JENNIFER MOYNIHAN For the Daily Titan

Bell-bottoms, record players and psy- chedelic lights—a combination that makes one feel as though they’ve just entered a time warp. Michael Weller’s Moonchildren, directed by Travis Donnelly, turns the clocks back about fifty years to explore the social and cultural aspects that arose from the war, protest and free love of the 1960s. The play premiered Friday at Cal State Fullerton’s Hallberg Theatre. Despite the numerous historical events that take place during the decade, the play instead examines the lives of seven college roommates and their journey from adoles- cence to adulthood. Moonchildren presents a unique twist on the classic coming of age story. In addition to challenges that most college students face, such as deciding what classes to take or what major to have, the roommates also deal with issues marked by their era. The political implications caused by the war raise existential questions for the roommates about their futures and pur- Moonchildren presents a unique twist on the classic coming of age story.

Today, the word concert is most often associated with a musician or band performing for a specific group with two or three opening acts. The focus is usually on the main act, rarely on the openers, but never on the people who make it all possible: the audience. On Monday the Santa Ana Observatory, with its assorted concertgoers, welcomed Irish Punk and Boston heroes, The WILLIAM CAMARGO / Daily Titan Dropkick Murphys. Models strut the catwalk in beachwear designs at the fourth annual Orange County Fashion Showcase.
