SUMMARY:Sabrina Lynn Motley & Jeffrey Rosen
DESCRIPTION:Sabrina Lynn Motley\nDirector\, Smithsonian Folklife Festival\nJeffrey Rosen\nPresident and CEO\, National Constitution Center\n10:45 a.m. Thursday\, August 21\, 2025  \nFrequent Chautauqua collaborators Sabrina Lynn Motley and Jeffrey Rosen return to Chautauqua for the penultimate Chautauqua Lecture Series program of 2025. They will contribute to our discussion of “Past Informs Present: How to Harness History” by sharing in conversation their two prominent national institutions’ approaches to considering\, commemorating and celebrating America’s semiquincentennial\, as the birthday year approaches in 2026\, along with their perspectives generally on the curation and presentation of history in physical spaces. \nSabrina Lynn Motley is the director of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival at the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. Before joining the center in 2013\, she was the senior director of programs and exhibitions at Asia Society Texas Center in Houston. Under Motley’s leadership\, the Texas Center expanded its public offerings and strengthened its collaborative approach to program creation and implementation. Through performances\, lectures\, exhibitions\, and workshops\, its programming reflected Houston’s rapidly changing demographics and its role as a gateway to Asia. While at the Texas Center\, Motley oversaw the mounting of several critically acclaimed exhibitions\, including “Universe Is Flux: The Art of Tawara Yusaku\,” organized by the Indianapolis Museum\, and “Weavers’ Stories from Island Southeast Asia\,” organized by the Fowler Museum at UCLA. \nMotley’s most recent exhibitions speak to her interest in the creative lives of women and the role of traditional arts in contemporary life. As a world music aficionada\, for more than five years she was a popular host of “The Global Village\,” KPFK 90.7 FM’s flagship music program. As a teacher\, she has taught cultural anthropology at the Art Center College of Design and the Otis Institute for Art and Design. Motley earned her bachelor’s degree from the World Arts & Cultures Program and master’s degree in African studies at UCLA. She is a doctoral candidate in anthropology at UCLA\, where she conducted research on the interplay between religious faith\, doubt and social activism. \nJeffrey Rosen is president and chief executive officer of the National Constitution Center\, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate the public about the U.S. Constitution. His latest book\, The Pursuit of Happiness: How Classical Writers on Virtue Inspired the Lives of the Founders and Defined America\, was the basis for his most recent Amphitheater appearance in 2024; he also appeared as part of the 2025 Chautauqua Forum on Democracy in June\, where he was publicly announced and recognized for the first time as the newly appointed 2025–26 Chautauqua Perry Fellow in Democracy. \nIn addition to his roles of president and CEO of the National Constitution Center\, which he has held since 2013\, Rosen is also a professor of law at the George Washington University Law School and a contributing editor of The Atlantic. He was previously the legal affairs editor of The New Republic and a staff writer for The New Yorker. At the National Constitution Center\, he is the host of “We the People\,” a weekly podcast of constitutional debate. \nRosen’s forthcoming book The Pursuit of Liberty How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America\, to be published in October. He is the author of seven other books\, including the New York Times bestseller Conversations with RBG: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Life\, Love\, Liberty\, and Law\, as well as biographies of Louis Brandeis and William Howard Taft. He is a graduate of Harvard College; Oxford University\, where he was a Marshall Scholar; and Yale Law School.

SUMMARY:Decision Making in the Age of Plastics: A choose-your-own-adventure style guide to purchasing while balancing your health\, the planet and your budget.
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that microplastics are in our food\, in our water and in our brains (among other places)?! Have you sat staring at a shopping cart on your screen or at an item in a shop and experienced a moment (or several moments) of a modern sort of existential panic thinking\, “Should I buy this?” \nIn Decision-Making in the Age of Plastics\, Cora Ball Co-inventor\, National Geographic Explorer and Chief Ocean Lover\, Rachael Zoe Miller takes you through an easy-to-use\, interactive process that mixes knowledge with practical considerations about items that present frequent conundrums\, from fleece jackets to take-away food packaging\, laundry detergent\, and more. You will be guided through a 5-question framework that helps you make purchases (or decisions not to purchase) that you will feel good about. \nThe goals of this choose-your-own-adventure style guidebook are to help protect you and your family’s health\, to protect the ocean\, to protect the planet\, to save you money or help you spend it wisely\, to eradicate buyer’s remorse\, and to inject a heap of learning and some fun along the way. \nThis event is the official launch of this high-impact book. Copies will be available at the Chautauqua Bookstore by August 13 and on the day of the event.

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:Debra Magpie Earling
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle Presentation —  The Lost Journals of Sacajewea: A Novel by Debra Magpie Earling \nAmong the most memorialized women in American history\, Sacajewea served as interpreter and guide for Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery. In this visionary novel\, acclaimed Indigenous author Debra Magpie Earling brings this mythologized figure vividly to life\, casting unsparing light on the men who brutalized her and recentering Sacajewea as the arbiter of her own history.  \nHere\, the young Sacajewea is bright and bold\, growing strong from the hard work of “learning all ways to survive.” When her village is raided\, Sacajewea is kidnapped and then gambled away to Charbonneau\, a French-Canadian trapper. Heavy with grief\, she learns how to survive at the edge of a strange new world. When Lewis and Clark’s expedition party arrives\, Sacajewea knows she must cross a vast and brutal terrain with her newborn son\, the white man who owns her\, and a company of men who wish to conquer and commodify the world she loves.  \nWritten in lyrical\, dreamlike prose\, The Lost Journals of Sacajewea is an astonishing work of art and a powerful tale of perseverance—the Indigenous woman’s story that hasn’t been told.  \nDebra Magpie Earling was born in Spokane\, Washington. She received her BA from the University of Washington in Seattle and her MA and MFA in Fiction from Cornell University. From 1991 to 1998\, Earling held positions in both Native American Studies and Creative Writing at the University of Montana in Missoula. Currently\, she is an associate professor in the English Department there and teaches Fiction and Native American Studies.  \nPerma Red (Blue Hen Books 2002) was her first novel. It received the Western Writers Association Spur Award for Best Novel of the West in 2003\, the Mountain and Plains Bookseller Association Award\, WWA’s Medicine Pipe Bearer Award for Best First Novel\, a WILLA Literary Award\, and the American Book Award. It is a Montana Book Award Honor Book and was chosen by Barnes & Noble as part of its Discover Great New Writers series.  \nHer latest novel (May 2023)\, The Lost Journals of Sacajewea is a devastatingly beautiful novel that challenges prevailing historical narratives of Sacajewea.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents the world premiere of The Witnesses (formerly titled Tell Me You’re Dying)
DESCRIPTION:By C.A.
