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.

As senior Creative Writing majors toured Robert Frost's former home in Franconia, N.H., this past Saturday, the director of Frost Place made a very fitting announcement: Frost's celebrated and prolific collection of poetry was about to incorporate a poem previously unknown and unseen to the world. The never before published poem of the beloved poet and one-time Dartmouth student Robert Frost was discovered by a University of Virginia graduate student this past month.
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.

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.

"Let's try a short vignette for three people called 'Pole Dancer.' You be the pole, you're the dancer and you're shoving money in his g-string." This is the kind of awkward, on-the-spot, embarrassing moment that most people might have nightmares about for weeks.
