The American Spirit: Practical Dreamers For five days each August, audiences step back in time as High Plains Chautauqua (HPC) recreates the turn-of-the-century traveling tent Chautauqua that brought education and entertainment to communities in the form of lectures, concerts, and plays. HPC is continuing its three-year series on the "American identity," bringing to the Chautauqua tent historic characters who demonstrate uniquely American traits. “The American Spirit: Practical Dreamers,” will feature nineteenth century Americans who created the American dream – and the American myth. The way they dreamed and, in their own pragmatic way, put those dreams into effect created what it means to be American. HPC will be held August 5-9 at Aims Community College in Greeley.

KUNC Presents Garrison Keillor's Rhubarb Tour KUNC is the presenting sponsor of Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion "Home of the Heart" Rhubarb Tour, stopping by Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver on August 20th. How does the Rhubarb Tour differ from A Prairie Home Companion? Here’s how Garrison explains it: "The tour show that will go around in August and early September is a concert version of the radio show. There is some Guy Noir, but no Dusty & Lefty. There is Fred Newman and his sound effects, and the Guy's All Star Shoe Band and singer Suzy Bogguss and me—some duets, the news from Lake Wobegon, and of course commercials for rhubarb." Tickets are still available at all TicketMaster retail outlets and online at http://www.ticketmaster.com  You can also find more information at www.redrocksonline.com. Little Theater of the Rockies KUNC is sponsoring the 74th Season of the Little Theater of the Rockies this summer. Look here for a list of upcoming performances.
