A single light shines on a ticking clock. As the clock ticks, we are told the story of the Radium Girls, a play based on a book by Kate Moore of the same title. The play recounts the true story of a group of women in the 1920s who worked at a dial-painting company and produced watches whose numbers were painted with radium to make them glow.
There’s one thing that makes everything cooler. Space. Why have a story about pirates when you could have a story about space pirates? Why watch a play about a normal old divorce attorney when you could watch a play about an intergalactic divorce attorney? And sure, stories about people going insane are cool and interesting, but what about people going insane on a spaceship?

The Peabody Opera Theatre and Peabody Symphony Orchestra’s adaptation of Engelbert Humperdincku’s Hansel and Gretel, which was performed last Friday, Feb. 2, sets the original fairy tale in Baltimore.

Lift, a Netflix-produced action film starring Kevin Hart, has great action sequences and pretty imagery but lacks strong, complex characters and emotional risk.
On Wednesdays, we go to the movie theater. I mean, at least I do. You should too. Regardless, the latest buzz is that the classic high school comedy Mean Girls is making its way back to the theater. No, no, not the original movie. It’s a remake. No, not just a remake of the original. It’s a movie adaptation of the Broadway musical that was a remake of the original movie that was based on a book. Got it? Yeah, me neither.

How do you encapsulate the entirety of an extraordinary life in 2 hours and 11 minutes of film? You do it in the way any person does when they are old and alone at the end of their lives.

21 Savage released his third studio album American Dream on Jan. 12, 2024, alongside a fake biopic trailer which tricked rap fans and critics alike.

Was my inner side-braid-wearing, archery-obsessed self from 2012 secretly thrilled at the prospect of a new Hunger Games movie? Admittedly, yes. But I also didn’t want The Hunger Games to become the latest franchise to be recycled, repackaged and presented as new.
