CHAUTAUQUA PLAYHOUSE
CHILDREN'S THEATRE
AT
CARMICHAEL ELKS
4TH OF JULY PARADE 2025
Join us this Summer for Exciting Entertainment!
: It’s Script; It’s Improv! Having opened in
1988 and still playing today as the longest-running show in Chicago history, is
an ensemble experiment in presenting "30
Plays in 60 Minutes." Each two-minute play is performed in random order
with an interactive audience. An onstage 60-minute timer keeps everyone honest.
This collection of comic, tragic, political, personal, and abstract plays gives
you the chance to program your own evening of 30 Neo-Futurist plays to reflect
the lives and experiences of your own ensemble. And…Go! Every night will be a unique show.
Note: This is not a traditional Chautauqua Production. It contains mature subject matter with political, sexual and societal commentary with the use of strong language. Almost everyone will find something they consider offensive or disagree with, but will also find a lot of humor, passion and caring.
SUMMER STARS
Summer Stars is an interactive variety show packed with singing, dancing, and maybe even a little magic. This is not a sit-and-watch kind of show - kids will jump into the fun with chances to sing along, be on stage, act in a play, and help bring the show to life. Plus, get an exclusive first look at next season’s amazing children’s productions!
There will be fun photo ops for our Summer Stars as well!
This is a pay what you can or will promotional show, created as a fun alternative to our usual CSPA children's program.
Acts should be around two minutes long and geared toward children. Extra points if your act is interactive!
If you’d like to be involved, email anistanleighusa@yahoo.com
Brochures are currently being mailed.
Single tickets will be available in late July
Season Subscriptions being accepted now.
