Interview mit Bill Watterson

Interview mit Bill Watterson

Vor einiger Zeit war es uns vergönnte mit Bill Watterson, dem Regisseur von DAVE MADE A MAZE, über Skype ein Interview zu führen. Und weil das alle Beteiligten so toll fanden, wiederholten wir das Gespräch eine Woche später. Spaß beiseite, denn der neuerliche Termin wurde nötig, da bei unserem ersten Versuch die Aufnahme daneben ging. Ganz der Schauspieler früherer Tage gab der in LA wohnhafte…

Deranged kiddie host stalks his rival in spoof of the ‘Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood’ trailer.

Oh now I see where Rep. Matt Gaetz got the idea for a “malicious” Captain Kangaroo. It’s funny because both shows took children’s development very seriously and were very careful. In real life Fred Rogers and Bob Keeshan were supportive of each other’s shows.

The Second City to Premiere New Interactive Comedy Show

Helter Shelter will deliver satire & laughter remotely beginning Thursday

(CHICAGO - May 13, 2020) The Second City is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest virtual comedy show as part of the ongoing “Improv House Party” series. Improv House Party: Helter Shelter premieres Thursday, May 14, at 7pm (CT) via Zoom. Delivering “comedy from the discomfort of your own home,” Helter Shelter unites cast members from Second City’s Chicago and Toronto resident stage ensembles in this live, satirical, and highly interactive comedy show. From hot takes on the week’s news to absurd characters to improvisation, anything can happen when this cast lets loose on a topic, theme, or shared human experience. Expect the unexpected as the audience gets into the action in exciting new ways every week.

“Across our stages in Chicago and Toronto, we have an incredible group of performers. It’s so exciting to have them work together--apart, of course--and give them a new place to play together. They’ve been sharpening their satirical claws at home, and they’re ready to get back to making you laugh your head off,” says one of Helter Shelter’s co-directors Anneliese Toft.

“Second City shows have always been shaped by the audience, and this is no exception,” says show co-director Anthony LeBlanc. “While Second City’s live Improv House Party shows have already broken ground in entertaining and involving audience participation from home, Helter Shelter will focus on written sketch comedy that brings audience involvement to a new level.”

Hosted by Second City alums Mary Catherine Curran, Nigel Downer, and Alan Linic, Helter Shelter’s 45-minute free weekly shows will feature a rotating cast including Adam Archer, Atra Asdou, Ali Barthwell, Tricia Black, Sarah Dell'Amico, Asia Martin, Natalie Metcalf, Jordan Savusa, Adam Schreck, and Chris Wilson with musical director Jesse Case and contributing musical artistry from Elise Wattman and Nicholas Gage. Anneliese Toft and Anthony LeBlanc are directors.

“Our cast is looking to push the limits of what experiential online comedy can be. Without giving any of our magic tricks away, I can say that we want our audiences saying, ‘I can’t believe Second City did that online,’” says Toft.

Second City returns to Washington with familiar gifts in ‘She the People’ and ‘Love, Factually’

“She the People” does this more boldly: Director Carly Heffernan and her collaborators have come back to Woolly Mammoth Theatre with a sequel show, composed of new patriarchy-roasting sketches, subtitled “The Resistance Continues!” Boasting an entirely female cast and crew, “She the People” draws its incisive humor from such topical issues as standards of beauty, the pay gap and gun control, among them.

Heffernan has her six-woman ensemble threading together dozens of sketches with machinelike precision. The comedy, though, is anything but rigid. Some bits are drawn out, hitting the audience with a flurry of jabs. Others are abrupt, landing with a sidesplitting hook. However long the skits, Heffernan knows when to cut the lights and get out on the biggest laughs. The slick transitions are accentuated by Sarah Tundermann’s clever projection design and the neon lighting of Meghan Raham’s snazzy set.

In one satiric sketch, cheerleaders perkily espouse their misogyny-warped worldview. Another searing bit lampoons new age self-care. Returning cast members Alex Bellisle, Carisa Barreca, Katie Caussin and Kazi Jones remain dexterous comedic performers. If one of them steals the show, it’s Bellisle; her characters include the cliched victim of a TV police procedural and a woman convinced that her friend’s ex is a murderer.

