Chautauqua

One of the most exciting and experimental troupes around, the National Theater of the United State of America, presents Chatauqua!! Inspired by the Chatauqua Circuit, a wildly popular travelling lecture series, that flourished from 1874 to the Great Depression, where scholars, scientists, magicians, jugglers, and dancers gathered in circus tents across the country to educate and entertain the common man.

Chatauqua! brings this American tradition into the 21st Century, straddling high and low culture as it weaves lectures on history, culture and capitalism with live music, magic, slapstick, and dance.
