Last Saturday, I had the immense pleasure of seeing the 5C theater department’s production of Pomona alumnus George C. Wolfe’s The Colored Museum. Held in Pomona’s Allen Theater, the play seized the audience from moment one and did not let go until the last player had left the stage. It’s

Why NASCAR is the Greatest Sport in the Entire World
