THE DARTMOUTH NEWS

DAily debriefing Robert Dellinger, a Sunapee resident and former Fortune 500 executive implicated in an Interstate 89 collision that killed a couple in early December, was denied bail on second-degree murder charges at an arraignment on Dec. 27, the Valley News reported. Dellinger is now awaiting his Jan. 14 probable cause hearing. Prosecutors initially charged Dellinger with manslaughter but subsequently upgraded the charges to second-degree murder, for which the maximum sentence constitutes life in prison. Prosecutors alleged that Dellinger drove his pickup truck into the couple’s oncoming vehicle on I-89 in a suicide attempt, according to the Valley News. Dellinger resigned from his executive position in 2011 due to health issues and is reported to have taken insomnia and antidepressant medication prior to the collision. A bill introduced in Vermont by David Zuckerman, P-Chittenden, would create a framework to regulate and tax the sale of cannabis while also allowing adults to possess up to one ounce of marijuana for recreational use, the Valley News reported. Zuckerman asserted that legalization would reduce incentive for black market trade and allow taxpayer dollars to be directed toward addiction education and treatment. Sen. Jeannette White, D-Windham, introduced a bill last year to eliminate the existing 1,000-person limit on the number of patients who can acquire marijuana through a dispensary. The New Hampshire House of Representatives will vote early this year on a bill to legalize the maximum amount of marijuana for recreational use by those 21 and older, The Daily Chronicle reported. Even if the bill passes in the House, its future looks uncertain, as the Senate last year rejected legislation to decriminalize smaller amounts of marijuana for recreational use. Shane Harlow of Quechee, Vt., a former Dartmouth Safety IVL ;MK]ZQ\a WNÅKMZ _I[ [MV\MVKML \W Å^M aMIZ[ in prison and assigned to a treatment program for sexually assaulting two girls, the Valley News reported. The victims’ family pleaded for a longer sentence, but the judge stated that she had taken Harlow’s cooperation with the police and lack of a prior criminal record into account. Harlow was also involved in an unrelated misdemeanor count, in which he stood accused of running over the body of a Dartmouth graduate student in late 2012. It is uncertain whether Harlow’s car hit the body before or after the student’s death on Interstate 91. He received a 30-day sentence.

ED acceptance rate holds steady FROM ADMISSIONS PAGE 1

the target size of the incoming class has grown from 1,090 students to 1,120 students,” Laskaris said. The overall acceptance rate for the Class of 2017 was 10 percent, an increase from 9.4 percent for the Class of 2016. The College postponed this fall’s early application deadline from Nov. 1 to Nov. 8 after prospective students and high school counselors reported problems with the Common Application’s online system. 4I[SIZQ[ QVLQKI\ML \PI\ \PM LQNÅK]T\QM[ caused by the Common Application did not adversely affect Dartmouth’s early decision review process. “The one-week delay did not negatively impact our ability to complete the selection process along the timeline we PIL QLMV\QÅML º [PM [IQL Cornell University, Columbia University, Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University also decided to postpone the early application deadline.

mon Application also arose on Jan. 1, the regular decision deadline, admissions director Paul Sunde said. Dartmouth, along with several other institutions, responded to the problems by extending its regular decision deadline to Jan. 10. Aside from server crashes and application lockouts, many issues for Dartmouth applicants stemmed from confusion surrounding a new policy for submitting peer reviews, Sunde said. “We added the peer review as part of the Common Application, which was a change from last year,” he said. “A portion of applicants misunderstood the new directions, and while we will still expect the peer review, it can now be submitted after the application.” Kyle Tarantino ’18 indicated his support for the College’s early decision program. ¹-^MZaWVM [Ia[ \PQ[ J]\ \PM ÅZ[\ \QUM I stepped on the Green I really did know Dartmouth was the right spot for me,” Tarantino said. “I’m grateful I had the chance to indicate my preference for the College, and I think taking a big portion of the incoming class from early decision helps make sure that the incoming freshman class is excited to be here.”

