The Denison University Department of Theatre celebrates its new home \;in the Michael D. Eisner Center for the Performing Arts with an exclusive live performance of the \;award-winning animated Netflix series\, BoJack Horseman.
\n\nIn honor of our alumnus\, friend\, and benefactor\, Michael Eisner &rsquo\;64\, the Department of Theatre \;celebrates and inaugurates its new home in the Michael D. Eisner Center for the Performing \;Arts with BoJack Horseman\, a stage adaptation of the acclaimed and complex Netflix animated \;series\, produced by Michael Eisner Productions and the Tornante Company. \; Created by \;Raphael Bob-Waksberg\, BoJack Horseman is regularly ranked among the very best shows on \;television. \;
\n
\nIan Crouch described the series as &ldquo\;a comedy about an anthropomorphic talking horse&rdquo\; who \;starred in a family sitcom in the eighties and nineties called &lsquo\;Horsin&rsquo\; Around&rsquo\;... and now lives the \;dissipated life of a show-biz washout in Los Angeles.&rdquo\; &ldquo\;BoJack\,&rdquo\; he writes\, &ldquo\;is a silly show that is also deeply\, unshakably sad\,&rdquo\; praised by critics &ldquo\;for the way it blends fast-paced absurdist comedy with unexpected depth&rdquo\; of character and purpose (&ldquo\;&lsquo\;BoJack Horseman&rsquo\; and the Comedy of Despair\,&rdquo\; The New Yorker 8/14/2015). \;
Denison&rsquo\;s stage Bojack Horseman focuses on a moment of crisis between two old friends \;struggling to understand one another\, midway through the series&rsquo\; third season. \; BoJack \;Horseman\, adapted from the episode &ldquo\;Best Thing That Ever Happened\,&rdquo\; by Kate Purdy\, will be \;directed and adapted for the stage by Mark Evans Bryan &rsquo\;96\, Chair of the Department of Theatre. This is the first theatre production on the Sharon Martin Hall stage.
