...success of a show like “The Sorcerer,” with a fundamentally weak plot only resolved by a deus ex machina, depends largely on its soloists, whom stage director Davida Fernandez-Barkan ’11 manages effectively. The role of Alexis is well handled by Nelson (in last Saturday’s matinee performance). His strong tenor and zestful portrayal of his foppish, affected character provides many of the performance’s most rewarding moments. In particular, his over-the-top exchanges with his father, played with great aplomb by Yashinsky, are delightful...
...decision of a group of protestors—which included several Harvard students—to stage a “sleep-out” in support of climate-change legislation last Monday evening in Boston Common might strike observers as odd. Yet while setting up tents in the very tame wilderness of central Boston is peculiar, the cause the demonstrators supported is not.

Allowing the students to stage a protest here would have helped to raise awareness on campus, showcased Harvard’s commitment to dealing with the pressing problem of climate change, and avoided what is now a headache for the administration and protesters alike...

This cause in particular is in line with Harvard’s mission, and its supporters should not be needlessly burdened. The administration should refrain from blocking harmless protests and potentially meting out unwarranted punishments and instead show that it agrees that climate change is a cause worth sleeping...
...Chillin” is a fitting first single for Wale to use as an announcement of his arrival on the main stage. Resolutely defiant about his hip-hop credentials, the track declares Wale’s unique affiliation with the DMV, Wale’s hometown area of D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. As if to prove that he was born ready to compete with hip-hop heavyweights like Jay-Z and Kanye West, Wale goes all out to make “Chillin” stand out. While establishing his hip-hop skills by rapping about the tried and true...
