"Musclebound," a one-man multimedia play, will bring the audience in Collis Common Ground into the not-often-revealed and frightening world of male physical self-improvement.
"Choke" is a charming little movie, but appreciating it requires an enthusiastic appetite for sleaze.
A look at the Hopkins Center's fall season lineup
Lisa French Energy, passion, power -- DV8 Physical Theatre brings all of these to the Hopkins Center this Friday and Saturday with the North American premiere of "To Be Straight with You." Conceived and directed by Lloyd Newson and funded by the Arts Council of Great Britain, the production explores the implications and roots of intolerance surrounding religion and sexuality. The internationally known group has produced 15 performances and five award-winning films since its formation in 1986, pushing the boundaries of political expression with its unique mixture of message and emotion.
What did you read this summer?

The summer arts festival AFRICAS continued its exploration of African cultures on Friday with a tribute to Mahamat Saleh Haroun, a film director from Chad whose feature films "Bye Bye Africa" (1999), "Abouna" (2002) and "Daratt" (2006) have received international acclaim. The Dartmouth Film Society paid tribute to Haroun in an evening that included the presention of the Dartmouth Film Award and a screening of his newest film, "Daratt" (2006). The tribute began with a short and disastrous clip from Haroun's first feature, "Bye Bye Africa," a docu-drama starring Haroun, who plays a fictionalized version of himself, as he returns home following the death of his mother.

Ever since the release of Sacha Baron Cohen's satirical sensation, any mention of the words "Kazakhstan" and "movie" in the same breath inevitably conjures up images of the eponymous, fictitious TV journalist who had a funny accent and poor table manners.
