Welcome to Folsom Lake College's Online Newspaper
Update: As members of The Talon staff, we would like to take this semester to remember and honor a very dear Folsom Lake College English professor, Thomas Caramagno, who recently passed away from cancer. Tom had an immense influence on our college campus and in the lives of his friends, family, students, and colleagues. He will be missed greatly. To our readers, please submit any fond memories and photos of Tom to our staff at folsomlaketalon@gmail.com and we will post them on a permanent dedication page.

Spring Awakening“Nothing is okay unless it’s scripted in their Bible”, laments Melcior Gabor in one of Spring Awakening’s opening numbers.

Adolescence, self-confidence mixed with self-doubt, and the process of maturity set Duncan Sheik and Steven Slater’s hit musical Spring Awakening apart from the themes that people are...

Falcon's Eye Theater: The Crucible
The night of November 9th, 2013, I decided to take an evening off from studying to attend If you ever have a chance Falcon’s Eye Theatre’s production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible at the Harris Center for the Arts. I hate to admit it, but I’m not a tremendous fan of horror stories or movies, so attending this play definitely had me standing outside of my comfort zone. To my surprise, it wasn’t so terrifying after all. To get your imagination flowing, I’ll give you a glimpse inside the dark story line. The production starts in Salem, Massachusetts, with a group of...
