Laugh Track: No shortage of funny business at Dartmouth

Theater department stages ‘American Idiot’ at the Hopkins Center for the Arts
(06/01/26 6:00am)
Projections of former President George W. Bush, the war on terror and news clips from the post-9/11 era filled the wall behind a troupe of disgruntled youth. As a fast guitar riff kicked into gear, the words “don’t wanna be an American idiot” rang out like a gunshot from one of the performers before the rest of the company fell into song about war, propaganda and national tension.
Dartmouth College Wind Ensemble premieres original symphony by Arturo Márquez
(05/29/26 6:05am)
The Dartmouth College Wind Ensemble premiered a new symphony — titled “Sinfonía Nómada,” which translates to “Nomadic Symphony” — by Mexican composer Arturo Márquez on May 23. DCWE is the resident student ensemble at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.
Kruse Reviews: ‘I Love Boosters’ is an anti-capitalist acid trip that mostly works
(05/29/26 6:00am)
Even describing “I Love Boosters” presents a strange challenge. It’s a film so committed to its own weirdness that its plot turns and genre-bending are almost impossible to believe without actually seeing it. For any of its flaws, of which there are several, there’s no denying that the movie is the product of the singular, uncompromising vision of writer-director Boots Riley.
Kruse Reviews: ‘The Boys’ spins its wheels to an underwhelming conclusion
(05/22/26 1:45pm)
It’s become clear over five seasons that the writers of “The Boys” are far better at setting up an interesting premise than actually delivering on one. While Season 4 was the least consistent of the bunch so far, it ended on a tantalizing cliffhanger that seemed to wash away the sins of a clunky buildup and weaker writing. Megalomaniacal superhuman antagonist Homelander (Antony Starr) and the superhero megacorp Vought had effectively seized control of the presidency, while most of The Boys — the show’s titular group of ragtag anti-superhero black ops — were captured and imprisoned. The stakes were set for an explosive, high-stakes finale.
Displaced Theatre Company stages student-led production of ‘Clue’
(05/22/26 1:50pm)
From May 22 to May 24, the Displaced Theatre Company — a student-run contemporary theatre organization — will perform “Clue” at 7 p.m. in the Warner Bentley Theater at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.
Inside Avalanche, the student band that opened Green Key
(05/18/26 5:15am)
In the days before they took the Green Key stage, members of the student band Avalanche kept a light atmosphere in the practice room as they riffed off of each other. Members threw out ideas for songs to cover, offered advice about each other’s technique and cracked jokes before starting up on their setlist. The pressure of opening for one of Dartmouth’s biggest events seemed not to be a burden.
Review: ‘The Last Class’ showcases pressing issues faced by America’s elite universities
(05/18/26 5:05am)
In a January op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, College president Sian Leah Beilock argued that American higher education faces a “trust problem.” She wrote that colleges can be “too ideological” and students are often taught “what rather than how to think.” Her arguments are a response to a question faced by many elite universities across the country: What is, after all, the point of higher education?
DSO and Dance Ensemble stage 'Firebird' across two Hop theaters
(05/18/26 5:10am)
On May 8 and 9, Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra and the Dartmouth Dance Ensemble presented “Firebird,” a simulcast performance of Russian composer Igor Stravinsky’s “The Firebird,” a 1910 ballet. The DSO performed live in Spaulding Auditorium in the Hopkins Center for the Arts, while a projection of the dance ensemble played behind the musicians. In the Daryl Roth Studio Theater, the dance ensemble performed to a live audio feed of the orchestra.
Hop on pop: reflecting on the new Top of the Hop
(05/15/26 6:00am)
From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, part of the second floor of the Hopkins Center for the Arts — a social hub known as the Top of the Hop — welcomes the community for music, conversation, snacks and drinks. The bar hours are a new addition since the Hop reopened in fall 2025, Hop director of external affairs Michael Bodel wrote in an email statement to The Dartmouth.
Ten Grouplove songs other than ‘Tongue Tied’ worth listening to before (and after) Green Key
(05/15/26 6:05am)
Putting together this list was much harder than I expected. As someone who listens to a pretty wide range of music, I have always found corporate indie pop-rock to be one of the most frustrating genres imaginable because so much of it sounds engineered to be universally inoffensive instead of driven by genuine artistic intent. Between the endless hand-claps and “woo-ooh-oh” refrains, it is obvious that Grouplove — currently consisting of lead vocalists Christian Zucconi and Hannah Hooper, lead guitarist Andrew Wessen, bassist Daniel Gleason and drummer Benjamin Homola — is trapped in the sonic amber of the early 2010s indie-pop boom. But buried beneath all of that hyperactive, Tumblr-era optimism are flashes of genuine vulnerability, infectious hooks and bittersweetly straightforward lyrics that give the band’s chaotic sound far more character and sincerity than I first expected.

(05/11/26 6:00am)

The exhibition is part of a larger series commemorating the United States’ 250th anniversary through an examination of identity and consumer culture in American works.

Review: ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour’ pushes music and cinema to their emotional limits
(05/08/26 6:00am)
Experiencing “Billie Eilish — Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)” felt like witnessing the payoff of nearly a decade of Billie Eilish’s artistic evolution. I attended one of the early listening screenings for the “Hit Me Hard and Soft” album back in 2024, and returning for another early screening two years later — this time for the shot-for-IMAX concert film documenting the album tour that my wallet unfortunately forbade me from attending in person — made the entire experience resonate with me on a deeply personal level.
Review: ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ stitches the past and present into a stylish return
(05/08/26 6:00am)
“Maybe some things have changed,” Andrea “Andy” Sachs (Anne Hathaway) mumbles upon re-entering the office of fashion magazine Runway, 20 years after leaving her job as personal assistant to editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). “Some things” certainly have, and “The Devil Wears Prada 2” brilliantly captures the pressure that old-school franchises now face in a rapidly shifting digital economy.
Kruse Reviews: ‘I Swear’ is a hilarious and deeply moving portrait of life with Tourette syndrome
(05/04/26 6:15am)
Through its two-hour run time, “I Swear” maintains a remarkable tonal balance that elevates it from an entertaining film to a truly great one. It approaches Tourette syndrome with searing intimacy, never shying away from the awful consequences that those who live with it endure, and yet it also recognizes the humor inherent in its manifestations. The film masterfully presents its subject’s tics?— shouting “half-price heroin!” in front of police officers, “I’m a pedo!” during a job interview or “fuck the Queen!” during an audience with Elizabeth II herself — as simultaneously horrifying and outrageously funny. The movie’s command of its emotional register also allows it to be unexpectedly poignant as it tells an extremely personal true story that’s both heartbreaking and inspiring.
Hood Museum tour opens galleries to visitors with dementia
(05/01/26 6:00am)
On April 24, Hood Museum of Art hosted its quarterly “Art in Focus” tour, an interactive program designed for people with dementia-related illnesses and their caregivers in collaboration with Dartmouth Health’s Aging Resource Center.
Review: ‘Invincible’ raises the bar in its best season yet
(05/01/26 6:05am)
Season 4 of the adult animated superhero series “Invincible” delivers high stakes and an even higher emotional payoff as the conflict between the heroes and the Viltrumites — the space-faring race of Superman analogues — comes to a head. Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) embraces a more cynical approach to heroism after his destructive skirmish with the Viltrumite Conquest (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) left him with the resolve to stop holding back from killing his opponents. Mark adopted his blue and black suit during season 3 and keeps it for much of this season, reflecting a darker period of his life.
