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’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.

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.
