When RENT closed on Broadway on June 1, 2008, people from all around the world mourned the fact that this memorable, loving, and inspiring musical was coming to an end. Though the musical closed on Broadway, it will never close in each of our hearts. Spreading the love and living each day as it is the last is the common theme that underlies this production – and that is exactly how the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point Theatre Department portrayed it this opening weekend. With each step of the performance the cast exuded love. Love clung onto you so tight that you couldn’t let go or escape that feeling that you are a part of something, that you are worth something in the world, and that you should open your heart and see what is in front of you.

There is a long line of people who know a specific person, who knows that person, who knows another person. This extended line of never ending people grows exponentially until you hear people saying that it truly is “a small world after all.” Knowing people throughout the community, the city and out to the world demonstrates that people are all connected and instill a sense of togetherness. Many people have relations in the military, or know of someone who is involved with the soldiers who are overseas. The activity, Care Packages for Soldiers, shows that people on the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point campus can get together and share moments in which they are all connected to each other.

In an exhausted horror movie market where blood and gore have taken over for old fashion suspense, “Paranormal Activity,” stands alone as the most frightening movie I’ve seen in years.  Its not the “I have to look away because this is so gruesome,” type of horror our generation has grown up on. The movie wins no points for shock value. With minimalist tactics, writer and director Oren Peli brings out the fear that is already inside us, scene by scene, with a hand held camera.
