Every play ever produced has been showing this weekend and last.  Bwog’s Anish Bramhandkar checks out the latest offering from the CU Players, Dirty Hands.

Last night after an anxious wait, Bwog finally got itself off the standby list and into what can only be described as a giant gothic living room in the bell tower of Riverside Church. Liz Naiden reports on how the one-night-only “Re-Imagined” completely, er… re-thought Columbia theater as we know it. The Director’s Note on […]

To see if he could still feel (and to check out the neighborhood north of 120th Street), Emotional Correspondent Dan Flicker took a walk last night to see Columbia Stages’ production of Phoenician Women.  Here is his story. The Phoenician Women prance into their namesake play as a colorful, if occasionally irritating bunch. Giggling and […]

Bwog newcomer Thomas Pedroza crammed himself into Miller Theatre yesterday for a comedy performance that would make your mother blush.

You would be forgiven for thinking, upon stumbling onto campus this morning, that Columbia had suddenly become a pre-school.

Those of you who hit the American Apparel sale early will have already seen him, but Bwog assumes that there are a few un-stylish souls out there who have yet to see the Ted Kennedy’s face peering up at them from the sidewalk of Broadway and 110th.

Like many of you, last night the staff of the Blue and White attended the 115th Annual Varsity Show, “The Gates of Wrath.” The Varsity Show should not be, as most people say, about collectively making fun of ourselves and our school.
