FIRST FRIDAY AT UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON





VENTRILOQUISM REVEALED: 

 FROM NECROMANCY TO BROADWAY










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.
