The Studio Hosts Figure Drawing Event
The Carnegie Center for the Visual Arts was a tranquil environment Tuesday night.

Column: The Rise of Cedarville Rugby
In November 2009, Andrew Held gathered a group of his friends and headed for the old intramural field to play his sport of choice – rugby. The field is small, located between Apple and Williams Hall. There were just a few guys present who knew little about the sport.
Every Friday this group of guys would head out to the same field and play for two hours. Some weeks, four guys would come and other weeks upward of 10. They were completely irrelevant to most of Cedarville’s campus.

The renovations to the fine arts building in the past couple of years haven’t exactly been secret, but many students didn’t quite know what was happening when a drawing class took over the upper lounge area of the BTS in fall 2011.

Review: Cast’s Personality, Humor Tops Off ‘Shrew’ Performance
Opening night of Cedarville’s “The Taming of the Shrew” was a success and not only because it was performed to a full house. From the first words sung on stage by the “Shrew Crew,” as the six-person ensemble has been dubbed, to the thunderous applause after the closing scene, the theatre never saw a dull moment.
Members of the audience were immediately drawn into the action on stage. In the midst of Padua, a 1950s “Little Italy” community, we witness a struggle for love. There ...
