Summa Dramatica features the pontifications of the “eminent acting guru and erstwhile Holy Cow, Sri Moo Parahamsa,” on the sorry state of the acting profession. Performance is in crisis due to “the number one health concern of the free world” – animation addiction. What exactly does that mean? It means a four-armed, multi-voiced holy cow, musing on the nature of performance, bovine pearls of wisdom, and a stunning testimonial from recovering animation addict Marge Simpson.