Rajiv Ramaiah ’18 also said he appreciated the early decision option. “I felt excited and relieved that I _I[ IJTM \W IXXTa IVL OM\ QV\W Ua ÅZ[\ choice college,” Ramaiah said. “I was grateful that I would actually have a winter break free from writing essays for other colleges.” The mean SAT score for admitted students is 2156, and the mean ACT is 32.1, according to a College press release. The average SAT score is slightly higher than last year’s mean of 2141 for students admitted through the early decision process. Among students whose high schools report academic rankings, 34 percent of admitted students to the Class of 2018 are valedictorians, a number consistent with past years. Ninety-four percent of students are ranked in the top 10 percent of their class, an increase from last year’s 86 percent. Throughout the Ivy League, early admissions decisions were released to students in mid-December. Early acceptance rates at Harvard University, Princeton and Yale increased in comparison to those of last year’s class, while acceptance rates at Brown and Cornell decreased.

students a glimpse of the country’s rural population, but students also met with local government members and foundations. After the students’ academic preparation during the course, the travel portion allowed them to test their ideas against the reality of India’s economic system, Wheelan said. With upcoming elections this year, a vibrant democracy and various economic uncertainties, this is an interesting time to study India, he said. The class concluded the trip by producing a collaborative 70page policy memo with specific recommendations for the Indian government regarding the country’s prosperity. The course took advantage of the winter interim period, which was lengthened in 2012 to include Thanksgiving. “For the purpose of this class, it’s a perfect period,â€? Wheelan said. “Because we had two weeks, we had plenty of time to do what we needed to do.â€? Having previously led a similar program for graduate students at the University of Chicago, Wheelan said he adjusted the trip for Dartmouth undergraduates. The public policy class involved more preparation than a traditional KW]Z[M 7NNMZML NWZ \PM Ă… Z[\ \QUM \PQ[

Somehow their pledge term came up — a tired topic, I know, but one that in this instance merits revisiting. I laughed it off as a bizarre regimen they force upon themselves to become hardened frat bros. They protested, of course, and said that it was much more than that. These activities were important and good for the brotherhood. Skeptical, I asked them, point blank, how many times they threw up during pledge term.

I know many students, my friends included, who exhibit these symptoms. That hazing essentially requires alcoholic behavior from new fraternity members is troubling. And just as disturbing is how my friends felt compelled to defend how often they threw up during pledge term. They explained that it is important to know how to “pull your triggerâ€? — that is, make yourself vomit.

When I asked if they could see how warped their logic was, they maintained their stance: hazing was good for them.

Students need to recognize how weird — and yes, I think weird is the correct word for imposing blatant bodily harm upon yourself and others for fun — some of the norms surrounding pledge term are.

Women’s hockey sees 1-5-0 interim

B y Macy ferguson dŚĞ ĂƌƚŵŽƵƚŚ ^ƚĂī

The women’s ice hockey team has kept fans and foes on their toes so far this season with several close losses. Over the break, the team (3-12-0, 2-7-0 ECAC) went 1-5-0, suffering four one-goal losses. The team’s lone win came on Dec. 31 against the Providence College Friars in Hanover. The team faced stiff competition over the interim, facing off against then No. 5 Harvard University and No. 8 Boston University. “I think honestly playing teams that are ranked in the top 10 push our limits,” cocaptain Ali Winkel ’14 said. “We stepped up to the occasion and we did play really well and it goes to show that when we give 110 percent we can play really well and keep up.” 1V \PM ÅZ[\ OIUM WN \PM JZMIS \PM women fell to Northeastern University 2-1 in overtime.

Before sunrise on Dec. 9, Big Green swimmers and divers set off on a training trip to Puerto Rico, only a few hours after they finished competing in the Big Al Open hosted by Princeton University. The 10-day trip pushed athletes

“The training trip is probably the time when they actually can really start to be fully inte-­‐ grated because during the fall the training is ridiculously hectic, and they’re getting accus-­‐ tomed to school.” ͳ E Z t EKZd, ͛ϭϰ to work hard but allowed them to enjoy each other’s company in the sun — a bonding experience unlike any campus training. The athletes began practicing the afternoon of their arrival at Sacred Heart University, in San Juan. The trip was not a vacation. From Tuesday through Friday, the teams had two daily practice sessions, a significant increase from their scheduled workload during the academic term.

