When
it’s time to pull up the tent stakes and roll up the canvas
in the fall, the Big Top Chautauqua performers and crew hit
the road to bring our original shows to performing arts centers
and schools throughout the Midwest. Our Chautauqua Original
Musicals capture the essence of living in the Midwest through
original music, stories and large-screen historic images,
with songs about the Great Lakes, the people and the land.
We always enjoy going on the road to share the stories, songs
and images of the places we call home. We hope to see you
in your community!
