The theater department put on the play “F*cking A” by Suzan-Lori Parks last weekend. The play is originally based on “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Twenty One Pilots returns with underwhelming new single
Ever since Twenty One Pilots’ (TOP) release of “Trench” in 2018, they seem to have lingered under the radar. Even with their 2021 release of “Scaled and Icy,” it didn’t compare to the pure power of “Trench” and the story that comes along with it. I will never forget seeing […]

Like many during their childhood, I was mesmerized by fairy […]
CSI takes students to a Broadway production of ‘Hamilton’
Above the Atrium, the Center for Student Involvement advertised to students the upcoming events the student faculty would mandate. Top of the list was the Broadway play “Hamilton” in the Richard Rodgers Theatre. As someone who’s somewhat inexperienced with theater but eager to indulge, the opportunity to attend was unshakeable.

What’s the deal with “ArchTalk”? When a new student-run Instagram account popped up in mid-February, Ramapo College students all began asking that very question.