Each day, the swimmers met in the lobby to leave for practice before 7 a.m. The swimmers warmed up as a team and then divided into three groups — sprint, stroke and distance — to polish specific skills. In the sprint group, the swimmers cycled through kicking, breath control and a high-intensity resistance station. “We’d be belted into these resistance cords and we’d have to do a certain number of stroke cycles on a one-minute interval,” co-captain Natalia Vecerek ’14 said. Sprinters also completed a broken swim, in which a standard 200-meter race is divided into four 50-meter swims separated by 10 seconds of rest. In another exercise, they swam as fast as they could for as long as possible. The distance group faced a grueling set of six 900-meter swims. “The training was really tough, but it definitely got better as we went on and as we got used to it,” Cristiana Salvatori ’17 said. The team also participated in an activity called King of the Hill. Each swimmer raced a set of 20 200-meter swims as quickly as possible, trying to achieving the lowest average time. Aside from double practices, the team also had lift for an hour every other day. “It was a lot of swimming, a

l o t of hard work,” said co-captain Christine Kerr ’14. Team members recuperated between practices in ways foreign to Hanover’s frigid temperatures, like lounging by the hotel pool or napping on the beach. But besides the grueling workouts, the trip allowed the team to bond quickly after a whirlwind fall. One day between practices, athletes toured Old San Juan, and over the weekend, with only one workout session each day, the teams had ample

A day-long catamaran cruise took them to an island and later to a coral reef where they snorkeled for the remainder of the trip. “It was beautiful, and it was so much fun,” Salvatori said, “and we had the afternoon off, which was a treat.” A day trip to El Yunque, a tropical rain forest, filled Sunday afternoon. Swimmers hiked 1.4 miles to a waterfall, where they stopped to take photos and wade in the water. Yet the next

week, tours and other activities — such as a team “date night,” exchanging holiday gifts and touring the Bacardi Rum factory — broke up the day’s four hours of training. To celebrate the end of the trip on Wednesday night, the team dined together at Texas de Brazil, a Brazilian steakhouse. The final, full-group dinner has become a tradition on training trips, Vecerek said. The next morning, swimmers congregated for the hardest practice of the trip, 100x100, where they swam approximately 6.2 miles nonstop in roughly two hours. To head coach Jim Wilson, these touch workouts are just one benefit to team travel. Swimmers had a chance far away from the regular Dartmouth grind to bond as a team. “We claim it’s for training, we make it nice weather so everyone will want to do it, but it’s that bonding experience,” Wilson said. Whether it was practicing in the pool or exploring the city, the team members spent most of the trip together. “We did a lot of fun stuff together, but we also struggled through the hard parts together,” Salvatori said. “I definitely feel a lot closer to everyone, and I know everyone a little bit better.” This experience can especially help freshmen ac-

climate to the team. “The training trip is probably the time when they actually can really start to be fully integrated because during the fall the training is ridiculously hectic, and they’re getting accustomed to school,” North said. Having a close-knit team is essential for competitions, where support from teammates can make a huge difference, swimmers said. “This really pays off at the end of the season for us, which is our

Swimming and div-

ing members view other competitions as essentially practice for the culminating race. According to Wilson, the team avoids focusing on winning each meet like most sports, instead concentrating their focus on the Ivy League Championships. This year, the Big Green hope to finish fourth in both men’s and women’s, a rank above last year’s fifth place finishes. “It literally will take a perfect race from every swimmer on the Dartmouth team to be able to do that,” Kerr said, “but I think if we put in the hard work and have the right mindset, and if we can channel all the hard work that we put into training trip over the next few months, I think it’s definitely possible for us to do that.” After a morning practice on Thursday, the athletes packed up their bags and headed to the airport. Days after they returned home, the athletes reassembled in Tampa Bay, Fla., where they competed in the January 4 Tampa Relay Carnival. Nearly one month after the Big Al Open where the men’s and women’s teams respectively finished second and third both teams took to the pool in central Florida and finished first. While admittedly the opposition was different, it was hard to argue with the result.

Gaudet told Dartmouth Sports. Despite the loss, Gaudet remained upbeat about his squad and noted its positive uptick. Earlier in the season, the Dartmouth men fell to the Dutchmen 7-2.

The loss snapped the Big Green’s (7-5, 0-0 Ivy) four-game winning streak, the team’s longest in nine years. The team started break with a win at the University of Maine before a tough road trip to the Midwest where they fell to Northern Illinois University, Indiana UniversityPurdue University Fort Wayne and Illinois University. But the team rebounded when they returned to the East Coast, where the Big Green ran off four consecutive wins against Jacksonville State University, the University of New Hampshire, Longwood University and Lesley University.

