High Plains Chautauqua is a unique blend of history, theatre and the humanities brought to life under a Chautauqua tent, giving audiences the opportunity to meet and engage with personalities from the past. This year’s theme is ‘Visionaries at Home and Abroad. ’The High Plains Chautauqua program is free, and runs August 2 - 6, 2011 on the campus of AIMS Community College in Greeley. KUNC’s Erin O’Toole spoke with Brian ‘Fox’ Ellis, who portrays Charles Darwin and Walt Whitman, about what makes Chautauqua such a draw for audiences, and why it continues to be relevant.
