![ECLIPSE. A solar eclipse is a rare event in which the moon is between Earth and the Sun, blocking the view of the sun. In other parts of the United States, the view of the Sun will be totally blocked, constituting whats called a total eclipse. A total eclipse is a completely different event that is another level of coolness. So if they [the students] have that chance, they should absolutely take the chance to see a total eclipse if they ever can. The next one in Minnesota will be the year 2099, Astronomy and Planetary Science teacher Joseph Martin said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Drawing-8.sketchpad.png)

[ARTS BRIEF] One acts to stream, US Theater welcomes musical submissions
This year’s US One Acts will livestream on Mar. 19 at 7 p.m. This year’s shows are The Sandbox, directed by Eric Severson; DMV Tyrant, directed by Maren Ostrem and Evelyn Lillemoe; Five Women Wearing the Same Dress, directed by Gavin Kimmel; Second Best written by Anja Trierweiler and directed by Adeline DeHarpporte and Anja Trierweiler; Prometheus, the God(father), directed by Miranda Bance and Michael Moran; and Stew, written and directed by Adrienne Gaylord.
The Upper School spring musical will take a new direction, given the restrictions around singing in person and live performances. Instead of a specific show, students will perform a mix of large company numbers, solos, duets and small ensemble numbers which explore and celebrate the tropes of musical theater. Auditions will be submitted via video. Student videos are due Mar. 15, by 8 a.m. The show is set to livestream in late May or early June.
