Mr. Praagh has also been a successful producer for “Living with the Dead”, a mini-series based on his life and a television movie, “The Dead will Tell”, both on cBS. he is the author of two best-selling books, “Talking to heaven” (1997) and “reaching to heaven” (1999). “I have been waiting for this day for a very long time. after graduating Bayside high School in 1976, I attended Queensborough, hunter college and eventually San Francisco State University with a degree in broadcasting. When I heard I was coming back to Bayside I was thrilled. My first book “Talking to heaven”, depicts my childhood growing up in Bayside and I even mention some wonderful historical landmarks that played a pivotal part of my childhood such as the Bell house and Lawrence cemetery. I used to hang out at the cemetery when I played hooky from my grade school Sacred heart. I guess you could say I was preparing for my future endeavors!” “We are thrilled to host James Van Praagh on his return home to Queens!” said Susan agin, Executive Director of QPac. “a unique and powerful spiritual messenger, he will move audience members with both his accuracy for detail and empathy for the human condition.” For more information, please contact the QPac Box Office at 718.631.6311.
