Herbie Hancock features jazz fusions in captivating concert

‘Marriage' highlights senior majors

Courtesy of Laurie Kohn Courtesy of Laurie Kohn Over the weekend, nine Dartmouth theater majors participated in their last theater department production, Christopher Durang's monstrously funny yet infinitely tragic play "The Marriage of Bette and Boo" (1985). The production was a fitting culminating experience for the senior majors, and it was obvious from the polished performance that they used all the dramatic resources they had accumulated in their four years at the College. The play, which was put on with the help of several underclassmen in addition to the senior majors, tells the story of the supremely unhappy titular marriage and the difficult extended family circumstances surrounding it. Presented out of chronological order through countless short "snapshot" scenes, the play opens as Bette Brennan (Megan Rosen '10) begins her marriage, putting forth an irrepressibly sunny persona.
