CHAUTAUQUA Civil Rights remembered through the eyes of
FREE (donations invited) Near the Fourth of July each year, the Maryland Humanities Council brings the Chautauqua tent to six community colleges in Maryland. More than 4,000 people attend - Marylanders and tourists, children, retired people, public officials. At a Chautauqua, scholar/actors portray a historical character for a community audience, complete with costume, props, mannerisms and accents. After the presentation, the performer answers the audience's questions first in character, then as him- or herself. * Alice Paul is performed by Garrett County's own Joanna Guy.
