I was asked to give a talk on Ventriloquism to the University of Houston's Drama Department.
I gave a 90 minute talk on the History of Ventriloquism, how it evolved from necromancy and soothsaying into what it is to perform it today as a performance art.
Bosworth did a few jokes for the students and it was a lot of fun! There were even a couple students who thought they might like to take it up.
I also gave them a peak under the hood showing them how a Ventriloquist figure works.
At the of the program I was presented with photos of my Mentor Edgar Bergen. It was a wonderful time.
Buddy Gurganus Creator/Executive Producer/Director of KEYS FOR KIDDOS asked me to do a Human Dummy skit with one of th kids in homage of the Paul Winchell Lucielle Ball skit that was done on the Lucy Show in the early 1970's.
On March 1 I performed an evening of Ventriloquism for the Our Savior Lutheran Church's 23rd Annual Mother Daughter Banquet. It was a fine and fun evening of Ventriloquism and Laughs. I could not have had a better audience. I had worked up the show especially for the Church using notes they had sent me on what they'd like me to include. The show went over big time. All of the bits were well received but the Human Dummy and Bosworth's closing got the biggest belly laughs.
When I got home I had received a testimonial email from Debbie Addams the Event Coordinator it said:
Phil,
I just wanted to tell you again what a great performance you gave
tonight.
You have a God -given talent and what a way to share your faith
with others .
