Sitting in the Front of the Class, Marching in the Front Lines
The alarm rings. It’s 5:30 a.m. You get up, brush your teeth and reach for your uniform, clean-pressed and weighted with badges and a name plate. You lace up your boots and head outside into the daybreak, heading to an hour and a half of physical training. This is your morning three days a week, now that you’re in the ROTC.
From Writing Workshop to the Kennedy Center, Student’s Script Soars Into D.C. Theater Scene
Well into the first act of Seamus Sullivan’s (SFS ’08) “Harlan at the Rockpile,” presented in the Kennedy Center’s Page-to-Stage Festival, the eccentric character called the Chorus points out the dual definition of the word “campaign.” It’s a word that seems to be on the front page of every newspaper, one that catches our attention despite its meaning: an offensive push, a struggle
Cell Phones Hang Up Old Movie Stories
Cellular phones have ruined everything. I am not talking about the miniaturized Internet, the cameras, text messaging, the people who persist in talking on them as loudly as humanly possible or the personalized ringtones we are forced to listen to on a daily basis, usually at the movies.
Professional Acting Company Guest Stars in New Course
While most courses offered in the theater department are based on training and technique — acting, stage management, play analysis — Professor Derek Goldman’s new class blends method with real, practical and more importantly, professional experience.
As Clothes Go, the Second Time’s the Charm
You’re the typical socially conscious Georgetown student. You’re down with the whole eco-friendly thing, and might have even stayed awake through Al Gore’s two-hour PowerPoint on the subject. There are a lot of ways to step up your green game, but perhaps the least painless (and the one most likely to simultaneously up your indie street-cred) is shopping at a second-hand clothing store.
Miley Cyrus Succeeds Only With Mickey's Help
I’ll admit it: I don’t know that much about Miley Cyrus.
Classic Romantic Comedy Is Always in Our Hearts
In the world today, if a movie has any remnants of romance, it is considered a “chick flick.” But there are many different types of romantic movies, and not every romantic film is a melodramatic tearjerker that makes even the most fanciful people rethink their stance on romance.
The Best [Blank] Movies Yet
August. That means another semester begins. A new freshman class joins us on the Hilltop. And, as luck would have it, a new columnist puts pen to paper (or, in this case, fingers to keys on his laptop).
Maryland’s Silver Screen is Golden
The most technologically sophisticated cinema in North America — it must be in Los Angeles, right? Wrong. In fact, it isn’t located anywhere near the nucleus of the film industry. It’s to be found in downtown Silver Spring, Md., an affluent suburb of Washington: an unlikely location, perhaps, for a movie buff’s mini-Mecca.
Go Back to Gap Kids Where You Belong
Luca and Daniel Biro, sons of Daniella Vitale, the president of Gucci America, are featured in an article in last Sunday’s New York Times, discussing their fashion preferences and favorite sartorial trends.
You Will Remember This Packed September
Welcome to September. Every year, around this time, we are suddenly jolted back to reality after the revelry of summer, with a brand-new pile of books to read, problem sets to finish, papers to stress over, and professors who often forget that human beings require sleep.
Oases of Healthy Food Abound Around Town
What with all the moving in, unpacking, buying books and getting readjusted to early mornings (yours truly has alternating 8:00 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. classes this semester), I must admit that food has not been the first thing on my mind lately. Shocking, I know. In fact, when I sat down to write this week’s column, I was stumped.
Put Bodega at the 'Tapa' Your List
Introducing Spanish charm and flavor to Georgetown, Bodega is the new tapas restaurant that opened on M Street in May. Ryan Wolfe, its manager and a veteran of the restaurant business, is confident that Bodega will become a significant part of the local culinary landscape.
GU Theater Steps Into the Spotlight Again
One look at the slate of upcoming theatrical performances here on the Hilltop will tell you that Georgetown’s various drama groups are acutely aware that 2008 is an election year. Echoing the political themes of several of last year’s productions, many of the offerings this fall are united by a common interest in issues of race, gender, community and justice.
