Sinopsis

What's the story with the little village of Oberammergau in the Bavarian Alps? For nearly 400 years, the people who live here have performed the Passion of Christ every ten years. All together. Grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren all join each other on stage. They are fulfilling a vow once made by their ancestors to stave off the plague. This book sets out to discover why the villagers' enthusiasm for theatre has endured to this day. It takes a look behind the scenes and accompanies the creation of the 2022 Passion Play with its 2,400 participants. In a series of conversations, the author explores their motivations, special rituals such as the Hair and Beard Decree and theatre life in times of the coronavirus pandemic. And why giving up is not an option.

    Discover the behind-the-scenes story of how The Second City theater created a generation of world class great actors, directors, and writers. 
     
     
     
    In the late Fifties and Sixties, iconoclastic young rebels in Chicago opened two tiny theaters—The Compass and The Second City—where they satirized politics, religion, and sex. Developing scenes by improvising based on audience suggestions turned out to be a fine way to develop great actors, directors, and writers. Alumni went on to create such groundbreaking works as The Graduate, Groundhog Day, and Don't Look Up. Many of them also became stars on Saturday Night Live. Something Wonderful Right Away features the pioneers who founded the empire that transformed American comedy. 
     
     
      
    This new edition tells even more of the story. Included for the first time is an interview with Viola Spolin, the genius who invented theater games that were the foundation of improvisational theater. Also included are dozens of follow-up stories about Mike Nichols, Barbara Harris, Del Close, Joan Rivers, Alan Arkin, and Gilda Radner, plus "You Only Shoot the Ones You Love," the story of how this book's author, playwright Jeffrey Sweet, ended up being so involved in the community he covered that he was captured by it.

    This is a concise summary and analysis of Big Dumb Eyes, by Nate Bargatze. It is not the original book and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nate Bargatze. Ideal for those seeking a quick and insightful overview.
     
    Big Dumb Eyes is a sharp, observationally driven comedic exploration of life’s everyday absurdities. Through a collection of anecdotes, reflections, and punchlines, it navigates the strange intersections of modern adulthood, social expectations, and the hilariously mundane. Whether dissecting childhood misunderstandings, irrational fears, or the quirks of relationships and technology, the book offers a disarmingly honest and often self-deprecating look at how bewildering the world can be through a certain set of eyes—big, dumb, and wide open to life’s most ridiculous moments.
