SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents the world premiere of The Witnesses (formerly titled Tell Me You’re Dying)
DESCRIPTION:By C.A. Johnson\nDirected by Jade King Carroll  \nThe Witnesses compels us to question not only if we can change but if we have time to do so while the world appears to be ending.\nInfused with C.A. Johnson’s brutal honesty\, exacting humor\, and heartfelt exploration of human relationships\, the story pulses with urgency\, vulnerability and unexpected warmth. \nWhile an apocalyptic plague rages\, five individuals unite in their weekly support group to forge a sanctuary of care and companionship. Centering on the darkly funny and wildly magnetic Millicent and her chosen family of misfits\, this play explores the undeniable physical urge for human connection. \nThis production is recommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Heritage Lecture Series - Jari Villanueva
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Oliver Archives Center’s 2025 Heritage Lecture Series\, Jari Villanueva will present “A Blast from the Past: The Bugle in History”. \nJari Villanueva retired from the United States Air Force where he spent 23 years with The USAF Band in Washington DC. He is considered the country’s foremost expert on military bugle calls\, particularly the call of Taps which is sounded at military funerals. While in the Air Force he was the Non-Commissioned Officer In Charge of The USAF Band’s State Funeral Plans and was the NCOIC of the command post at Andrews AFB which oversaw the arrival and departure ceremonies for the late Presidents Reagan and Ford. As a ceremonial trumpeter\, Villanueva participated in well over 5\,000 ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery\, served as an assistant drum major leading The USAF Ceremonial Brass in funerals at Arlington. He was responsible for all the music performed by the USAF Bands for state funerals. Between 1998-2002 Villanueva created a display at Arlington National Cemetery highlighting the history of the military bugler. He was responsible for moving the bugle used at President John F. Kennedy’s funeral from the Smithsonian to Arlington where it is currently on display. In 2007 Villanueva was inducted into the Buglers Hall of Fame\, the first active duty military bugler to be so honored.

SUMMARY:FAMILIAR TOUCH
DESCRIPTION:Writer-director Sarah Friedland’s coming-of-old-age feature compassionately follows the winding path of octogenarian Ruth’s (Kathleen Chalfant) shifting memories and desires while remaining rooted in her sage perspective. “Ruth is merely\, momentously human: an older woman in need\, but no less expressive of life’s fullness because of it. It’s a portrayal to remember\, for as long as any of us can.” -Robert Abele\, Los Angeles Times “A gorgeous drama with an open\, aching heart.” -Jourdain Searles\, RogerEbert.com (NR\, 91m)
