ASHLAND CHAUTAUQUA proudly presents its 15th Annual event with Poetry &
Prose beginning Tuesday, July 15 and continuing through Saturday, July 19,
ASHLAND CHAUTAUQUA will present five evening performances on stage at the Guy
C. Myers Memorial Band Shell in the City of Ashland’s picturesque Brookside
Park along with numerous daytime programs held throughout Ashland County
for youth, adults and seniors. All events are free and open to public.

At CHAUTAUQUA, youth and adults witness history in its most compelling form
- first person historical portrayals. Five trained scholar/actors assume a
historical figure from literature as they present exciting living history
performances. Through a mixture of education and entertainment, ASHLAND
CHAUTAUQUA 2014 hosts these nationally recruited scholar/actors to portray
historic figures including American cartoonist and children’s author *Dr.
Seuss*, Irish novelist/theologian *C. S. Lewis*, Dutch citizen *Miep
Gies* who helped
hide Anne Frank and preserved her diary, American poet *Robert Frost*, and
novelist/designer *Edith Wharton*.

ASHLAND CHAUTAUQUA has developed a strong audience in and around Ashland
County due to support from the Ohio Humanities Council and their production
of the OHIO CHAUTAUQUA. Ashland continues the tradition in 2014 with major
underwriting from the OHC, Ohio Arts Council and the City of Ashland’s
Parks & Recreation Department.
