Vaudeville!
The School of Magic and Showmanship Presents: Vaudeville! The performances are set for Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 23rd show at 7:00 pm and Sunday, May 24th show at 1:00 pm. at 49 Franklin in the Mystic Theater in Rumford. Many people are unaware what Vaudeville was and how it shaped modern day performances. Master magician/instructor and owner of 49 Franklin Scot Grassette explains, "Back before computers, TV and even movies, Vaudeville circuits all around the country sent performers out to hundreds of live performance venues all around the country. Many of these stages had footlights which gave a unique underlit lighting which gave off the Vaudeville theater vibe, which can be seen in movies and TV featuring Vaudeville performances. Traditional performances featured 5 to 8 variety and specialty acts that were 10 to 15 minutes long. If audiences didn't like the performance, the management would be forced to give the act a literal hook and pull them off the stage where the next act would quickly move into place."
There are 6 students lined up to perform magic and variety acts in this show; they include Lee Carrier, Asher Maillet, Cohen Carrier, Cleo Hordon, Landyn Cote, and Kevin Homewood. (Allden Gaudet is part of the class but is unable to make it to the performances.)
The full-stage production will feature six incredible acts which include: Act I The Variety Performers which features Ventriloquism, Chalk Talk Art, Hand Shadows, and Plate Spinning. Act II is Mysteries of the Orient, magic and small illusions from the Far East. Next is Act III Money Matters We could all use a little more these days, just imagine if you could do these magic moves!, Act IV, Do the Spirits Return, The turn of the century spiritualism was at it's height of popularity. Act V is Comedy Capers, many Vaudeville comedy acts and slapstick went on to the silver screen such as Laurell and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. The last act, Act VI is The Illusion Act featuring 4 Stage Illusions to close the show.
