The AVM is a non-profit, tax exempt 501 (c) (3)

arts and education charitable organization.

 

The last issue of Vaudeville Times was published January 2008.

 

This marks the end of ten years of publishing VT four times each year. The forty issues will continue to be available through this website only. They are not available anywhere else.

 

Vaudeville Times was issued quarterly to members of the American Vaudeville Museum. This quarterly published in-depth profiles of the great comics, dancers, singers, and other entertainers who starred on vaudeville stages, plus stories about vaudeville's history, from the beer-halls to the Palace to its revival on television, along with other features.

 

We continually update this web site (www.vaudeville.org), presenting new and revealing glimpses of vaudeville's story and its performers. Some became legendary stars; others are nearly forgotten. Together, it is the story of young America. Currently there are over one hundred and fifty profiles inside. Also included is a listing of over 100 biographies & memoirs and capsule reviews of more than 50 theatre related books. A great aid in building or expanding your own library.

 

Presentations are also available to schools, libraries and other organizations. Hosted by author of Vaudeville, Old & New, and AVM founder and Curator, Frank Cullen, presentations include video clips of vaudeville performers and commentary on their lives and times.
