Fourth Winter Chautauqua
6:30 PM  The Elling House
Description:
The Elling House Arts and Humanities Center will host the Fourth Winter Chautauqua in the intimate, historic Ball Room on April 21st.
First popularized in the 19th and 20th centuries, the Chautauqua is hailed as a sharing of entertainment and intellectual knowledge – Teddy Roosevelt claimed it was “the most American thing in America ”. Today the tradition continues with a variety of writers, musicians and special topic speakers taking center stage at the Elling House.
The monthly event begins with a potluck dinner at 6:30 PM and performances starting at 7:30 PM.
The Chautauqua is open to all seeking entertainment, intellectual or spiritual growth and local culture. Each participant performs 1-2 songs or a 5minute reading. Nightly performances highlight 10 reserved spots with two swing spots available for impromptu appearances. Those wishing to be on stage are encouraged to contact Toni James to make reservations at (406) 843-5454, email: ranksmerc@yahoo.com or ellinghouse.org.
The Elling House is located at the upper end of East Idaho Street, up the hill from the Virginia City Fire Dept. Admission is by donation and open to the public.
