Our Shows

Chautauqua is Interactive Theater. Our performances have taken us on astonishing journeys into the past — to laugh with Mark Twain — to dream with Martin Luther King, Jr. — to walk the Trail of Tears with the Cherokee — to wonder with Rachel Carson. Come along with us for more explorations and become an “eyewitness” to History. Chautauqua performers are part scholar and part actor. Fascinated by their characters for years, they can answer your questions in the character’s own words. Our programs reflect America’s diversity and feature compelling discussion. And it’s not a Chautauqua performance without audience participation. Prepare to meet some incredible people. Keep the questions coming and the conversation going!

Our Mission

Greenville Chautauqua brings history to life, through interactive theater, where compelling discussion stimulates critical thinking. We celebrate the diversity of our culture through a variety of voices from the past. Because our history belongs to all of us, we are committed to keeping our events free, fun and accessible to the entire community.

Our Vision

 A brighter future through an enlightened understanding of the past.

Our Supporters

We would not exist it it weren't for our wonderful donors and volunteers!
