Not all of them are angry, and not all of them are men, but the characters in Princeton Chinese Theatre’s production, “12 Angry Men” must overcome their differences to reach a unanimous decision that will determine whether another person will live or die. This play, directed by Bobby Chengming Zhu ’13, is a translation into Mandarin Chinese of the famous film “12 Angry Men,” which was released in 1957. In this play, a 18-year-old boy has been tried for allegedly murdering his father, and a guilty verdict carries a mandatory death sentence. The plot revolves around the discussions among the jurors as they debate the reliability of witnesses and evidence and as they explore their own prejudices.

Thoreau had walden. Renoir and Matisse had Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Hemingway had Cuba. Across time and generations, artists have been captivated and inspired by spaces. Their inspiration often stems from the environment around them: the people, culture and other artists pursuing their creative ambitions. Next year, a group of Princeton students will join this pursuit as a part of the Edwards Collective. The Mathey Arts and Humanities Residence is bringing together 20 students to live on the third floor of Edwards Hall and create an atmosphere that facilitates creative expression and artistic collaboration.

We met long before my introduction to the Bubble, in my junior year of high school. He was a football player; I was a cheerleader and it was cute, cliched and comfortable. Our relationship started out of mutual attraction and then blossomed into something real. He didn’t understand my interest in schoolwork, just as I didn’t understand his obsession with sports, but despite our not having much in common, we were happy together for a year and a half, even when he was in college one state away.

“The Baltimore Waltz” opened last night at Theatre Intime. It tells the story of Anna and Carl, a brother and sister, embarking on one final trip to Europe as a terrible disease threatens to separate the two forever. Playwright Paula Vogel wrote it as a memorial to her brother, Carl, who died of an AIDS-related illness; it is a fantasy of the overseas adventure she was never able to have with him.

Recently, facebook newsfeeds have been flooded with photographs of students staring into a camera, their eyes vulnerable and their insecurities written on their bodies. The students pictured had all walked into the USG office this past week and shared their stories with photographer Steve Rosenfield, opening up about feelings that they hadn’t revealed to the public before. Though Rosenfield was a stranger, his comforting presence allowed them to release the issues that had been on their minds. “Steve made me feel so relaxed because he was totally nonjudgmental. We talked about how my anxiety affects me and the thoughts I have in my head when I feel an anxiety attack coming on,” said Latalia White ’13, who was photographed with the words “Don’t Freeze” written on her arm.

Let’s be honest. Princeton’s your second home, yet when your classmates at UCs gush about the beaches or your NYU friends send you sketchy Snapchats of the Sprouse twins, you can’t help but get a little annoyed at the apparent dearth of prospects in New Jersey.

Every february, there comes a time when we become acutely aware of the status of our relationships with others. We think about the moments we’ve shared, the jokes we’ve told, the quarrels we’ve fought, and we reach a pivotal moment when we must decide whether or not we want to take the next step or move on to a new chapter of our lives. I refer, of course, to the time of room draw sign-ups. As we draw closer and closer to the all-important deadline, all of the unspoken questions of the last months must be answered. Awkward conversations ensue that make the stammering confessions of Valentine’s Day look like idle chatter about the weather. Of these uncomfortable room draw situations, nothing is more painfully awkward than the roommate breakup. However, there is no need to fear: This guide will help you defuse that explosive situation with such skill that Kathryn Bigelow herself will want to make a movie about you.

I’ve always liked to think that I’m pretty independent. I can assemble IKEA furniture, fix my computer and carry most heavy boxes. But sometime between freshman week and fall break of last year, I began to find that I was no longer enough for me. I came to the realization that maybe moving heavy objects and debugging my laptop didn’t quite make me emotionally independent. It wasn’t long before I stopped raising my eyebrows at my friends’ nighttime conquests and began to have a few of my own.

The first weeks of a new semester are always rough. It’s difficult settling back into routines that seemed effortless before break, and getting used to being back on campus takes time, no matter how much we love it here. But for those students who spent the fall 2012 semester studying abroad, the readjustment can be even more unique. Street has the scoop on what it was like for two of these students.

You’ve seen Fallon, Kimmel and Conan dominate the late night scene. The audience. The atmosphere. The laughs. Funny is in the air but you just can’t taste it because you are stuck watching it on a TV in a Whitman common room. “All-Nighter with David Drew” brings the late night to you in Princeton’s “favorite (and only) late-night talk show”. Street got the chance to talk to Princeton’s favorite (and only) late-night host, David Drew ’14.

“Basically, the song’s about a prenup — like ‘girl, you takin’ all my money!’ The whole song’s a joke, so you just gotta have that personality,” an exuberant Ellen Kim explained to the crowd of dancers in Dillon’s Group Fitness Room. UGK’s “International Player’s Anthem” blasted from the speakers and the entire room was filled with loose sweatpants, bright sneakers and the Black Arts Company’s signature purple.

This week at the Wilcox Blackbox Theater, the Princeton Shakespeare Company presents “Elizabeth Rex,” written by playwright Timothy Findley and directed by Ryan Fauber ’15. PSC’s stunning show features an authentic set and varied props, tastefully selected sound effects and several strong performances. The play begins with Queen Elizabeth struggling to decide whether she should spare or execute the Earl of Essex, an ex-lover-turned-traitor. The Queen seeks refuge with William Shakespeare and his actors to lighten her spirits. Their conversations shed light on the roles of gender and love in early 17-century England. Although this play is set during Elizabeth’s reign, it was actually written in 2001. The play provides an evening of fine entertainment.

Although the flower-filled, balloon-decorated, abhorrently pink Valentine’s Day has passed, the harrowing witness accounts of public displays of affection still remain. We watched as audacious couples aggressively sucked at each other’s faces, adorably Eskimo kissed and held hands in a vice-like grip. My personal favorite was an unexpected running leap of a kiss on Nassau Street — one girl galloped at her boyfriend, who swept her off her feet for a smooch on the sidewalk.

I think introductions are boring. Every time I meet a new person, I follow a well-rehearsed script. First he states his name and then I offer mine in return, followed by all of the obligatory questions. “Which residential college are you in?” I ask. He answers and asks me where I’m from. I take a deep breath and brace myself for the reaction I know my answer will elicit. “Princeton,” I state matter-of-factly, “like the town we’re currently in.” My tone may come across as uninterested, but it’s because I’ve been accustomed to and frankly tired of answering the barrage of questions I’m sure will come. “What’s it like living so close to home? Don’t you ever just want to get away? How can you stand being this near your parents?” my confused acquaintance will wonder.

What do lampposts, the Dillon Cardio Room and squirrels have in common? They all could use a little love.
