Adam Sandler

In 2014, Sandler signed a deal with Netflix to produce and star in four original movies. The first three films, The Ridiculous 6, The Do-Over and Sandy Wexler, were the most-watched movies on Netflix to date, which led to Sandler signing another deal with Netflix for four more.

Blind Cinema
- What: With Blind Cinema, theatre artist, Britt Hatzius, brings a truly experimental movie-going experience to the PuSh stage. During the show, audience members will “watch” a movie blindfolded with a row of children seated behind them. The children are tasked with the job of narrating the story in whispers to the blind moviegoers. This storytelling experiment intends to flip the experience of watching a movie on its head with the audience having to depend on the children’s descriptions and their own imagination to “see” the movie.
