'Horrors' to take over Bentley

|

Much singing, running, laughing and running will be heard in Bentley Theater tonight as Dartmouth's musical theater group, the Harlequins, presents two performances of "Little Shop of Horrors." The Howard Ashman and Alan Menken-penned musical, which is based on the 1960 Roger Corman movie, traces the story of Seymour Krelbourn (Adam Ballard '00), a lowly Skid Row flower-shop employee, as he finds a "strange and interesting plant" after a solar eclipse and subsequently rises to fame. Katy Flynn-Meketon '05, one of the student directors, said "Little Shop of Horrors" is the biggest show the Harlequins has done in recent years.

In the U.K., anything Blur releases will still find its way into the charts.

Spaulding to host folk legend

|

"If only one could be sure that every 50 years a voice and a soul like Odetta's would come along, the centuries would pass so quickly and painlessly we would hardly recognize the time," Maya Angelou said in 1999. We've seen her name and the face posted around campus for weeks now.

Acting mars 'Down With Love'

"Down With Love" is a tribute to the Rock Hudson and Doris Day comedies of the early '60s. The movie begins with a series of colorful cartoons and has a wonderfully retro feel throughout.
