My Next Two Live Streaming Video Talks!

Well someone needs to find a more attractive and catchy phraseology for these here live streaming presentations, and I ain’t got one yet, so I’ll just tell you in those words: got some live streaming presentations coming up:

* Saturday, July 18, 2020 at 12:00pm Eastern I’ll be giving a post-Bastille Day Zoom talk on How the French Invented Show Biz. The talk will be free to my Patreon contributors, and $5 to all others (via travsd1965@yahoo.com at PayPal). But Patreon is a better deal, as there will be many talks in the future, all of which will be free with your contribution. Find out how to do that here. Link and log-in info will be shared with all who express an interest.

* Thursday, July 30, 7:30pm Eastern: My talk on the History of Drag in Vaudeville will be in Dixon Place’s Hot! Festival. Get the full skinny here.
