This past weekend, April 24-27, Geneseo Dance Ensemble welcomed back some exceptionally talented alumni for the collaborative performance, "Dancing Past to Present: Celebrating 40 Years."

On Friday, April 25, graduate student Jeff Andrews and senior Gavin Price debuted their bawdy play, The Golden Palace, in Brodie's Black Box Theatre. A sort of musical burlesque show, The Golden Palace progressed from sexy, fun and engaging to unnervingly horrific.

This past weekend, VegSOUP presented Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman in Brodie's Black Box Theatre. The Pillowman is an outside-the-box black comedy which won the Olivier Award in 2004 for Best New Play. While anyone who has dabbled in theater knows that it takes many elements and many hands to make a production a success, it seemed that The Pillowman had them, both in skill and in abundance, for this play was nothing short of spectacular.

Didn't catch Forms in Motion? You didn't miss much.

If you've never experienced a summer music festival, don't tell me it's because you're afraid of hippies. Along with the music that makes tree huggers flock, summer festivals now feature hip-hop, comedy shows and plenty of those funky modern indie bands we hear played incessantly on WGSU.

Be Kind Rewind, directed by Michael Gondry, is a sad attempt at a sentimental comedy. As if Nacho Libre wasn't bad enough, Rewind star Jack Black's movies seem to be falling even further than thought possible.

Premiering Wednesday, the Alice Austin Theatre in Brodie Hall will host The Seagull, written by 19th century Russian writer Anton Chekhov. Although Chekhov's writing was, for the most part, not appreciated during his time, he is now considered to be one of the great modern dramatists, and The Seagull is widely renowned as his best play.

On Saturday, March 1, Alonzo King's LINES Ballet executed an exquisite dance performance to a packed Wadsworth Auditorium as part of the Limelight and Accents Performing Arts Series.

On Friday, Feb. 22, Wadsworth Auditorium was filled with the lovely symphonic music of Geneseo's Wind Ensemble, playing alongside RIT's Concert Band in what proved to be an exciting joint concert.
