ARTS & LIFE
James Talarico’s black-and-white shirts and President Donald Trump’s red-and-white hats may be a common sight along the campaign trail, but it is not common to see students wearing or using political merchandise on campus.
The show itself is only the tip of the iceberg. What it took to get to the top of that mountain is the real story — and the one that nobody sees. If you do it right, your soul is connected to your act in the end, and it should be.
