Half As Old As Time: A Lecture on Novelty & Variety Entertainment History with James Taylor
Join renowned sideshow historian, James Taylor as he weaves the tale of "Half as Old as Time", a lecture on novelty and variety entertainment. James has been called the foremost authority on sideshow and he contends its the novelty & variety business thats the oldest form of amusement and the real show biz. Ranging widely (and wildly) over the past few centuries  and into tomorrow, Taylor hits the bases other show historians ignore, from circus and carnival, dime museums and sideshows, burlesque and world fairs and all the business in between. With over four decades in the entertainment business, over half of which have been in the "other show biz" of novelty & variety, Taylor shows why,  "its the business you'll remember till the longest day ya live."


Doors for Lecture open at 6:30p.m.
Lecture begins at 7:00p.m.
