  • The Cry of Jazz Is Officially Re-Released in High Definition Digital Format
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Matt Rogers [email protected] The Cry of Jazz Is Officially Re-Released in High Definition Digital Format New York, NY - May 01, 2018 - “When the film came out, the response was hideous,” Ed Bland once said, when asked about his seminal 1959 short, The Cry of Jazz. “Very few liked it. The Marxists hated it ’cause it was independent of how they thought Blacks should think. But aside from me being called a Black fascist or whatever, a few people thought it quite unique.” The Cry of Jazz is the only movie composer and musician Ed Bland ever helmed. It fuses Chicago street grit and ivory tower intellect into a thirty-four minute, black-and-white celluloid whirlwind unlike any films before or since, all the while scored by a then unknown Le Sun Ra & his Arkestra. While deemed radical, alarmist, and amateurish by many upon its initial release, this 16mm gem was eventually deemed unique and worthy enough by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 2010 (along with Airplane!). Though Mr. Bland was equally adept in classical, jazz, and rhythm & blues, and spent most of his life invested in all facets of the music business, he could never shake the shadow cast by his lone foray into filmmaking. Spurred by late night conversations held in various taverns near the University of Chicago, Bland, along with three friends—a mathematician, an urban planner, and a novelist—formed an all-Black production company, KHTB, and embarked in 1956 on what would become The Cry of Jazz.

  • The Harold: a Revolutionary Form That Changed
    THE HAROLD: A REVOLUTIONARY FORM THAT CHANGED IMPROVISATIONAL THEATRE & AMERICAN COMEDY A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By MATT FOTIS Dr. M. Heather Carver, Dissertation Supervisor MAY 2012 © Copyright by Matt Fotis 2012 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled THE HAROLD: A REVOLUTIONARY FORM THAT CHANGED IMPROVISATIONAL THEATRE & AMERICAN COMEDY Presented by Matt Fotis A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor M. Heather Carver Professor David Crespy Professor Cheryl Black Professor Cornelius Eady ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would have never happened without the help, support, and encouragement of numerous people. First and foremost I want to thank my committee— Heather Carver, David Crespy, Cheryl Black, and Cornelius Eady—for their guidance, questions, epiphanies, and good humor, without which I would not be writing this thank you. I want to thank Ann Haugo, John Poole, and Liz Mullenix for first beginning this journey with me. Of course many thanks go out to Charna Halpern, Ted Flicker, and all the generous improvisers who agreed to be interviewed for this project, as well as the countless improvisers who simply took the time to informally discuss improv with me. I would be nowhere without the teachers that taught me how to improvise and the students who continue to teach me. My beautiful wife, whom I first got to know through improvisation, thank you for your love, support, and patience…and for usually laughing at my jokes…and for telling me when I’m not funny.

  • The Second City's
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 26, 2018 The Second City’s “Look Both Ways Before Talking” Plays the Lincoln March 29 & 30 The Second City’s latest sketch comedy and improv revue, Look Both Ways Before Talking, is an evening of wildly original, ever-daring, and truly hilarious scripted scenes, music, and improvisation chock full of social and political satire. Edgy, thought-provoking, and always spectacularly funny, The Second City is celebrating nearly six decades of producing cutting- edge, satirical revues and launching the careers of generation after generation of comedy’s best and brightest. CAPA presents The Second City Touring Company: Look Both Ways Before Talking at the Lincoln Theatre (769 E. Long St.) on Thursday, March 29, at 8pm and Friday, March 30, at 8 pm. Tickets are $30 and $35 at the CAPA Ticket Center (39 E. State St.), all Ticketmaster outlets, and www.ticketmaster.com. To purchase tickets by phone, please call (614) 469-0939 or (800) 745-3000. The Second City opened its doors on a snowy Chicago night in December 1959. No one could have guessed that this small cabaret theatre would become the most influential and prolific comedy theatre in the world. With its roots in the improvisational games of Viola Spolin, The Second City developed an entirely unique way of creating and performing comedy. Founded by Spolin’s son, Paul Sills, along with Howard Alk and Bernie Sahlins, The Second City was experimental and unconventional in its approach to both theatre and comedy. At a time when mother-in-law jokes were more the fashion, The Second City railed against the conformist culture with scenes that spoke to a younger generation.
