Students stay up all night for WiRED, immersed in theater

By Allison Levy | October 27, 2008

Andy Foust / The Dartmouth Staff At eight o'clock Saturday morning, while most of campus was still sleeping off Friday night, a small group of dedicated student actors filtered into the Bentley Theater at the Hopkins Center for the Arts. There they joined three pairs of playwrights and directors who had spent the last 12 hours chugging coffee as they penned three short plays for this Fall term's WiRED -- a theatrical challenge that invites its participants to write, cast, rehearse and perform plays within a 24-hour period once every term. As usual, the final product, performed at eight o'clock Saturday evening in the Bentley, provided plenty of laughs.

Lifetime-bound 'Runway' wraps up unimpressive fifth season

By Allison Ruderman | October 21, 2008

Courtesy of Demonoid.com It's curtains for "Project Runway!" Last Wednesday's landmark episode marked the end of season five and, quite possibly, Project Runway as we know it. Project Runway is embroiled in a nasty legal battle over a lucrative, five-year deal that its producers signed in April with Lifetime, taking the show away from Bravo, which has carried it since it began in 2004. Filming for season six is well underway, but the show may well find itself homeless once production wraps.

Hop broadcasts Met operas live in high def

October 16, 2008

Like a true prima donna, Karita Mattila only gave a few pithy remarks to the reporters outside her dressing room door as she walked to the stage to star in the Metropolitan Opera's production of "Salome" last Saturday. A Hanover audience assembled in the Loew Theater and viewers all around the world followed Mattila backstage thanks to the Met's Live in HD program, which broadcasts operas in high definition from New York. For the second consecutive year, Sydney Stowe, manager of film at the Hopkins Center for the Arts, has been the leading force in bringing the series to Dartmouth.

'Rock Band 2' fine-tunes gameplay, spotlights new genres

By Brittany Coombs | October 13, 2008

Anyone familiar with the many installments of the popular Guitar Hero series understands the problems that plague music-beat video games that establish a critically acclaimed franchise and a wide, devoted fan base. Players (and not just the obsessive, beer-bellied ones with muttonchops who live and breathe for Megadeth) typically want more features than those the developers have given them.
