The Roberts Studio Theatre feels like an underground rock club. The stage is set minimally, with panels of graffiti, black boxes, a piano and other musical instruments lit by hazy, colorful lights. The audience is still murmuring when the three characters that make up the cast of “Lizard Boy” casually walk onstage to tune their various instruments. It’s as if a concert is about to start, rather than a musical. The opening display is very intentionally alternative. “Lizard Boy” is a story about an outsider, and the show itself is situated on the boundaries between sci-fi and myth, and between the quirky and the cliché.
A new Srebrenica massacre is now upon the world, and much like the U.N.’s inaction then, the international community’s continued apathy will now allow for yet another mass slaughter in Sudan.
We all make mistakes. Whether it be hitting your 5-year-old brother in the face with a pitch or smashing your side-view mirror into your friend’s mailbox, sometimes, we just mess up. (Don’t ask me where I came up with those examples.)
Tufts came out victorious after five close sets in their match against No. 14 Wesleyan on Friday. Tufts won 25–22, 25–21, 25–21, 25–22, 15–12 in its final regular season game.

Since the Winter Hill Community Innovation School closed in June 2023 after a piece of concrete fell from the ceiling, students have been relocated across the city, continuing their education in temporary spaces. It has been a long journey for the children and their families. After missing four days of school, students were divided among the Capuano Early Childhood Center, Olin Hall at Tufts University and the former Edgerly Education Center. The student body was reunited last fall in the Edgerly building at 8 Bonair St., where they have remained since.
Baseball is a truly evil sport.
Friday marked an interesting milestone in my journalism career: I conducted my first-ever interview with a dog.
In the 2024 presidential debate between former President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump, it became clear that political discourse in America had fully merged with internet culture. Within minutes of the debate’s broadcast, TikTok and X were flooded with short clips. Biden’s frail voice and empty-eyed stare sparked jokes about him needing “a cough drop,” an energy drink or even Adderall, with one user quipping, “They accidentally injected Biden with ketamine instead of adrenaline.” Memes compared his expressions to a dog caught misbehaving or someone seeing ghosts.
In recent years, the United States has faced rising concerns regarding climate change. Communities across the country have noted an increase in wildfires, heat waves and powerful hurricanes. These challenges have spurred debate among legislators, scientists and community members about how to maintain human livelihood while addressing issues such as biodiversity loss and pollution.
The vibrant transformation of leaves into shades of red, orange and yellow marks the transition from summer into the cooler months. With Boston ranked among the most beautiful autumn cities, its fall foliage is a popular attraction for both locals and tourists. This season, however, the picturesque scenery is threatened by increasing environmental stressors on the region’s trees.
Sitting in a mildly cramped, dimly lit room, I, along with several other guests from the Medford area, waited with bated breath for School of the Museum of Fine Arts alum Bianca Broxton’s performance. A hush quickly spread throughout the room as Broxton entered dressed in a floor-length gown, white stockings, a white veil covering her face and a white headwrap on her head.
