The biggest spectacle in all of sports entertainment was live from the City of Brotherly Love on April 6 and 7 at Lincoln Financial Field. On a frigid weekend, Philadelphia still showed out and packed over 72,000 screaming fans each night -- including my father and I. This was the first WrestleMania in the Paul “Triple H” Levesque era. Paul took over and brought that spark back to professional wrestling that WWE lost many moons ago.
Ariana Grande’s seventh studio album, “Eternal Sunshine,” offers a translucent view to who Grande is as an artist and an individual.
Over the past few months, I have been seeing many promotional materials for “Small Island, Big Song.” Not just from the Luhrs Performing Arts Center, but professors from across several different departments have been encouraging their classes to attend the performance on Monday.

It is astounding how, five films in, no sequel or reboot has succeeded in capturing the magic of the original 1984 masterpiece that is “Ghostbusters.” A true lightning-in-a-bottle film, everything came together to create one of the all-time great film comedies with one of the all-time great casts. Unfortunately, Sony will not let the series rest, and they are once again trying to make “Ghostbusters” their new MCU with the new “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.”
Shippensburg University has talent, and it was on display at the Luhrs Performing Arts Center Thursday night.
My favorite show is called “Abbott Elementary.” It was released in 2021 and is a mockumentary about four teachers, Janine Teagues (Quinta Brunson), Gregory Eddie (Tyler James Williams), Melissa Schemmenti (Lisa Ann Walter) and Barbara Howard (Sheryl Lee Ralph). These hard-working teachers work under their not so hardworking boss, Ava Coleman (Janelle James) in a low funding Philadelphia public school.
30 million monthly listeners. This seems like a statistic for a newly released album; however, this album is nearly 10 years old. This statistic just reinforces the timelessness of the album “Blonde” by Frank Ocean. “Blond” or “Blonde,” which are the masculine and feminine versions of blonde in French, are what Frank Ocean uses to represent his duality in masculinity and femininity through his world-renowned album that was released on Aug. 20, 2016. This album surrounds Ocean’s struggle with masculinity and emotions inspired by sexual experiences, heartbreak, loss, duality and trauma through introspective lyrics and unconventional and progressive sounds.

The Slate has existed on the campus of Shippensburg University for nearly 70 years, and it has not always been pretty.
About twice a year a new batch of seasonal anime is dumped into anime fans’ recommendations, and it can be hard to sort the good from the bad. “Shangri-la Frontier” joined the ranks in the fall 2023 season and quickly surpassed my expectations. With a tendency to break common tropes and a world that feels new and creative, “Shangri-la Frontier” hits the top of my list for the season.
There is no denying that even those critical of animation cannot deny that the original “Avatar: The Last Airbender” is one of the greatest television series of all time. From its masterful storytelling, timeless characters, rich world-building and gorgeous animation, it is a series that will transcend generations. So many were worried when Netflix announced that they were going to give it a shot, bringing the world of “Avatar” to live-action. I mean, it worked so well the first time.
I will be the first to admit that I am in no way familiar with the music of Gloria and Emilio Estefan. I love “Conga,” and that is really all I know about their discography. Heck, I was not even familiar with the songs of their titular musical, “On Your Feet: The Story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan.” However, I was still curious when the show was performed at the Luhrs Performing Arts Center on Tuesday.
Noah Kahan, one of many individuals nominated for Best New Artist at the 2024 Grammys, is a folk-alternative musician giving inspiration to many. Kahan is known as an artist who puts his fans’ interests first, digs into his soul to provide fulfilling storylines and utilizes a creative outlet throughout his music.
“He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders just before she died.” I wanted to get the joke out of the way, because sadly, this incredible line is not in the finished movie. However, that does not mean there are not plenty more hilariously awful lines to be found in “Madame Web.”
If you are looking for an album to listen to this Valentine’s Day, then Laufey’s debut album, “Everything I Know About Love,” is the one for you. With modernized jazz and classical music, Laufey captures the feeling of being a hopeless romantic.
Some of my favorite movies in the whole world are romantic comedies, or rom-coms. Rom-coms are movies that contain romantic plotlines, but those that are generally light-hearted and humorous. These films are often overlooked in the film world, as they are seen as “chick flicks,” movies that women typically enjoy that men don’t see value in. However, I think that many chick flicks can be valuable to the viewer. Aside from many being genuinely good movies, they are light-hearted and fun and can take your mind off of the bad things happening in the world. Rom-coms are a form of escapism for many of us, including myself.
Drum Tao, a Japanese drum and dance ensemble, came to the Luhrs Performing Arts Center on Tuesday night and wowed the audience with their remarkable talent. 11 performers played various instruments: taiko drums, shinobue, koto and syamisen.
