Junior Aleska Barkoviak, a vocalist for the group, said the album is centered on the gospel and will be available and relevant to everyone.
“Hallelujah” is one of dozens of annually released albums by HeartSong, following last year’s “Reign in Us,” said Jim Cato, vice president of ...
STP Preview: ‘Story of My Life’
Senior theatre major Adam Silorey’s Senior Theatre Project (STP) “Story of My Life,” which premieres tomorrow night, tells the story of friendship.

Missions Organizations Provide Creative Opportunities for Students
Although the primary view has been that only medical students and teachers are useful overseas, missionaries said that’s beginning to change. Creativity is becoming a new tool for evangelism – and missionaries said that is extremely effective.
Two missionaries working with Africa Inland Mission (AIM) – who cannot be named because of the nature of their ministry – said that creative art opens doors for evangelism. Students have opportunities to build relationships with people ...
‘The Village’ Expands, Rebrands
The style blog a few Cedarville students formed in late 2013 has expanded into a national – and international – virtual entity called “The Village.” What began as a style blog highlighting students around campus is now stretching across the United States and across the pond to England, resembling more of a website than a blog.
Bethany Gustin, a Cedarville senior, said “The Village” has grown to a staff of about 50 people since Cedars’ February 2014 story introducing the ...
A Cappella Group to Release 2nd Album
Cedarville’s a cappella group The Inversions will release their second album, “All Along,” April 7, which reflects how the group’s grown since its birth four years ago.
“It is kind of a metaphor for the group and how we’ve grown,” said Robert Rhodes, a junior who’s been a member of the Inversions since his freshman year. “Four years ago we were a dream, now we are a family, and you now hold in your hand, aka the EP, what we’ve dreamt of all along. So the idea of it’s ...
Student Spotlight – Victoria Stapleton: Photographer
Wedding photography and nursing aren’t closely related, but senior nursing major Victoria Stapleton seems to have brought them into coexistence.
“It’s never easy, and it’s actually really stressful most times. Things get hectic very often, but I love it,” Stapleton said. “I see a lot of qualities that apply to both (photography and nursing). In either, it’s important to be able to make people feel comfortable quickly because, in photography, if they feel comfortable, it’s ...
Movie Review: ‘The Battle of the Five Armies’
Peter Jackson’s genius shines through clearly in “The Battle of the Five Armies,” as with the others, in the writing and directing. He captures both the beauty and intensity of the story through the sweeping landscape shots, battle scenes and personal moments between characters.
The movie tracks with the book for most of the storyline, but it does also finish out the “extraneous” additions from the previous films. The majority of these scenes (though without some of Jackson’s ...
Cedarville Theatre, Music Programs Encourage Love of Arts
As the week-long arts celebration closes with the annual Pops Concert on March 27, an appreciation and emphasis on the arts continues in several classes, events and groups throughout campus. But with just 32 students studying theatre and 100 music and worship students, campus productions rely on non-majors to round out the performance groups.
Theatre
The theatre faculty have the opportunity to work with students in their major and students in other majors who have an interest in theatre.

Movie Review: ‘Into the Woods’
When iconic fairy tale characters Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel all find themselves alone in the woods, chaos naturally ensues. Disney’s “Into the Woods,” based off the Broadway musical of the same name, explores what would happen if these classic tales didn’t simply end at “happily ever after.”
Their stories are narrated by the Baker (James Corden), an original character, who has journeyed into the woods on his own quest – to undo a ...
Review: ‘Doubt: A Parable’
Though “Doubt: A Parable” differs greatly from any recent production at Cedarville, opening night was sold out and the intimate and sensitive storyline conveyed excellently.
Senior Simon Yeh started off the performance playing despairing music on the clarinet, lit only by a single light. All eyes were on him, just a few inches away, really, from the audience.
“Doubt” is performed in thrust format, meaning that the audience sits in raised rows on three sides of the stage so that ...
