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.
