The Student Advisory Board’s annual Student Gala, this year entitled “Voyage,” filled the many halls and pavilions with food, music, activities, and conversation. This is the first year the Gala has been held in the new museum space — in past years, it has been taking place in Campus Club, with much of the school not noticing any relation to the art museum.

Mia Mazzeo

While at first glance Theatre Intime’s production of “Fefu of Her Friends” is the story of a group of middle-aged women working together on a charity project, there’s far more than meets the eye. The tensions among its characters — from the titular character’s fascination with the revulsive to a literal Chekov’s gun that may or may not be loaded — permeate the alt-aesthetic stage from the very start.
