Welcome! New in Theaters: HONEST THIEF (Briarcliff Entertainment). Make sure to check this week's "comeback classics," too. Top on my list is a re-release of Tim Burton's stop-motion animation holiday classic THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (Disney; 1993). THREE BY... Starting a new feature this month where I highlight three films from some of my favorite directors. This month's director is Carl Reiner, who passed away at age 98 this past summer. The three films I picked were ENTER LAUGHING (1967); OH, GOD! (1977); and ALL OF ME (1984). Thanks for tuning in! More info on my blog at moviespastandpresent.com.

We lost a true American comedy genius last week. Carl Reiner was 98 when he passed away. I first met Carl Reiner in 1993, and again in 1995, when he published a sequel to his iconic 1950s novel "Enter Laughing."

Jay Hamburger and the cast of "Enter Laughing" talk about Theatre in the Raw's 25th Anniversary Show.

For over forty years, Jim Morgan has been one of the most recognizable names in the New York theatre. For twenty years, Jim has served as the the artistic director of the acclaimed Off-Broadway theater company, The York Theatre. And, for twenty years before that, he was one of their most trusted set designers. Jim's eye for taste and talent has led to some of Off-Broadway's most recent hits including The Musical of Musicals: The Musical, Cagney, Desperate Measures, Souvenir, and Enter Laughing, as well as cultivating the Musicals in Mufti series which gave audiences second looks at The Grass Harp, Grind, The Grand Tour, Regina, and 100 more. Jim pulls back the curtain on his career to discuss how a job interview led to a thirty plus years of employment, what it was like doing Sweeney Todd on a basketball court, and why an incognito Sondheim always gets recognized! Also, Jim shines the spotlight on Janet Hayes Walker, Sheldon Harnick, and the great team of Jones and Schmidt!

"Bye Bye Birdie"'s domineering mom, Jayne Houdyshell, talks about finding the good in meddling Mae Peterson, who she calls "Archie Bunker in a mink coat" and whether she'd ever appeared in "Birdie" previously during her career, which has spanned some 300 shows (though only 15 in New York). She also describes growing up as a child on a Kansas farm; her first stage appearance as the mother in "Enter Laughing" (at age 14); finding her way to a conservatory in Detroit staffed largely by English acting teachers; starting her career by moving to Iowa where she was part of literally building the Old Creamery Theatre; her move to New York -- which precipitated a 20 year career working in regional theatres across the country, despite having no agent or manager; her sudden discovery by the New York theatre community in Lisa Kron's "Well"; how her appearance in "Hello Dolly" in the early 80s led to her appearance as Madame Morrible in "Wicked" on Broadway, what she thought when director Leigh Silverman asked her to play a child in "Coraline", and why she'd like to sing more on stage -- but we shouldn't be looking for her cabaret act anytime soon. Original air date - November 16, 2009.
