The Promised Neverland: children defeating the odds

By Cassie Hollasch · Monday, Feb. 1, 2021

Generally speaking, I don’t read descriptions before starting to watch a show if the trailer or cover image is interesting enough. Perhaps this is my greatest flaw, as I haven’t learned my lesson despite being bamboozled by a book’s cover in the past. But surely, I thought, as I clicked onto “The Promised Neverland” on Netflix, surely it is not going to betray my impressions, right?

The Midnight Sky: A Necessary Futuristic Film

By Cassie Hollasch · Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2021

The year 2050 sits ominously in the distance, marking a slew of predicted landmarks of irreversible damage to the environment and our planet. It should be no surprise that with this date, science fiction has begun to speculate how the world will be within the next few decades. One of the most recent examples of this is the late 2020 film “The Midnight Sky”, directed by George Clooney.

By Cassie Hollasch · Thursday, Jan. 21, 2021

Mia Rollins was determined to pursue a career in figure skating; ultimately, turning her passion into her dream job. At age 18 an ankle injury destroyed this possibility. Devastated, Rollins turned to a different creative avenue - art. She attended Brown University where she received a bachelor’s degree in Visual Art and Modern Culture. Rollins now works full time as an artist and actively applies to show her work in galleries across the United States.

A look into 3S Artspace’s Exhibit Woven Female Landscape

By Cassie Hollasch · Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020

Walking into 3S Artspace’s Exhibition, Woven Female Landscape, the viewer is met with three monochromatic pieces that beg the question, “What does it mean to be feminine?” The all-white pieces fill the room with a sense of purity and ease and offer the visitor a “sanctuary.” While taking in the work it is difficult not to question your own views on femininity and the deeper meaning behind each piece.

UNH’s Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins: A Storybook Retelling for All Ages

By Cassie Hollasch · Sunday, Nov. 22, 2020

As November steadily winds to an end, the days are becoming darker and darker- both literally as night begins to draw in earlier each day, bringing with it a taste of winter, and metaphorically as coronavirus (COVID-19) cases are once more on the rise. But not all hope is lost in the darkness. Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of light and determination in the world to make things right and persevere in the face of daunting circumstances. Perhaps that’s what makes the University of New Hampshire’s newest filmed theatre production “Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins” just the show we need right now.

“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.

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).
