Dawes

Pollak Theatre

The California-based roots rock band consisting of brothers Taylor Goldsmith and Griffin Goldsmith (lead vocals/guitar and drums, respectively), Wylie Weber (bass), and Alex Casnoff (guitar) was heavily influenced by the gentle, acoustic-based musical trappings and rich vocal harmony of the Laurel Canyon sound (Crosby, Stills & Nash, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell), as well as by the shambling, romanticized Americana of The Band.

Queer Longings: A Performative Lecture on Anna Elizabeth Dickinson’s Failed Theatrical Career

In this work in progress, solo performer Elizabeth Whitney explores the career of Anna Elizabeth Dickinson–a provocative abolitionist and suffragist who enjoyed national fame on the lyceum circuit, was shunned by critics as a playwright and actor in late 1800s New York City, and eventually institutionalized. This new project uses Dickinson’s championed form of the lecture as performance to look at themes of madness, failure, and obscurity in the life of a queer artist.
