When I taught film and theater, we spent considerable time evaluating, writing, and producing laughs using the “7 Causes of Laughter.” (You can find other sites and sources that will tell you there are six, or ten.

The Manic Mission is for readers interested in tough topics that eventually offerContinue reading ““…fills the space with grape scent.””
