In my father's car, slung around the gearshift, is an old broken LiveStrong bracelet. I think he just left the bracelet in the car when it broke, but its presence is appropriate, as my father is an avid cyclist and a Tour de France connoisseur.

"Ganesh" provokes thought

Gavin Huang / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Leaving the Hopkins Center with a feeling of awe or bewilderment is a familiar occurrence:theater at Dartmouth tends to err on the side of thought-provoking, regardless of its performative merit. "Ganesh Versus the Third Reich," which was performed at the Hop on Friday and Saturday, however, is not only stimulating, but also remarkable and impressive in its ability to upend the conventional standard of watching a play. If your standard theater performance is roughly the equivalent of a gin and tonic delicious and enjoyable yet rather ordinary "Ganesh" is a complicated, expertly crafted cocktail, perhaps containing two types of alcohol whose names you do not know, a dash of absinthe and a sprig of something that you will certainly be wondering about in the morning. "Ganesh" was created by Back to Back Theatre, a 25-year-old Australian company Back to Back Theatre and is directed by Bruce Galdwin.

Allison Wang / The Dartmouth Staff We are introduced to Conrad "Ronnie" Brean an amoral political spin-doctor and one of Robert De Niro's most acclaimed roles in a hectic White House Situation Room. "Where'd you go to school, kid," Brean asks the White House aide, played by Suzanne Cryer "Wellesley?" The actress in the 1997 comedy "Wag the Dog," described in the original screenplay as a "bright young woman in her 20s," responds plainly: "Dartmouth." "Then show a little spunk!" Brean retorts. The quick, albeit telling reference to Dartmouth made within the first 10 minutes of the film's opening scene is just one amongst a slew of the College's portrayals in cinema.
