Siobhán O’Loughlin, a 2009 graduate of Towson University, is redefining what it means to experience live theater in the digital age. Her return to Towson this past weekend with her solo immersive show, The Fantastical of Now, was not just a homecoming for a celebrated alumna—it was a glimpse into the future of performance art, where the boundaries between audience, performer, and technology are delightfully blurred.

The chain of French-style South Korean bakeries and cafes might be familiar to you if you’ve spent time carbo-loading in New York or New Jersey lately. There are dozens of locations between the two states already, and it is one of the fastest growing bakery franchies in the U.S. But there were none in Baltimore County until about 10 days ago, when a branch in Towson opened at 4 E.

Dear Sarah,

I went through a rough patch a few months ago. Essentially, it was situational depression — I cried myself to sleep, struggled to get out of bed, and nothing felt fulfilling. I worked with my therapist and started to get into some new hobbies. I was beginning to feel better and thought I was past that bad time.

But the past few days, it’s felt like I’m back at the beginning, and I’ve just felt awful. It’s like my progress was a fluke. I keep doing my hobbies, but I don’t feel any better. I don’t get it. On paper, my life is great. But I feel so empty and disconnected.

What the heck is going on, and how do I get back to feeling better?

Signed,

What’s Wrong with Me?!