The cast features two additions to the returning ensemble: Sayjal Joshi, who shines as an evangelical balladeer poking fun at the church, and Jo Scott, memorable as a vlogger spinning impromptu conspiracy theories. Although “The Resistance Continues!” is an extension of the show Woolly audiences saw last year, the revue preaches its progressive values more earnestly this time around. Considering all of the fodder for fury we’ve seen over the past year, it’s no surprise that this ensemble is justifiably angrier, and even more confident in its convictions. “If you’re offended right now,” Joshi tells the audience, “part of the problem is you.”

The second show returning to Washington this season, “Love, Factually” has pranced back into the Kennedy Center’s Theater Lab with a softer objective: to lovingly skewer the holiday rom-com genre. In contrast to the “She the People” sequel, “Love, Factually” is an encore presentation of the show that premiered at the Kennedy Center last year, spruced up with some new sketches and topical references (Lori Loughlin, “quid pro quo” and the like).

The show follows cynical screenwriter Cassie (Kate Lambert) as she tries to undo “Love Actually’s” sentimental sins by writing a more realistic rom-com. That, naturally, leads her to clash with the amusingly anachronistic ghost of Jane Austen (Inessa Frantowski). Subplots involving a best man (Aaron Bliden) in love with the groom (Ian Owens) and an assistant (Scott Ward Abernethy) falling for his senator boss (Renea S. Brown) are witty enough; a story line about a husband (Eric M. Messner) cheating on his wife (Anne Bowles) with a breathy barista (Frantowski), not so much.

But director Frank Caeti makes “Love, Factually” a looser, more improv-driven experience than “She the People,” and the spontaneity breeds vivacity. Playing promiscuous retirement home residents, Owens (the show’s standout) and Frantowski were a riot bouncing off two people pulled from the crowd at recent matinee. And in an improv skill that never ceases to amaze, Lambert nailed a spur-of-the-moment song verse inspired by audience participation.

That opening number, about the irresistible charm of holiday movie meet-cutes, is an earworm. Yes, it’s the same song as last year, aside from a dash of improvisation. But there’s no shame in enjoying a cozy holiday tune.

She the People: The Resistance Continues!, by Carisa Barreca, Alex Bellisle, Katie Caussin, Carly Heffernan and the Second City casts. Directed by Carly Heffernan. Set design, Meghan Raham; lighting and projection design, Sarah Tundermann; sound, Sarah O’Halloran; costumes, Jessica Sheehan. About two hours. $20-$71.

Dave Made a Maze Movie Review

Dave Made A Maze Gravitas Ventures DIRECTOR: Bill Watterson WRITER: Steven Sears CAST: Nick Thune, Meera Rohit Kumbhani, James Urbaniak, Adam Busch, Stephanie Allynne, Rick Overton, Scott Krinsky, Frank Caeti, Scott Narver RUNNING TIME: 80min RATING: Unrated (language, comedic violence) In Theaters And on VOD August 18, 2017

Dave (Nick Thune, Bad Johnson) is a struggling artist living with his devoted girlfriend Annie (Meera Rohit Kumbhani, The Mindy Project). When http://bit.ly/2QdrchG comes home from a business trip, she finds that Dave may have gotten distracted by building a cardboard labyrinth in their living room?and is apparently lost inside.

?It?s much bigger on the inside.? ? Dave

Dave refuses to knock down the maze, and warns them not to attempt to rescue him; but he?s been in there for 3 days without food, water or a bathroom. Annie will not stand idly by, so she enlists the help of their best friend Gordon (Adam Busch, Rebel in the Rye) and their documentarian friend Harry (James Urbaniak, The Venture Bros.) with a film crew in tow to rescue Dave. http://ow.ly/eOUc101nKXX with a magical cardboard labyrinth is that the rules of reality and physics do not apply. There?s a room that turns you into paper bag puppets, ornery origami, a throbbing vagina booby trap, and apparently you can just duct tape a towel to a door to thwart the bloodthirsty minotaur (John Hennigan, WWE).

The Bad: Not necessarily bad, but some of the bits got a bit eye rolling-ly silly (?You f?ed my wife?). The bits with Leonard (Scott Krinsky, Chuck) came across as the filmmakers not wanting to cut him out, so they kept a tired running gag. They were funny at first, but it got a little dumb.

The Good: It was super fun, fast paced, good dialogue and characters. The visuals were so enthralling that I was able to sit through this entire film and not once look at my phone.
