The Chautauqua Council of Enid wishes to thank everyone who attended "Anything Goes: America in the Roaring Twenties." It is our honor to bring this programming to Enid each year.

A special thanks to our sponsors. Without their support, Chautauqua would not happen in Enid.

Saturday at Chautauqua: Mae West dazzled, sparkled and flirted her way around the Chautauqua stage. The pre-show entertainment from Riley Jantzen was fabulous as always.

This was the final night for Anything Goes: America in the Roaring Twenties. Our scholars are off to Lawton for one more week of Chautauqua performances. We hope you enjoyed Al Capone, Zitkala-Sa, Zane Grey, Bessie Smith and Mae West and learned something about these characters that you didn't know before.

Thursday at Chautauqua: Western writer Zane Gray, portrayed by David Fenimore, with pre-show entertainment from the Gaslight Theatre cast of The Drowsy Chaperone.

Tonight, don't miss 1920s influential blues singer Bessie Smith at 7:30 with pre-show music at 6:30 from Mixed Company.

Chautauqua is Interactive Theater. Our performances take you on an astonishing journey into the past — to laugh with Mark Twain — to dream with Martin Luther King, Jr. — to walk the Trail of Tears with the Cherokee. You become an “eyewitness” to history.

Wednesday at Enid Chautauqua; Zitkala-Sa, performed by Selene Phillips, with pre-show entertainment from Steven Harwood.

Anything Goes: America in the Roaring Twenties continues with western writer Zane Grey tonight, blues singer Bessie Smith on Friday and actress Mae West on Saturday. Feature presentations begin at 7:30 pm with pre-show entertainment at 6:30 pm. Chautauqua takes place on the NWOSU-Enid campus and admission is free.

What you will see at a Chautauqua show: One character — minimal set – and the audience is the supporting cast! First, a nationally acclaimed historical interpreter transports you back in time to tell a famous person’s stories. Then, the audience gets to join in to quiz the historical figure. Finally, the performer steps out of character and answers audience questions the subject couldn’t answer — or wouldn’t answer truthfully.
