 Throughout the 19th century panoramic entertainments – immersive theater – were all the rage. In the Winter Shack, for one night only, artists Becky Sellinger and Aaron Beebe created an immersive experience and the only Cosmorama in existence at that time. In an environment created by Beebe, Sellinger mimed the words to six presidential speeches, while using a melting ice cream cone as her microphone.
