The first article I decided to read this week is titled “‘Venture’ into the underground music scene in Boston” and is written by Michaela Buckley. The article describes the story of a band, ‘Venture’, which is made up of three college students from Nashua, NH. The article is very well written, telling the story of the friendship of three friends, who decide to start a band at 16. The article paints the band members well and includes quotes from all three of them. It includes an appropriate amount of background information on each of the three band members. The article is well written, and inspiring to read.
The second article I decided to read this week was titled “Suffolk PAO ‘Seizes the Day’ with ‘Newsies’” and was written by Maren Halpin. The article describes the college’s recent production of ‘Newsies’, a musical about New York newsboys organizing a strike. Halpin speaks with various cast members, each telling a similar story of the family feel between cast members. The article also goes into the actor’s connections with their characters, talking about the casting process and the work done to put the show together. Overall, I really enjoyed this article, and if I was a student at Suffolk, I would go see the show.
