	Alyssa Bickoff '15 By Morgan Montgomery-Rice April 25, 2013 - 6:11pm Hometown: Hull, Massachusetts So Alyssa, you are pretty involved on Campus--could you tell me a little more about your involvement with Chabad? Right now I'm sitting on the board of Chabad. We plan tons of events, two of our biggest are Hookah in the Sukkah and the Purim party which are both co-sponsored by Greek-life. Currently I am planning a 5K race for Fall Fest 2013. What about your involvement with the music/theater department? How did you get involved with that? I work at a Performing Arts Camp in the summers and when I got to Brandeis I became involved in the Undergraduate Theater Collective and the Brandeis Theater Company as a Sound Designer. READ MORE

Each show was incredibly unique, and was clearly a labor of love for each of the seniors. Two of these shows continue to stand out for me – Rebecca Miller’s ‘13 thesis Amaranthine, an original play by Miller, and Viktoria Lange’s ’13 thesis Eurydice, written by Sarah Ruhl. READ MORE