The Big Green tried to come back in the third, ripping eight shots to BU’s seven, but came up just short. “Against Providence honestly that was a huge win for us, we were losing and came back and I think that showed the whole \MIU KWUQVO JIKS NZWU I LMĂ…KQ\ _QTT OM\ us pumped up if we are ever in a situation like that,â€?

ONE ON ONE

WITH JOHN GOLDEN ’15

B y Katie jarrett dŚĞ ĂƌƚŵŽƵƚŚ ^ƚĂī

This week, I sat down with forward John Golden ’15 of the men’s basketball team — which went 5-4 over the break — to talk about the team’s success during the interim and what it’s like to be an athlete at the College. The team’s break included trips to Indiana and Illinois, as well as a four game win streak that helped keep them above .500 and propel them to the fourth-best record in the Ivy League entering play in the Ancient Eight. What do you think accounted for the team’s success during the interim? JG: I think we really started to gel over break. We play well together as a team. I think one of the things that has helped us win so far is our ability to share the ball. Any guy on our team could be the leading scorer any night.

What enabled you personally to improve in these interim games, including your perfect six-for-six shooting performance against Lesley University? JG: During the interim it was great to be able to only focus on basketball. I think I was able to stay focused and work on my game, as did all of my teammates, in order to play better. What do you think was the best moment for the team during interim? JG: I think our win at the University of New Hampshire [62-48] was a big turning point for us as a team. It’s always difficult to win away games, and to be able to go up there and get a solid win was a huge confidence booster.

What was your personal highlight over the break? JG: My personal highlight was probably the three straight games we won before the break. I don’t think we had won three in a row since I have been here, so to be able to do that early in the season is a great feeling.

What was it like to be on campus when most students were away? JG: It was definitely tough. Some of the other winter sports had a longer break than us, so for a little while it was basically only the basketball team on campus. It was tough, but we get along well as a team, and we took a trip to Illinois and Indiana for about a week to break up the time on campus. How was the trip? JG: The trip to Illinois was fun, although we definitely wanted to pick up a few wins out there [the team fell to Northern Illinois University, Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne and Illinois University]. It was also an awesome experience to play in front of a huge and enthusiastic crowd at Illinois.

Loyal readers, welcome back to the greatest show on earth. It’s a new term and for many of you, that probably means a new, fresh start. You probably vowed to really change things around this term, probably because mom and dad saw your grades and were a little disappointed because they “pay enough for a nice house or an entire city block in Detroit” for you to go here. We get it. You probably told yourself that you wouldn’t go out five nights a week, you would do your reading for your classes and only use the “Greenprint doesn’t really work and my blitz also failed” excuse once per class at most. You are probably going to eat right and go to Alumni Gym at least three times a week. Well, we didn’t waste our time with any of those resolutions for two reasons. First, it’s cold and FoCo is closer than Alumni Gym. Second, in the words of one of our personal heroes, we aren’t trying to be the kings of exercise. It’s all about the Almighty W. What else is there? And 2014 is the year to do it, especially against all odds. Those of you who have turned on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” or picked up a newspaper in the last six days know that 2014 is officially the year of the upset.

On New Year’s Day, Central Florida came out of left field and punished what should have been a dominant Baylor team in the Fiesta Bowl. Manchester United fell out of contention for the FA Cup with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Swansea City in the third round. Roger Federer dropped the Brisbane International tournament right before the Australian

And on the second day of the year, Oklahoma stuck it to Nick Saban and Alabama (though we will admit that despite the loss on the field, there is some argument to be made that AJ McCarron is still dating Katherine Webb and can’t really lose). And of course, the biggest upset of the year, the return of The Dartmouth’s most-read column

(at least by our parents): The Rec League Legends. That’s right, super fans, we retooled, regunned and, most importantly, relaxed with the diligence and tenacity that you have come to know and expect from us over break. While our moms did our laundry, cooked for us and acted as our designated drivers when we went out with our high school buddies, we had free time to think about the important things in our lives — and, or course, this column. We’re back and better than ever. Now we are not going to be those seniors who get all nostalgic about this being our last winter in Hanover for the foreseeable future (fingers crossed, mom and dad). But as Rec League Legends, you better believe that we will get out there and enjoy this winter. Expect skiing (alpine, not cross-country, because that is a commitment all its own), snow shoeing and other snow-related activities that we don’t know of because we are from below the Mason-Dixon line. Most importantly, fans, this term, we will step onto the ice sheet at Thompson Arena and play the greatest game ever created by your deity of choice: hockey. It’s going to be a huge term, loyal readers. There will be blood, sweat and tears. Just kidding, not tears. Legends never cry. Except for once, but “Marley and Me” (2008) is sad and it was totally acceptable then. Whatever. We’re going to win. We promise. Stay tuned.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: CHECK YOURSELF

