“Something like the alleyway scene, where it's like a mini one-act play and you run the whole 18 pages of it, it's so much easier to get lost in it. That's why actors love doing theater so much, I guarantee you. It's refreshing to be able to do something where you don't have to be stopped every two seconds, and you can just play it out and it's done.” TwoDonePlayWholeRunningAbleActorsLostEasierScenePagesTheaterGuaranteesSecondsRefreshingAlleyways Author:Dylan O'Brien
“Even before I started going to movies, I loved the idea of them. When I started learning to read as a kid, I started reading the movie pages in the paper and I could tell you what was showing at every theater within a ten mile radius of our house.” IdeasKidsReadingHouseTenPaperPagesTheaterMilesLearning To ReadRadius Author:Alonso Duralde
“We mocked that concept ['movies are better than ever'] by doing a sketch that was about a theater trying to get one customer to come in...and that customer was Jerry Lewis. It generated so much controversy that Dean [Martin] and Jerry [Lewis] had to apologize in a full page ad in Variety.” TryingPagesConceptsTheaterCustomersVarietyAdsApologizingControversyDeanJerry Author:Norman Lear
“Even on the iPad or the Kindle, when reading a book, you're rewarded for pressing a button - it's almost as if it were a Pavlovian thing. There's a little action that happens. And that there's always a little pump of adrenaline that happens. But that pump is different when you're lifting a page as if it was a curtain in a theater to show you another thing.” IfsLittlesBookDifferentShowsHappensActionReadingPagesTheaterButtonsCurtainsLiftingAdrenalinePumpsKindlesIpads Author:Art Spiegelman
“Chicago theater vs. New York theater. There's just nothing to say about it really. If you've seen Chicago theater, you know that the work is true to what is there on the page. It's not trying to present itself with some sort of flashy, concept-based thing. It's about the work, and it's about the acting you're about to watch. So acting-based theater feels like it was born there to me.” IfsKnowsFeelsTryingBornActingWatchesNew YorkPagesConceptsTheaterChicagoFlashy Author:Terry Kinney
“If a scene is three pages long, quite often people break it up and do a page, say 'cut' then move on to the next bit, they do it in cuts. I don't really like doing that; I like to go through it all in one organic run, then give notes afterward. A little bit more like theater.” PeopleIfsGivingLittlesLongRunningMovingThreeNextBitsBreakCuttingSceneLittle BitPagesTheaterNotes Author:James McAvoy
“Jessamine recoiled from the paper as if it were a snake. "A lady does not read the newspaper. The society pages, perhaps, or the theater news. Not this filth."
