Many fine,
slightly-used schedules from
years past remain availalalable for your perusal, e.g.:
Prior to 2002,
it is recommended that you
imagine your own Chautauqua schedules. Be your own
show director! Consider exotic
locales! Rename the
performers! Just think how
wonderful it would have been
to have George Clooney, Sofia Coppola and John Phillip Sousa tap
dancing on the Polynesia/Indiana Tour!
Of course, if
you want to see what's
happening in the present and near future, check out:

chock-full of entertainers, educators, boat captains, crew and support
staff sailed from maritime community to maritime community on this
summer's Aqua Chautauqua Tour. Chautauqua partnered with local
nonprofit organizations, and helped raise $10,000 for their worthwhile
projects. Aqua Chautauqua focused on youth education, sustainability,
and land and ocean stewardship. Our Parades, Workshops and Shows
brought together over 5,000 people to celebrate Community!
Vaudeville
Extravaganza
The
Flying Karamazov Brothers
hosted a family-friendly, all the bells and whistles, madcap evening of
music, juggling, magic, acrobatics, clowning, aerial acts and comedy.
In
addition to the Flying Karamazov
Brothers, even the most casual observer may have noted that
Faith Petric (the legendary
folksinger) and Hacki
(winner of the European "Golden Nose" award for clowning) and Duo
Madrona (lyrical aerialists) and
Kazüm!
(Portland's premiere acrobalance troupe) and
The
Fighting Instruments of Karma Marching Chamber Band/Orchestra
(captains of choice cuts) were just a few of the Special Guests amongst
our multi-generational troupe.
Before
the
Vaudeville Extravaganza, were
these FREE events:
The
colorful Everybody's Welcome Parade,
complete with marching band, jugglers, stilt walkers, dancers and
little fairies, which promenaded down the main streets of towns,
announcing our arrival.
The
Free Educational Circus, at
which one could learn to juggle, hula-hoop, perform acrobatics, play
samba rhythms, clown, or mystify friends with a magic trick. Other
activities included mask-making, trash fashions made from recycled
materials, quilting (making "blankees" for local, at-risk infants), and
a song swap (at which one was invited to bring one's musical
instruments and songs.) Nautical workshops included knot-tying, sea
chanteys, nautical storytelling, a Salish Sea historical lecture and
how to use GPS.
