the Descendants movies as a kid. I was not actually aware that she continued to act after those films. But mainly, my reservations stemmed from how much the plot sounded like it could belong to a made-for-TV Hallmark movie.
On April 4, Djo (also known as actor Joe Keery) released his highly-anticipated third album The Crux. Produced in collaboration with Adam Thein, the album blends styles from a wide range of alternative artists.
As the end of the school year approaches, I’m betting that we’re all in some purgatory state where we dangle tenuously between midterms, more midterms and finals. While caught in this limbo, I hope you look to the Arts & Entertainment’s weekly section: “To watch and watch for,” in search of rescue. With these weekly recommendations for enriching experiences to do with the arts, we can almost guarantee a shelter from the onslaught of tests, projects, papers and more.

This past weekend, the Hopkins Theatre Company performed Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, a three-act whirlwind of a play about two academic couples from opposing generations, each catching and delivering snide, passive aggressive comments across a countless number of liquor-filled glasses.
On Friday, April 4, a faculty panel titled “Arts and the Hopkins Student Experience” discussed what the arts mean at Hopkins. The event space was open to alumni as part of Alumni Weekend, while other members of the Hopkins community were able to attend virtually through a livestream. As audiences both in-person and online began to settle in, they prepared to hear about vital questions such as: What makes the arts valuable? Why should we pursue them, and how? Is Hopkins committed to the arts?
