On November 19, 星空传媒鈥檚 Dramatic Arts Club wowed audiences at Teatro Testaccio with its original production,听Glimpses of Us. Entirely student-conceived and produced under the artistic guidance of Professor Bruno Montefusco, the play wove a poignant and humorous narrative inspired by a grandmother鈥檚 rediscovered diary, told through four interconnected scenes.

The opening scene,听Animus, explored the fraught dynamics of a job interview between two women with shared history, culminating in an emotionally charged confrontation. A comedic turn followed with a burlesque-style skit about rivals battling for the 鈥淧rince with the Most Beautiful Feet,鈥� featuring a show-stealing squirrel puppet.

The most gripping act,听A Collection of Letters Smudged by Tears, presented a tense police interrogation unraveling a woman鈥檚 alibi for her sister鈥檚 disappearance, leaving the audience in stunned silence. The finale lightened the mood with a camping trip gone hilariously awry, complete with bungled proposals, bears, and heartfelt revelations, wrapping up the night on a high note.
