When you sit down at a play or a movie or a concert—or even in front of the TV in your own home—you are taking part in one of the oldest and most mysterious forms of group human behavior.
This lecture sheds light on fascinating stories from the past and issues that shape our lives today—everything from the ancient Greeks, the audience that saw Abraham Lincoln assassinated, the history of booing, the appeal of horror movies, the group reaction at sports events, right up to binge-watching Netflix.
Join our host, Mr. Robert Viagas for an interesting and in depth look into "the audience." This event is free and open to the public.
