“Identity V” pits puppets against the possessed

By Cassie Hollasch · Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2020

Read Art's Editor Cee Annis' review of horror game "Identity V!" “Identity V” is a one versus four survival horror game, akin to “Dead by Daylight.” You play either as a survivor or a hunter. Hunters, like the name suggests, hunt down the survivors while they try to decipher four clues to open the gates to let them out of the manor they are stuck in.

A midpandemic night’s show - Theatre department puts on “Midsummer Night’s Dream”

By Cassie Hollasch · Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2020

Last week the University of New Hampshire’s Theatre and Dance department released a filmed production of Shakespeare’s classic comedy “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” directed by Deb Kinghorn. This supernatural play of confused lovers, feuding fairies, and overly eager thespians marks a deviation from the department’s general approach to theatre. As a result of COVID-19 and the limitations it has put on theatre, the production took a note from the Bard himself and made the world their stage - or at least, the university’s campus.

Fashion and politics

By Cassie Hollasch · Saturday, Oct. 31, 2020

If you are a fashion enthusiast, chances are you have somehow shown at least some interest in politics. Although most people think that the two fields are unrelated, it is closer than one might think. From Lady Gaga’s infamous meat dress at the 2010 Video Music Awards (VMA) to Billy Porter’s tuxedo gown at the 2019 Oscars, people have been using fashion to express their views and beliefs regarding major issues in the world of politics.

“Welcome to Nightvale,” a podcast of the surreal

By Cassie Hollasch · Friday, Oct. 23, 2020

Ah, October, the weather is colder, pumpkin spice is in the air and we’re still mostly stuck inside, overloaded with homework and the existential dread of being at school during a global pandemic. We all need something to listen to while waiting for our next Zoom meeting to start and “Welcome to Nightvale” is a perfect balm for those 20 minutes when you have nothing to do.

Reel World Issues - theaters, pandemics, and streaming

By Hannah Donahue · Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020

It’s strange to imagine a world without movie theaters. They seem so quintessential to the American experience - refreshing air conditioning chilling you year-round, reclining seats that seem to get fancier every few years, popcorn with the somewhat frightening but undeniably delicious cocktail of salt and “butter” (I still remember being asked if I wanted real butter for an extra fifty cents).

Mini review: Razia's Shadow

By Hannah Donahue · Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020

I’ll say it now, “Razia’s Shadow” was criminally underrated when it was first released and its fade into obscurity was unjust. Like clockwork, this album from 2008 finds itself back on my playlists in time for October, despite it neither being creepy nor spooky.
