Celestial Navigations was an American music and story-telling group, connected to the Church of Scientology, with members Geoffrey Lewis, Geoff Levin, David Campbell, Eric Zimmerman, Bettie Ross, and Chris Many.[1][2][3] Their performances consisted of Lewis telling a story along with electronic music to enhance the story. Lewis received a Drama-Logue Award for his performances.[4][5]

Early beginnings

[edit | edit source]

The group was formed in 1984[6] and was originally known as The Great American Entertainment Show. When they performed at the Matrix Theatre in Los Angeles, Lewis won a Drama-Logue Award for his performance.[7][8]

According to Lewis, he was inspired by a trip to Africa and the attention storytellers received, and therefore started to envision his own stories to tell.[citation needed]

Over the next two decades, the group recorded eight albums.[7][9][10]
