{"product_id":"between-the-lines-eric-simonson-9781959457220","title":"Between the Lines: Steppenwolf's Seagull and A Reluctant Actor's Journey Back to the Stage","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the spring of 2022, the renowned Steppenwolf Theatre Company boldly, and perhaps cavalierly, re-emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic with a brand new, 43 million dollar, state-of-the-art theatre. Director Yasen Peyankov insisted he cast the premiere production - a brand new, adaption of The Seagull - with as many Steppenwolf ensemble members as possible. This meant coaxing one non-actor, director and writer Eric Simonson, into coming back to the stage after a 33 year absence. Taking a leap in the dark, and battling the demons of stage-fright, confidence and homesickness, Simonson took up the challenge and started on a journey into the great theatrical unknown. Part diary, part history of the Chicago Theatre Renaissance, this memoir takes the reader behind the scenes of a Steppenwolf classic, and inside the head of a man desperate to rediscover the joy and craft of acting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Simonson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1959457225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781959457220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blue Jay Ink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.39d","brand":"Eric Simonson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45332100645119,"sku":"9781959457220","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9defa3ba-d350-41db-857e-5e739e19f7cc.jpg?v=1713971740","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/between-the-lines-eric-simonson-9781959457220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
