New! Mel Brooks: A Comedian for All Seasons Fee: $54 Mel Brooks has influenced comedy over his long career more than any other comic performer—and he’s still going at 98 and is sharp as a tack. From the stage, to television, to films, to writing, and to producing, Brooks’ work stretches from the 1950s to the present and includes the now-iconic Blazing Saddles , Young Frankenstein , The 2000 Year Old Man , The Producers and so many more. David Y. Chack , lecturer in Jewish and Holocaust Theatre at DePaul University, will lead us on the journey of Brooks’ career origins, and we will see excerpts of his work in order to understand how he went from a Yiddish tummler in the Jewish hotels of the Catskills to a comedic genius for all.
