All Missouri- CoMo: When looking at this, all you see to the naked eye is graffiti on a cement wall. What you don’t see is the history behind the artwork. “I think it makes me remember that Columbia is cooler than you think it is,” receptionist Carson Bierman said. There is more to the artwork because it speaks for the people, and represents Columbia, Missouri.

Wilbur the pig, played by senior Anna Wright, grasps for freedom from the Zimmermans oven during her performance in Charlottes Web. This was Wrights favorite moment in the play. Im picturing running from an intruder or just like a monster, Wright says about what goes through her head during the scene. Theater is important to me because it is a way to get a bunch of people with nothing to do in common in the same room to laugh together, to cry together, and teach moral lessons right in front of their eyes. And its really fun.

Lead actress, junior Aniya Sparrow, who portrayed Emma in The Spotlight Players production of Emma!: A Pop Musical, sings the high note of Man I Feel Like a Woman by Shania Twain. Emma! is a jukebox musical featuring many well-known songs that keep the audience engaged. Ive been in many shows before, but this production has by far been the hardest Ive ever worked and I think its really paid off. Everyone put so much effort into their character and the technical aspects and thats what made the production so successful. Im so grateful that I got the opportunity to play Emma, and Ill never forget how much fun I had or the feeling of being on the stage playing this character, Sparrow said.

State lawmakers have proposed a record of 238 bills this year that would limit the rights of LGBTQ+ people in regards to education, healthcare, and other issues. Sophomore Kadrian Bennet poses for the center spread cover. There is a lot of current discrimination going on toward trans people in sports, with the /Dont Say Gay Bill, and Texas with a lot of discrimination toward the community and the legal system, and I think that even in so many ways the more mainstream identities need a lot of protection, Bennett said.
