I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the world would not be what it is without the work of William Shakespeare. The playwright not only wrote some of the most recognizable stage pieces, but also fundamentally changed how language was spoken. His words are important, which seems to be one of the threads that weaves its way through Internation…

What is it like stepping back into the world (and works) of Dr. Seuss, after growing up reading them? It's surely an interesting experience, as we're able to explore books such as Horton Hears a Who, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Cat in the Hat through the lens of a young adult. Does the work still hold the same magic that it once did? If…

The musical Chicago is the longest-running show currently still playing on Broadway, having captivated audiences for almost three decades.

If we choose to ignore history, we're doomed to repeat it. That's what has been ingrained in our heads from such a young age, and one of the most important reasons that history is taught in schools. The past serves as a reminder of the good and bad humans have gone through, and of what could happen if we allow similar patterns to recur. It's storie…
