Description

In the late 19th century, modern theatrical vaudeville in the U.S. grew from a simple concept: a respectable general-audience variety show comprised of multiple ?acts? unconnected by plot. Entrepreneurs built the genre into a dominant form of leisure, a coast-to-coast industry that flourished for 50 years. Today it is difficult to fathom how enormous the institution of vaudeville was on the cultural landscape of the early 20th century. The influences of vaudeville endure today ? sometimes in unlikely places.

The book includes history, essential context, common misconceptions, notable people, 21st-century connections, ideas for interpretation & programming, exhibition resources, and an extensive bibliography. In all, the story of vaudeville's rise-and-fall illustrates the ever-intertwined relationship of the arts, sciences, ? and commerce.
