The date September 11, 2001, is seared in America’s national memory as a day of collective grief and profound horror. Yet it is within this context of national tragedy that Canadian couple Irene Sankoff and David Hein’s hit musical “Come From Away” tells a true story of universal compassion. The Tony-nominated musical has made its way to White River Junction’s very own Northern Stage. Directed by Carol Dunne, the 100-minute local production opened previews on Sept. 24, marking the first show of Northern Stage’s fall season.

In August, professor of English and creative writing Peter Orner published a new historical fiction novel, “The Gossip Columnist’s Daughter.” The story follows Jed Rosenthal, a struggling writer who grows obsessed with the murder of starlet Karyn Kupcinet — a real-life incident. Combining historical fact and fictional characters, Orner creates what The New York Times called “a moody and engrossing meditation on the ephemerality of memory, the persistence of family myths and a haunting ode to a bygone Chicago.” On Nov. 4, the new creative writing campus space Literary Arts Bridge will be hosting a reading and conversation about the novel with Orner and the cartoonist Liniers. The Dartmouth sat down with Orner to discuss his inspiration and writing process for the novel.

James Wan’s 2013 horror film “The Conjuring” dramatized the exploits of real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in a thrilling and uncommonly poignant horror film.

For international students like me, the Cambridge Dictionary isn’t just helpful for essay writing. It’s also a survival tool during dining-hall conversations and the occasional lost-in-translation group chat. Sure, it can help polish grammar and untangle obscure terms in class readings. But dig a little deeper and you’ll find something else entirely: words straight from the internet, slang that feels miles away from anything academic and is surprisingly similar to what your younger siblings are probably texting right now.

“Weapons” writer-director Zach Cregger understands that what makes us scream and what makes us laugh aren’t really all that different. With his 2022 debut feature film “Barbarian,” the pedestrian premise of a double-booked Airbnb veered into a completely different type of film altogether. With “Weapons,” Cregger has expanded his narrative scope and his directorial ambition to produce a sprawling mystery unravelled from six distinct character perspectives.

Directed by Akiva Schaffer, “The Naked Gun” is the fourth film in the eponymous franchise inspired by the spoof 1980s TV show “Police Squad.” Liam Neeson stars as Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. of the Los Angeles Police Department, the son of Leslie Nielsen’s original detective protagonist from the preceding trilogy. Styled after classic film noirs, the plot follows a murder investigation that gradually reveals a greater conspiracy. Pamela Anderson costars as Beth Davenport, a crime novelist and sister of the murdered man.
When I sat down to watch the latest film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I felt long detached from it. Though once a diehard fan, I lost interest in following the convoluted multiversal plotlines, multiple miniseries and hosts of new characters following “Avengers: Endgame.” However, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” — a standalone film within the MCU — boasts a unique aesthetic, some good acting and strong themes despite featuring plenty of the typical “Marvel-isms.”
