KAHLO-O'KEEFFE-DICKINSON-vertMARYLAND HUMANITIES COUNCIL’s 20TH ANNIVERSARY CHAUTAUQUA LIVING HISTORY SERIES FEATURES BOLD, CREATIVE WOMEN

The Maryland Humanities Council (MHC), in conjunction with local partners, will present the 20th-annual summer Chautauqua series in six Maryland counties from July 5 through July 14.

Free and open to the public, live local musical and theatrical acts open each show. Living history performances by actors/scholars are followed by question and answer sessions, which spark spirited conversation and provide informative family fun. Audiences will hear from the voices of the reclusive poet Emily Dickinson, celebrated Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, and American painter Georgia O’Keeffe. Via partnerships with the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance and Montgomery College, select performances will be live streamed; audiences will be able to access the performance via the MHC homepage at www.mdhc.org.

Chautauqua performances will take place at Garrett College in McHenry, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, the College of Southern Maryland in La Plata (as part of their Twilight Performance Series), Montgomery College in Germantown, the Community College of Baltimore County in Dundalk, the Cecil County Public Library’s Elkton Branch, and Perryville Middle School.
