American Vaudeville

2012-2013

America is an important and challenging community to define. Through the lens of the American Vaudeville Era, EgoPo explored the DNA of American culture. From the touring shows of the 1880s to the birth of Broadway in the 1920s, our beliefs and values continue to be shaped by this formative era. No matter our ethnicity, religion, sexual preferences, or political sensibilities, EgoPo celebrates what brings us together during a year of American tribulation.
