AR: Working on a bare stage! It’s the ultimate challenge for any actor. DS: Working with a great director and cast. I think the process will be amazing because I’ll learn so much. QW: I’m really looking forward to going on tour with the children’s show Rapunzel, Rapunzel! A Very Hairy Fairy Tale. I can’t wait to see how the children react to us. Q: Which show is your favorite? AR: The Illusion. Tony Kushner is a wonderful playwright. I can’t wait to see it come to life with such a talented cast and director. DS: I love all the shows, but I’m most familiar with Almost Maine. QW: Out of the two shows I’m in this semester, I think my favorite is going to be Our Town. It’s different than other roles that I’ve gotten. I’m looking forward to the Challenge Q: What has the experience been like? AR: We haven’t started rehearsals yet, but I’m looking forward to it. DS: We haven’t started rehearsals yet. QW: Being in two shows in one semester is a little stressful, but I’m confident that the outcome is going to be well worth it.

When asked about the Czech Republic, the general consensus among the student population is usually along the lines of “I thought it was Czechoslovakia?” or “That’s Prague right?” or “Yeah they have beer.” Students will likely never see it as an option for study abroad, and people tend to skip over it when deciding where to spend their cash on overpriced merchandise. While the Czech Republic’s capital city Prague is not as hyped up as London or Paris, there are certain charms to this postcommunist country that are hard to experience elsewhere. One of the great things about the land bound Czech Republic, which makes up the heart of Europe, is its multitude of historic sites, including medieval castles, Gothic churches, celebrated museums, and of course the famous Charles Bridge. Czech is likewise famous for its Bohemian glassworks; walking down any street in Prague will reveal shops full of crystal art from goblets to beads to chandeliers. Furthermore, Czech is the homeland of many famous people throughout history, particularly in the fields of art and music. Students on the Schwob campus may appreciate that the film Amadeus was filmed in a Czech castle and that the famous art nouveau painter Alphonse Mucha was Czech.

Cream sauce and butter goes on everything except pudding. Beloved

foods include sausage, weinerschnitzel, dumplings, cabbage, and a huge assortment of thick yogurts. This love of food developed because the entire country has a coffee shop men