If you could choose one professional basketball player to meet, who would it be and why? JG: Michael Jordan. I know he isn’t a current player in the NBA, but he is the reason I fell in love with basketball growing up and is one of the greatest athletes of all time. Do you see basketball in your future? JG: I could see myself playing basketball after college. If I am given a chance to play overseas for a pretty good team, I think it would be a great experience. This interview has been edited and condensed.

I counted 15 people walking out mid-screening from “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013). Included in that group were some older people, a couple on a date and an enterprising gentleman who took his children to see the film in lieu of “Frozen” (2013) or “A Madea Christmas” (2013). While I applaud him for introducing his children to the works of director Martin Scorsese, “The Wolf of Wall Street” is a balls-to-the-wall exercise in extravagance and debauchery that would make Caligula blush. Based on Jordan Belfort’s eponymous memoir, “The Wolf of Wall Street” follows Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) from his bright-eyed arrival on Wall Street to his downfall as a wealthy, drug-addicted

libertine. At a butt-numbing 179 minutes, the film is both an epic and intimate portrait that exhausts the audience to the point of physical and emotional depletion. This is partly due to the film’s “access point,” the character with whom the audience is meant to identify. The viewer is sucked into Belfort’s crazy life and starts to see the world through his twisted moral viewpoint. DiCaprio portrays Belfort as the life of the party — irresistibly charming, the guy could sell snow to a polar bear. Yet Belfort is ruthless in pursuit of his version of the American Dream, with no size constraints on his house, bank account or hubris. His wife is a veritable goddess, and his cocaine habit makes Tony Montana’s look restrained. Belfort even breaks the fourth wall to show his disdain for society’s

rules. When the film does pivot away from Belfort’s point of view, it’s jarring to go back to a “normal” life. The sinful one seems so much more...fun. In a testament to Scorsese’s versatility, “The Wolf of Wall Street” is a portrait of a man like his “The Aviator” (2004), but this film manages to be pretty damn funny. The comedy hinges on its absurdity; the laughter is uncomfortable, but it’s the only natural reaction to observing these amoral sociopaths. After a while, somewhere around the fourth cocaine-fueled orgy, I started to question the film’s point. I understood that Belfort’s life was hollow and superficial, but why did it have to be hammered again and again and again and again? Scorsese is not a director known for his lack of nuance, but

he and Thelma Schoonmaker, his longtime editor, seem to make sure that even the most thick-headed audience member understands what’s happening. The resulting film runs too long, a fitting characteristic for a film dedicated to excess and all of its subtleties. Some scenes play out like the “Saturday Night Live” skits that follow the second musical performance, meandering until they reach the punch line. But the film’s length cannot detract from the power of its visual viciousness and per formances. There were early repor ts that the film would receive an NC-17 rating, and although “The Wolf of Wall Street” is rated R, I wouldn’t question anyone who mistakes it for a porno. The storyline manages to feature breasts and bodily fluids that fly in the remnants of cocaine

dust clouds. The real winner in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” however, is Jonah Hill, who plays Belfort’s social-climbing sidekick, Donnie. I mar veled at a man who has moved so far past the juvenile roles that put him on the map. Donnie might be even more frightening than Jordan, because in the end, at least Jordan has a soul. Donnie is a consumer and represents the battle between Main Street and Wall Street, but of course, in this case, the latter wins out. Donnie, Jordan and their merr y band of stock marketplaying hooligans are Gordon Gekko incarnated, and they chant his mantra — “greed is good” — incessantly. By the end, you may believe it, too. Rating: 8.8/10 “The Wolf of Wall Street” is currently playing at the Nugget.

which were well attended by alumni and students seeking refuge from the cold. Sing Dynasty, one of Dar tmouth’s coeducational groups, avoided cold weather entirely by touring for two weeks in California. The group began in San Francisco, stopped in Los Angeles and finished in San Diego. Members also performed on the streets of major cities, tour manager Graham Churchill ’16 said. “Tour gave us an opportunity to improve our musicality and

technical ability,” Churchill said. “[It] helped forge a powerful interpersonal group dynamic that enhanced our performances.” When they were not performing, Dartmouth groups spent time bonding with fellow members. With no classes to stress over, members said they could better enjoy each other’s company. The Subtleties visited Ottawa’s museums and outdoor markets. The group also visited the Parliament building, where members were able to sit in on a session. In San Francisco, Sing Dynasty visited the Haight-Ashbur y district and Golden Gate Park.

