The Elling House Arts & Humanities Center in Virginia City will continue its popular tradition of hosting Chautauqua programs on January 16th, February 20th, March 19th and April 16th.
Each of the programs will begin at 7:30, and will be preceded by a potluck dinner beginning at 6:30. Those interested in performing should call 406-843-5454.
The Chautauqua programs provide a wonderfully entertaining blend of music and original writing presented by area residents. The Chautauqua concept, founded in 1874, is a uniquely American tradition of bringing entertainment and cultural programs to rural communities, and several Montana communities once hosted one or more of the “circuit Chautauqua” companies during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.
The Elling House is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing the residents of southwest Montana with quality programs in the areas of literature, history, and the visual and performing arts. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the association or serving as a volunteer for events or committees is encouraged to visit our website: www.ellinghouse.org.
