It Takes a Lunatic

2019 NR 2h 6m 6.6

The life and career of acting teacher and co-founder/director of the American Place Theater, Wynn Handman.

In Billy Lyons's heartfelt and inspiring profile, Wynn Handman delves into his personal life story, while comments from former students such as Richard Gere, James Caan, Joel Grey, Michael Douglas, Frank Langella, and Chris Cooper show just how deep-seated an impact his work has had on American theater. Today, at the age of 96 Wynn Handman still teaches as many classes as he did in the beginning, as genuine, outspoken, and intolerant of BS ever, as he continues to push his students to find their truth and their voice-both onstage and off.
