Ability Speaks

TUTV is happy to present another insightful documentary into an often overlooked set of Philadelphians. Ability Speaks is a documentary made by Temple students that aims to spread awareness of the unique difficulties young adults with disabilities in the Philadelphia area face. The film achieves this by peering into their day to day lives and depicting how they cope with entering society after they are finished with their schooling. The documentary also features programs that are available to help adults struggling with disabilities, including the Kaleidoscope Family Solutions and the T.O.D.A.Y. Program.

A lot of times society tends to focus on the needs of disabled children but what happens when those children grow up and are out of the system? Find out by tuning into TUTV at 12:30 p.m. Friday, June 28. It will re-air at 8:30 p.m.

The film was made by Temple students Kristalyn Anderson, Sean Sullivan, and Ana Duda for a media production class taught by Kristin Trever Weatherston.

TUTV airs Temple Theaters’ production of “The Liar”

Posted

theliar

TUTV will air a Temple Theaters production of the The Liar May 6 at 1:30 and 8:30 p.m. Watch it on Comcast channel 50 and Verizon channel 45 within Philadelphia city limits, or watch it online everywhere.

The year is 1643, and the young gallant Dorante arrives in Paris to seek his fortune. Dashing as he may be, he is also a pathological liar. Instantly smitten by the beguiling beauty of one Clarice whom he haplessly mistakes for her dear best friend, Dorante’s tumbling heap of lies in pursuit of love launches an avalanche of comic confusion that engulfs servants, friends, and lovers alike.

theliar2

Playwright David Ives hijacks the classic comic genius of 17th Century French master Pierre Corneille, rhymed couplets and all, and whips up a wild and witty confection of romantic deceit and deception mirthfully perpetrated all in the name of love. The Liar was directed by Douglas C. Wager at Thomlinson Theater.

Introducing Steve Lipman

Posted

Meet Steve Lipman, a Temple University sophomore and aspiring comedian, who began performing stand up comedy in New York at the age of 12! TUTV caught up with him during a recent standup performance at the Helium Comedy Club in Philadelphia on March 28, 2013. Shot by Temple graduate student Gino Canella, the video is available to view above. A full version of his performance is coming soon to TUTV!

Lipman, whose comedy style is combination of boyish charm and Jewish anxiety, has performed his act all over the country on a steady basis. He’s also had the opportunity to perform with some of the biggest acts in comedy, including Judah Friedlander, Jim Gaffigan and JB Smoove. After being profiled in the Philadelphia Inquirer and winning 2010′s “Best Up and Coming Comedian” in Main Line Today, Steve is a rising star in the entertainment community.

TUTV also spoke to his parents, who have come to share Steve’s remarkably serious view regarding his career aspirations. “Steve has been trying to make people laugh since he was 2 years old,” says Terri, his mother. “Of course we worry about his future. We know it’s difficult to have a career in show business. But comedy is his dream, and we support it.”
