"The Last Five Years," composer Jason Robert Brown's one-act musical, tells the story of a young couple's relationship and life together in New York over the span of five years. There are just two characters: twenty-something novelist Jamie (Brendan Lynch-Salamon '10) and struggling actress Cathy (Elise Hogan '09). Although a cast of two is unusual for a musical, it grants "The Last Five Years" a uniquely intimate theater experience.

But despite the similarities, don't expect tonight's performance to be a homogenous showcase of two fairly similar bands. The Chocolate Drops and Old School Freight Train play very different kinds of music.

Dartmouth students have long enjoyed showing each Worst Class Ever how, uh, excited and happy we are to welcome them to our college by aiming pranks at them. Some pranks have even become hallowed Dartmouth traditions -- rites of passage, if you will.

Welcome to Hanover, Class of 2011. In case you haven't noticed yet, it is not a large town. But if you're the claustrophobic type, don't panic. This fall, the Dartmouth Film Society is bringing cities all over the world to campus. Its film series, "Bright Lights, Big City," features an impressive lineup of movies that capture the aura of urban landscapes as far flung as London, San Francisco and Bombay.

In terms of dance, this should be an especially thrilling year. To kick off the fall, the Merce Cunningham Dance Company will perform the world premiere of "XOVER."

This term, an idea that began with a "what if" has become a two-night run of "One For the Road" in 105 Dartmouth Hall, directed by Bud Simis '08 and featuring a mostly professional, imported cast. As if all that weren't unusual enough, admission is free.

Dartmouth, is known for its vocal conservative alumni base, has become the subject of a number of blogs, now one of the means by which these alumni tout their opinions on campus and elsewhere.

Most Dartmouth students don't mentally calculate their protein intake for the day while waiting in the Food Court grill line. Few worry about whether they're getting a full serving, or three, of veggies or cheese or tofu when they throw together a Collis salad. There's no denying that academics, extracurricular involvement and/or raging have a way of taking up so much of Joe and Jane Dartmouth's time and brain space. Thinking about good nutrition just isn't always a priority. While the Freshman 15 may not happen to everyone, college eating is definitely very different from eating out in the real world, as every student transitioning from home to school for the first time soon discovers.

It can be hard to define exactly which elements of a production work and which don't, but at the end of the day, so much responsibility for a performance's success rests with the cast. So, take a classic comedy, add a solid lineup of talented actors, and there you have Dartmouth's excellent Winter term Mainstage production, George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man."

Nobel Prize and Academy Award winner George Bernard Shaw is widely considered one of the greatest playwrights of all time. His works are witty and insightful, both laugh-out-loud funny and intently serious -- the kind of plays that are a joy for actors and audiences alike.

Last year was a good year for music and classics professor Christian Wolff. His most recent recording, "Christian Wolff: Ten Exercises," has been named among the 50 best albums of the year in the annual list compiled by The Wire, a popular alternative music magazine. The album, released in September on New World Records, features 10 classical pieces best described as experimental, with the electric guitar often taking on as big a role as the piano and the trombone.

Bostridge, for whom this performance will be one of only three appearances in the United States this year, is one of the foremost opera singers and recitalists in the world.

The company's two shows at the Hopkins Center, on Jan. 4 and 5, both boasted strong turnouts -- and with good reason. Stephen Petronio, the company's artistic director and choreographer, has built quite a reputation since he founded the company in 1984. The recipient of a prestigious John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, among other awards, Petronio has choreographed and directed more than thirty works to date. The company has performed in 25 countries, and Petronio himself has garnered international praise for his unique choreography in the company's works.

Student productions are one of Dartmouth theater's best-kept secrets. Unfortunately, these excellent plays are all too often overshadowed by the (also excellent) mainstage productions, with which they tend to run concurrently. Students who did not catch the gem of a play that rocked the low-key Warner Bentley Theater this weekend missed quite a show.

It certainly is not easy to pull off a really scary play, the kind of unsettling performance that stays with you long after you leave the theater. Maybe you can't decide whether you loved it or hated it, probably because you're not totally comfortable with the new way it made you think about something -- war, hats, anything. It might leave you a little confused; you might even have a nightmare about it.

Those who stopped keeping tabs on this term's Mainstage play back in September might have noticed that "The Negro of Peter the Great" is no longer on the schedule.
