By Charna Halpern and Del Close. Foreword by Mike Myers. Edited by Kim “Howard” Johnson. The manual of improvisation. This manual introduced the concepts of the “Harold” — the innovative improvisational tool that helped Saturday Night Live’s Mike Myers, Chris Farley, George Wendt and many others on the road to TV and film stardom. The innovative concepts are described fully in this insightful book that has become the bible for wannabe improvisers. The “Harold” is a form imvolving six or seven players. It consists of many things: scenes, songs, games and monologs — the most important of which is the two-person scene beginning. A strong opening develops the point of view for “The Group Mind” to follow, often with three different storylines. It tells how to create a non-linear entertainment that remembers everything and wastes nothing — the key to successful improvising

Abolition Of Man
$17.99Add to cartIn this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
