vaudeville circuit

The vaudeville circuit was a network of entertainment venues across North America where performers like comedians, musicians, dancers, and magicians would perform. These circuits organized shows at multiple theaters, allowing acts to travel and reach larger audiences. It functioned like a booking system, connecting performers with venues and helping them build audiences gradually. Vaudeville circuits were essential to the entertainment industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, providing a structured way for performers to develop their careers and for audiences to enjoy diverse, live entertainment in a single outing.
