Growing Pains
John Stoehr weaves a conversation with Spoleto performer K. Brian Neel on the end of Vaudeville with thoughts on the changing face of journalism and media:
Perhaps it was a happy accident. The note of fatalism gave Vaud Rats a level of gravitas that hadn’t been apparent to Neel before, he said. The end of vaudeville was a brutal time for stage performers, most of whom were left out of work and impoverished after the rise of mass entertainments like film and radio.
