Senior's play produced in Biloxi

|

Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of articles profiling senior artists and their involvement in the arts at Dartmouth. In between classes and hurrying off to the shop to begin work on the set for the forthcoming Mainstage production "Far Away," Sarah Hughes '07 agreed to meet with The D for a brief interview regarding her extensive involvement in theater at Dartmouth. The winner of the 2006 Dodd Drama Prize, the president of WIRED!, the president of the Displaced Theater Organization, and one of just three theater majors in the Class of 2007, Hughes has certainly made her mark on Dartmouth theater. Hughes' approach to her passion for playwriting is quintessentially Dartmouth -- she has managed to pursue her love for the dramatic arts without entirely limiting her focus to them.

SITI Company romps hilariously through 'Midsummer'

|

This past Friday, the crowd buzzed eagerly in the Moore Theater while waiting for the first showing of SITI Company's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." As the audience filed into their seats, they were greeted by a simple but dreamlike backdrop of grey and white clouds and Puck (Jeffery Frac) playing a few chords on ... wait for it ... a banjo. It was fitting that one of Shakespeare's more revolutionary plays was performed by a theater company reputed for "creating bold new productions." When it was written in the mid-1590s, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was regarded as Shakespeare's departure from the English Renaissance and evidence of his brilliant imagination.

From the quill of Shakespeare sprang one of the most tantalizing plays in history, complete with arranged marriages, unrequited love, secret potions, enchantment in the forest and captivating fairies.

The ensemble-based theater company SITI will be showcasing their production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Moore Theater in the Hopkins Center on Friday, Sept.
