'Little Shop' delivers with minimal set design, energetic cast

By Alicia Kim | March 9, 2009

Zeke Turner / The Dartmouth Senior Staff The back of the program for the Dartmouth theater department's latest musical, "Little Shop of Horrors," includes a special thank you "to ... an amazing cast for making it worth it to take a road trip to Virginia for a man-eating plant." Indeed, the musical would not have had the same overpowering intensity without the voracious plant puppet or the energetic cast, both of which commanded the attention of audiences this past weekend in the Hopkins Center's Bentley Theater. "Little Shop," based on the 1960 film of the same name, was originally composed by Alan Menken and written by the late Howard Ashman, who collaborated on Disney classics like "The Little Mermaid" (1989) and "Beauty and the Beast" (1991). The Dartmouth production was directed and choreographed by Chiara Klein '10, who chose to take on "Little Shop" because of its clever script and sharp comedic timing. "I could envision the musical being put on in Bentley," Klein said.

By John Ternovski | March 9, 2009

We are living in a time of change, when history is being made right before our eyes: America is led by a president who is not a white male, a financial crisis looms over most of the world, and one of the worst Holocaust movies in the history of cinema has won a slew of awards and an Oscar.

BOOKED SOLID: New book offers a guide to 'Saving the World'

By Lucy Randall | March 4, 2009

It must be nice to have it all figured out. In his new book, "Saving the World at Work: What Companies and Individuals Can Do to Go Beyond Making a Profit to Making a Difference" (2008), business lecturer and former Yahoo chief solutions officer Tim Sanders proposes a "Responsibility Revolution" that he claims will not only cure our environmental ills, but make us better workers, better citizens and happier people. A complete overhaul of the corrupt, cynical and unsustainable status quo will be ours if we see the revolution through the five phases Sanders identifies, he claims. Afterwards, "Social responsibility will be the new king.

AS SEEN ON: FOX's rickety 'Dollhouse' can't keep it together

By Brittany Coombs | February 25, 2009

It's tough not having a personality to call your own. Just ask any of the brainwashed beauties who regularly get their memories erased before donning new disguises in FOX's new sci-fi drama "Dollhouse." The show premiered two weeks ago to, deservingly, very little fanfare. In Dollhouse, young people called "Dolls" are carefully monitored by their "Handlers" within a hidden futuristic compound called "The Dollhouse," where they are kept blissfully unaware in between their illegal assignments as "Actives" in the real world. Actives are Dolls who have been temporarily endowed with new skills and personality traits.

Hop's invitational exhibition highlights printmaking

February 24, 2009

ASHLEY MITCHELL / The Dartmouth Staff The "Dartmouth Invitational Print Exhibition" currently on display in the Hopkins Center's Jaffe-Friede Gallery, proves that printmaking is an art form every bit as varied in technique and content as its more well-known counterparts -- namely photography and painting -- that often adorn the gallery's walls. Part of a biennial series of invitational exhibits focusing on different artistic media, the exhibit is hosted by the Studio Art Exhibition Committee, a group composed of seven studio art faculty members.
