The ActorsFirst Project Presents: About Face

531892_10201135493007390_1749488232_n

From the extremely articulate Coz Deicke ’15:

The ActorsFirst Project is an experimental theater production in which the actors are chosen first, and then the script is written, inspired by the actors. Throughout the process, the script has been workshopped, rewritten, and transformed into the play About Face.

About Face centers around a four characters managing their turbulent relationships in a harsh Virginian winter.

The show is sponsored by Second Stage and is not ticketed. Read after the jump to see when performances are (spoiler later: there’s one tonight at 8pm and two tomorrow at 2pm and 8pm in the Downey House Lounge). BAM.

THESISCRAZY PART 2: Olin $W@G

Plans for April 12: “Getting really drunk and then going to see Spring Breakers.

Screen Shot 2013-04-04 at 11.53.54 PM

To get this out of the way: yes, I don’t have any science students in this lovely Part 2; I do, however, have a Classics major (and I guess those are more rare?). But exciting news: we will definitely probably most likely kinda sorta have some science kiddies in our next post (Science people, OPEN YOUR CARRELS TO US. WHERE DO YOU LIVE?!?!).

RD Letters Go Out to the Class of 2017, WesAdmits Doesn’t Heat Up

#dearwesleyan2017 Start a band, don’t forget to shower.

brace-yourselves-the-college-acceptance-statuses-are-coming

Congrats to all the prefrosh currently reading this post! YAY. YOU GOT IN. WOOOOO.

In other Wesleyan admissions decision news:

  • Wesleyan’s College Confidential page is blowing up as students try to pinpoint what could have possibly gone wrong/gone right/gone eh by writing up and publishing their entire high school résumés online.
  • Twitter goes crazy.
  • WesAdmits 2017 is lukewarm at best. No crazy posts asking about the circus count at Wesleyan, no “Convince me to choose Wesleyan over Brown” assholes, and no ridiculous amounts of upperclassmen trolling. Sigh. PREFROSH, MAKE IT BETTER.

See lots of prefrosh being all prefrosh-y (plus a special appearance by the Usdan Cooks) after the jump.

Connecticut Justice Party Meeting

justice-beaver-top

From Anonymous ’13:

The Connecticut Justice Party will be holding an open meeting in Middletown on February 24th. The Connecticut Justice Party is affiliated with the Justice Party of America, a new political party that was founded by 2012 Presidential Candidate Rocky Anderson. The party is based on a centralist platform with progressive values and is focused on bringing justice to issues such as the economy, civil rights, education and the environment. With the aim of being a viable main-stream alternative to the Democratic and Republican parties, the Justice Party is quickly expanding across America.
