  How dull plays are killing theatre and what we can do about it.
  		 
  Had I become disenchanted with the form I had once fallen so madly in love with as a pubescent, pimple-faced suburban homo with braces? Maybe theatre was like an all-consuming high school infatuation that now, ten years later, I saw as the closeted balding guy with a beer gut he’d become. There were of course those rare moments of transcendencethat kept me coming back. But why did they come so few and far between?
  		 
  A lot of plays are dull. And one dull play, it seems, can turn us off theatre for good. Playwright and theatre director Jordan Tannahill takes in the spectrum of English-language drama – from the flashiest of Broadway spectacles to productions mounted in scrappy storefront theatres – to consider where lifeless plays come from and why they persist. Having travelled the globe talking to theatre artists, critics, passionate patrons and the theatrically disillusioned, Tannahill addresses what he considers the culture of ‘risk aversion’ paralyzing the form.
  		 
  Theatre of the Unimpressed is Tannahill’s wry and revelatory personal reckoning with the discipline he’s dedicated his life to, and a roadmap for a vital twenty-first-century theatre – one that apprehends the value of ‘liveness’ in our mediated age and the necessity for artistic risk and its attendant failures. In considering dramaturgy, programming and alternative models for producing, Tannahill aims to turn theatre from an obligation to a destination.

  The film, television, and comedy legend tells the hilarious and moving story of how tough love, and a sense of humor made him the man he is today 
  By the tender age of five, Bernie Mac had found his calling: making others laugh. He has since become the star and cocreator of Fox’s hit sitcom The Bernie Mac Show; a stand-up legend; and a hit movie star in Head of State and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Now this amazing comedian delves deep down inside to retell the poignant and hilarious story of his childhood and the people who helped shape him into the comedian—and the strong and self-reliant man—he is today. 
  When young Bernie Mac lost his beloved mother to breast cancer, and faced an astounding number of other hardships, he remembered the “Mac-isms” she taught him: You have to meet all of the challenges, big and small. Because how you start is how you finish. If you want a helping hand, look at the end of your arm. These tough-love lessons gave him an inner strength that led him to choose hope over despair, and to follow his dreams. Maybe You Never Cry Again is a powerful testament to how a mother’s love made everything possible for Bernie Mac by teaching him to believe in himself.

  Hiding mistakes, concealing flaws, covering scars – keeping what is supposedly "bad" hidden from others has unfortunately become a given in our modern society. But it can be different: Kintsugi teaches us to see the positive in breaks and injuries, and this book shows you how to easily make that your new attitude toward life!Originally conceived as a craft to give broken porcelain a second life in renewed beauty, Kintsugi has long since become a philosophy as well. Just as carefully reassembled shards of a broken bowl form a breathtaking work of art with the help of gold particles, so too does a person become who they truly are through all their injuries and imperfections. The deep meaning of life through learning, awareness, and constant growth is perfectly captured by the Kintsugi philosophy, which you can apply very concretely in your own life. Discover the importance Kintsugi can have during difficult phases and major challenges, and explore how the Japanese mindset can bring you lasting satisfaction, gratitude, strength, and joy. Not particularly spiritual? No problem – the practical reflections, exercises, and thought-provoking ideas are suitable for everyday life and help even stressed city dwellers gradually reconnect with themselves and gain a completely new perspective on who they are.
