What begins as an innocent exploration of an old home, winds up taking siblings Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter far beyond their wildest imaginations, as they step through a huge wardrobe, into a land where an evil witch has taken control and misery reigns.

By demonstrating love, keeping faith and showing courage, the children find they have the power triumph over evil and return Narnia to its rightful leader. Children and adults alike will be enthralled by this classic C.S. Lewis story.

Winter Chautauqua kicks off the 2020 theme of “Reinventing America,” with Teddy Roosevelt.
What better way to “Reinvent America” then with the Rough Rider, Nobel Prize winning President who stepped down at the height of his popularity to four years later bolt the Republican Party and challenge his hand picked successor? In ninety days, Roosevelt’s “Bull Moose” Party humbled a sitting president and decisively beat a party that had dominated national politics for forty years. American politics was never then same again.
Get ready to flat out be amazed as you meet – Teddy Roosevelt. You’ll laugh – you’ll be challenged – you’ll have lots of questions. And as always at Chautauqua, the audience is part of the show. Bring your stories. Share your experiences. Get inspired. Because it’s not just history– it’s personal.
The format of a Chautauqua performance takes the audience to another time and includes an approximately thirty to forty-minute costumed performance by the performer, followed by a question and answer session with the audience and the character. The character can only answer questions within his or her lifetime. After that, the performer ‘breaks character’ and answers audience questions as an expert on that character. “The audience is as much of the show as the performer is,” says Caroline McIntyre, Greenville Chautauqua Administrator and performer. “Often our greatest insights are from the interaction of the audience with these characters.”

In the throes of unprecedented challenges to privacy, truth, and personal expression, AQUILA THEATRE brings 1984, George Orwell’s cautionary novel, to the stage.
As our modern world grapples with the threats and benefits of technological integration, AQUILA THEATRE’s production of 1984 provides a space to appreciate the value of individual thought – an evocative and timely narrative of personal freedom against political repression. Today, Orwell’s prescient story resonates around the globe as individuals, systems, and governments clash.
Written in 1944 near the end of World War II, 1984 depicts a society controlled by a perfectly totalitarian government bent on repressing all subversive tendencies. “Big Brother” is always watching and technology is wielded as a weapon to inundate citizens with propaganda and to monitor thoughts and actions. Imagined before the existence of computers, this dystopian future explores the power of technology as a mental manipulator and source of curated information.
The resurgence of 1984 marks a widespread desire to understand the present moment by looking back… How far are we from realizing Orwell’s nightmare? Are we already there? Can there be more than one truth, more than one set of facts?
