Change in ARISTA Election Process
ARISTA, the Stuyvesant chapter of the National Honor Society, has changed its process for selecting the next members of the Executive Council (EC). This year, the former EC members will select their successors rather than have the ARISTA members elect them.

Senior SING! Type(cast)s to Victory
Senior SING! was all about personalities. Jared Dummit’s role as the mythical Firefox in Senior SING! rang bells among those familiar with his strong presence. Sean Gordon-Loebl’s artsy personality was well-represented in his one-line role as an internet hipster. And many in the audience recalled Grace Klein’s equally swell performance as a ‘charming villain’ in [...]
Junior SING! Leaves Few “Marvel”-ings
“Hello? Why aren’t you responding? Guys? That’s so rude of you!” As Aquaman failed to call the creatures of the sea to assist him at any given point, Junior SING!, directed by Annalise Lockhart and Tara Anantharam, failed to elicit a response from the audience because of inadequate sound quality.
Junior SING! was executive produced by [...]
Soph-Frosh SING!: Not a Total Washout
“Cute,” one audience member said after Saturday’s performance of a mediocre Soph-Frosh SING!. With its wide range of political puns, tasteless social cracks and a bathtub theme that almost welcomed ridicule from other grades’ SING!s, Soph-Frosh failed to impress but showed the two grades’ potential for success in the future.
Soph-Frosh opened with a bland introduction [...]
