From antebellum America to the Golden West, from the world of Nazi Austria to the world of American pop music, we have an image of these times, these people. From the Chautauqua stage we will explore the truth of those images.
Charles Dickens (portrayed by Larry Bounds) He twice visited America twice and gave us his unvarnished view of what he found.
“Stagecoach Mary” Fields (portrayed by Becky Stone) She rose from slavery to become a living Western legend.
El Vaquero (portrayed by Angel Vigil) When it comes to legends, what is a greater image of the West than the cowboy? Learn what the culture of life in the saddle was really like.
Maria von Trapp (portrayed by Elsa Wolff) The Sound of Music told her story, now hear her side of that story.
Cass Elliot (portrayed by Karen Vuranch) She takes us behind the scenes with the Mamas and the Papas for a backstage look at the swinging ’60s and ’70s.
