"Vaudeville III New & Naughty" Darress Theater, Boonton, NJ 10/24 & 25/08 EPI

Early work here. Single camera, standard definition, 4:3 aspect ratio = Old School. This is the third of 3 Vaudeville shows held in my town by the local theatre group at the time, The Enchanted Players Inc. (EPI) These shows were put on by many of my friends. Some have now passed on. This type of humor can at times seem offensive for todays standards, but this is true to the genre with a healthy dose of political incorrectness and thankfully it was!! The skits and bits are hilarious! There are also song and dance numbers as well as juggling and tap dancing. These shows were held at the now closed Darress Theater which was the last "reverse-theater seating" in the country, which means the audience enters from under the stage, walks up the aisle and turns around to sit down. When this theater was built in I believe 1919, it was originally a vaudeville theater with acts such as Burns and Allen, Abbott and Costello and Mae West to name a few. These shows are near and dear to my heart, I'm so glad I can get them up on my channel for many to enjoy!
