Dear Sexpert,

It was after class when I stepped out of the Scheide-Caldwell House and was confronted with the pumpkin. Seated in between the picturesque crossroads of Scheide-Caldwell, Chancellor Green and Henry House was this enormous sculpture of a gourd cloaked in black and brass-gold polka dots. Like some sort of magical occurrence, it appeared to have sprouted in a spot where I had most certainly had lunch just a few weeks before. Questions possessed me. Where did the pumpkin come from? Who had designed it? Was it a gesture to the harvest season, the time for hot apple ciders and feasts among relatives?

Do you have a place in your hometown that you can envision as clearly as your childhood bedroom — every color, every store sign — as though your mind had the capabilities of Google Street View?

This week, Theatre Intime’s “Gidion’s Knot” closes out the last three performances of its two-week run. Written originally by Johnna Adams and directed on campus by Victoria Gruenberg ’16, the show features just two actors, Ugonna Nwabueze ’18 and Hope Kean ’18. Street sat down with Gruenberg and Nwabueze to talk about what it was like to be put on this short but emotionally high-stakes play. This Q&A has edited and condensed for clarity.

Student groups are created for a wide variety of compelling reasons at Princeton, but what better excuse exists than “Yale has one, so why don’t we?”

Poetry: Songline Slam Poetry presents ‘Kidz Bop Newbie Arch’Even if you don’t think of yourself as someone who can appreciate slam poetry, we hope that you at least think of yourself as someone who can appreciate a reference to Kidz Bop. Do you really qualify as a millennial otherwise? Join Songline this Thursday night as it celebrates its kidz (read: new members and budding poets), be it on your way to Prospect Avenue debauchery, a late-night study break or just for the feels.1879 ArchThursday, 11 p.m.*Dance: BodyHype presents ‘Guest Workshops with Youran Lee and Esosa Oviasu’Good news: this weekend, you don’t have to be in BodyHype to dance with BodyHype.

Featuring 17 groups, including some we didn’t know existed, this particular arts extravaganza has one up on those twice-yearly University-sponsored shows — all proceeds from the $5 ticket go toward the health organization designated by the group voted best-in-show by audience members.Taplin AuditoriumSaturday, 7 p.m.*Music: ‘An Hour with Idan Raichel’For one single hour on Monday, Israeli musician, composer and producer Idan Raichel will be on stage at Taplin Auditorium.

At first glance, Anna Leader ’18 and Alexandra Mendelsohn ’18 might seem like practically the same person. Besides being brunette and around the same height, they were dressed in similar outfits when I met them for the first time. Leader then accidentally introduced herself first as Allie (Mendelsohn) before realizing her mistake, adding to the overall confusion.

Here’s a confession: Before I started writing this piece, I had to use Google Maps Street View to remind myself the name of the street I’m writing about. It’s been two years and four months since I last stepped foot in Urubamba, a town in Peru’s Sacred Valley and my home for nine months during my Bridge Year, and what was once effortlessly familiar now requires a bit of dusting-off to recall.

Breaking the fourth wall is always a technical challenge, regardless of dramatic medium. Yet it’s the centerpiece of the first show of the Princeton University Players’ 2015-16 season. In keeping with the self-referential humor of the work, the title of the one-act play is “[title of show],” literally referring to the fact that the show is about people writing the show that is being performed. Written by Hunter Bell and with music and lyrics by Jeff Bowen, the play chronicles Bell and Bowen’s experience writing the play for the 2004 New York Musical Theatre Festival with their friends Susan Blackwell and Heidi Blickenstaff.

When thinking of “historical Princeton,” it is often images of Nassau Hall and Blair Arch that come to mind — it is, certainly, not the brick-tiled, rectangular building lodged between the Engineering Quadrangle and the Friend Center that represents campus for most people. Yet within this unassuming exterior stands the Mudd Library, responsible for housing just about all of the University’s illustrious history.