Many students spent the month of winter break at home studying for next term or, on a more realistic note, checking out new music on Spotify. Yet many members of College a cappella groups packed December with travel and performances, taking their voices out of the wilderness, and for some, out of the countr y. Although at times exhausting, singing tours allow groups to per form for varied audiences, something not usually possible during an academic term. Tours also generate revenue to invest in recording new albums and can help boost new members’ confidence. The Subtleties, one of the College’s all-female a cappella groups, spent five days in Ottawa, Ontario, acting as ambassadors for the College. Thanks to funding from the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, the Subtleties performed at various embassies, including the British High Commission. Recording chair Ellen Pittman ’14 described the opportunity as an exciting chance to spread word about the group and perform in

Preston Copley ’07 assumed the role of director of creative development for theater at Jean Doumanian Productions in December. In his role, Copley will scout in London and other international theaters for new projects that Doumanian will produce on and off-Broadway. An athlete and involved in theater at the College, he will build on established relationships between Doumanian and artists and coordinate with the company’s vice president, Patrick Daly. Copley previously worked for three years as assistant to theater producer Thomas Schumacher, currently president and producer at Disney Theatrical Group. CM: How does creative development in theater compare to similar roles in other industries? PC: I have worked with a reality TV production group in their creative development department. Basically all creative development involves taking a mandate from a studio or a network or just the executive producer and trying to couple that vision with the best artists for the project and story. Working in reality TV, it was a much quicker process. Not that it was simpler, but it needed to happen quicker. For a producer like Doumanian, she has the ability to let things develop at a speed which the art dictates. We’re able to move at our own pace, making the storytelling as clear as possible to the vision. CM: What are some of the projects that you will be working on in the near future?

PC: Most likely, there will be a musical in 2014 that we’ll be general producers on. We’re not truly allowed to talk about the creative behind it or the story in general, but it’s something that we’ll be working on in 2014, so that’s exciting. We also had a recent success with “Chimerica” in London that won the Evening Standard award for best play in November. I don’t know in what incarnation, but it’s a great play that I’d love to work more on. Other than that, we’re just trying to navigate for our next play. Doumanian has been remarkable in finding one-of-a-kind plays to produce off Broadway, and we’re hoping to keep up that legacy.

CM: What specific goals do you have for your new role? PC: I don’t think [Doumanian] needs any help in finding direction. My hope is to learn from her how to work in her model. She’s a one-of-a-kind producer in that she’s able to produce in three media: TV, film and theater. I’m not sure a person can stay in one medium anymore and be really viable, so I want to use this opportunity to see how she runs that business. She and Daly are making big moves in TV. They just sold two shows to two major networks and will be filming another movie in April by Nic Pizzolatto called “Galveston.” My biggest hope is that I can maintain that for them, not just in New York but internationally, reaching out to communities to see what their artists are working on and if we can get their work to New York in a commercial setting. CM: How were you involved with theater at Dartmouth? PC: I was probably involved in theater less there than at any time in my life. In college I was a recruited athlete for football, so I felt kind of obligated for the first couple years to maintain a focus on academics and athletics. Midway through my career there, I felt comfortable enough on the team to start reaching out to the theater community. [Theater professor] Jamie Horton was a primary reason why I continued with professional theater after college. We both went to Commonweal Theatre in Minnesota right after I graduated, and I stayed for that entire season before going back to New York and meeting up with a lot of the Dartmouth theater crew there. CM: What are your plans for the future? PC: It’s hard to look that far down the road, but I plan on staying in a commercial area of theater. That’s kind of the theater that I’ve gotten my education in early in my career, and that I feel most drawn to. I’d love to grow as a producer in different mediums, and working in a place like Doumanian, I’m sure I’ll get more of that kind of education. This interview has been edited and condensed.
