Resumo

When I was in conventional theatre, even when I was going to school, people thought my acting was too broad, too pasty.So I had to create a theatre where I could exist.I had to create, for my own survival,a world where I could take advantage of my talents. Charles Ludlam In 1967, Charles Ludlam organized the Ridiculous Theatrical Company, patterning it after modern dance companies where composer and choreographer perform with the group. It was an actors’ company, primarily composed of untrained actors, non-actors, and filmmakers. Most had experience working in “underground“ films, but few had any professional training. Ludlam was the only one of the group with extensive schooling and experience in acting, directing, and playwriting.
