Animal Acts Opera Shakespeare Banjo



Only in America. See It, Hear It...

Vaudeville - n. a style of multi-act theatre which flourished in North America from the 1880s through the 1920s. An evening's schedule of performances (or "bill") could run the gamut from acrobats to mathematicians, from song-and-dance duos to trick high divers. Indeed, the scope of the presentations was unique in the history of American live performance: music, comedy, feats of athleticism, magic, animal acts, opera, Shakespeare, banjo, acrobatics and gymnastics, and lectures by celebrities and intellectuals of every scale.
