Since the first Acafella performance 14 years ago, all-male a cappella groups have traveled to Mount Holyoke to share the stage with Mount Holyoke’s Victory Eights. Last Saturday night the annual showcase featured four guest groups: The UMass Amherst Doo Wop Shop, the Amherst Zumbyes, the Middlebury Dissipated Eight and the SUNY Potsdam Pointercounts.

Project: Theatre kicked off its annual production of “The Student Body” in Chapin Auditorium. This year’s theme, “Horror and Madness,” was widely interpreted by the performers to include topics such as nuclear war, living dolls, eating disorders, familial conflict and mental health.
Mount Holyoke’s acapella community held their Spring Showcase in Chapin Auditorium Friday night. The Victory Eights, M&Cs, Diversions and Nice Shoes came together to exhibit their signature styles, celebrate their history and promote upcoming auditions. The group’s respective sets included arrangements of Sara Bareilles’ “King of Anything”, George Gershwin’s “Summertime” from the opera Porgy & Bess and the V8s’ classic the “Mount Holyoke Drinking Song.”
