The 2007 documentary Show Business: The Road to Broadway (Netflix, Amazon) just got recommended to me by someone in the theatre community:
"Go behind the scenes of some of the biggest shows of the 2003-04 theater season and find out what it takes to make it on Broadway. From the season's opening to its finale at the Tony Awards, this documentary highlights the ups and downs of various Broadway musicals, including the smash hit "Wicked." The stories behind these big productions are full of amazing struggles and successes that rival the splendor of the Broadway shows themselves."The book Holy Headshot: A Celebration of America's Undiscovered Talent (website, Amazon) was released October 18th and looks hilarious:
"Holy Headshot! is an amazing collection of the funniest, strangest, most captivating performers' headshots and resumes you have ever seen. The book throws open the door to the casting director's office and gives an entertaining peak into the amazing—and sometimes bizarre—world of show business. Authors Patrick Borelli and Douglas Gorenstein pored over 50,000 headshots to put together this remarkable gallery, which showcases everyone from aspiring amateurs who are striving to live out their Hollywood dreams to seasoned professionals that you might recognize from the big screen. A celebration of our national obsession with getting famous, Holy Headshot! offers up plenty of "What were they thinking!?" hilarity, but just as often you'll find yourself rooting for the characters that populate its pages."SAK's annual Halloween Torture Show tonight:
"Come down and join us at 10 o'clock this Friday night, October 31st for a horrifyingly fun evening of watching our performers jump, wiggle, shriek, gasp and eat their way through a sadistic maze of improv games! These challenges will have them bound in duct tape, spinning into vertigo, submerged in water, covered in snap-pins and chug-a-lugging fiendish mixtures that our audience helps concoct! Plus, it all ends with the Death-Defying Bare Foot Rat Trap Challenge! Six Performers Enter! No Performer Leaves... with a Shred of Dignity!
For Reservations call the Box Office at 407-648-0001 right away to claim a spot and witness the horror. If you're too squeamish for out Torture show, consider our signature Duel of Fools at 8pm."
