The New Old Time Chautauqua
There are so many things in our world that need attention —
sustainability, thinking local, healthy food,
climate change — and we think the important business
of re-educating ourselves has got to be fun, too.
Mixed in with all the interesting and innovative ideas at
the Great Peninsula Future Festival, we
will offer whimsy and humor through
music, juggling, magic, aerial, acrobatics
and comedy.
In confusing and challenging times,
laughter, friendship and mirth are some
of the main ingredients of a nourishing
meal for tired and care-worn spirits.
We are honored to serve up "food for
the soul."

In our culture where images arrive fast and furious from television screens, our imaginations blossom when we are invited to make up our own pictures by listening to the words of a well told tale.
