Moviemad Guru | 2025 |

The Guru’s fame was local and curious. Once, a National magazine wanted his portrait and asked for a punchy quote. He refused to be reduced to one line. Instead he offered them an evening at the theater: they could follow him through a program and listen. The resulting piece was long and meandering, a profile in small obsessions. More importantly, it attracted people who’d never been inside the theater—teachers, bus drivers, retirees—and they came because the piece had, in its gentle way, vouched for the space.
