SUMMARY:Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne
DESCRIPTION:The Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne\, is a teacher\, preacher\, scholar\, & consultant who delights in & encourages wholeness\, justice\, and healing with all creation. Her work in Beloved Speech\, centers on identity formation\, deep listening\, and relationship building\, particularly within the context of antiracist and decolonized preaching and worship practices. \nSuzanne’s passion for social justice is guided by her ongoing relationships with members of various Indigenous Nations\, including the Kiowa\, Lakota\, Cherokee\, MVSKOKE (Creek)\, Choctaw\, Chickasaw\, Abenaki\, Shinnecock\, Southern Ute\, Lenape\, and Yuchi. These connections enrich her understanding and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples within her ministry and scholarship. \nIn addition to her published works on decolonized and antiracist preaching\, she published essays\, and articles\, developed curricula\, designed worship experiences\, and crafted liturgies addressing critical topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls\, the Doctrine of Discovery\, Creation Care—including “Water is Life: Mní Wičóni”—the history of Methodist women preachers and activists\, John Wesley’s interactions with various nations during his time in Georgia\, and the legacy of Methodist involvement with Native American Boarding Schools. \nServing in various academic and ministerial roles\, she currently holds the position of Assistant Professor of Worship and Preaching and the Director of Mast Chapel at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. She earned her Ph.D. in Liturgical Studies with a concentration in Women’s Studies from Drew University Theological School.  An ordained elder in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference\, Suzanne is also an antiracism trainer\, and Communications chairperson for the Northeastern Jurisdiction of the Native American Ministries Committee for The United Methodist Church.  \nHer work with the diverse faculty\, staff\, and student body at NBTS is informed by her experiences leading churches of various sizes and settings that included congregations comprised of white settlers as well as arrivants\, multi-lingual\, multi-cultural\, and inter-generational members. Inspired by her training as a fine artist\, dancer\, and thespian\, her congregations engaged in various worship styles such as Blended\, sacramental-contemplative\, Pentacostal-Charismatic\, Maranatha style Contemporary\, and Emergent Ancient-Modern. \nWoven throughout her life has been a calling to engage in practices and honest conversations that strive to undermine and dismantle systemic racism and colonization and invite people to live more deeply into the kin-dom of God by seeking to honor each other’s differences\, and embody a spirituality that recognizes all creation as beloved.

SUMMARY:CTC presents the DNAWORKS production of The Real James Bond...Was Dominican
DESCRIPTION:Written and Performed by Christopher Rivas\nDeveloped with and Directed by Daniel Banks  \nWhat happens when a James Bond-obsessed Dominican boy in Queens (who won’t go anywhere without his nerf gun)\, finds out that the real James Bond was Dominican?

SUMMARY:WARFARE
DESCRIPTION:Written and directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland (Ex Machina\, Civil War\, 28 Days Later)\, Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs on a surveillance mission gone wrong in insurgent territory. A visceral\, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare and brotherhood\, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it. “The sheer technical brilliance and strength of performances\, cannot fail to connect when you take on the film on its own terms\, as pure human experience in the most hellish of circumstances.” -Martin Robinson\, London Evening Standard (R\, 95m)

SUMMARY:Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne
DESCRIPTION:The Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne\, is a teacher\, preacher\, scholar\, & consultant who delights in & encourages wholeness\, justice\, and healing with all creation. Her work in Beloved Speech\, centers on identity formation\, deep listening\, and relationship building\, particularly within the context of antiracist and decolonized preaching and worship practices. \nSuzanne’s passion for social justice is guided by her ongoing relationships with members of various Indigenous Nations\, including the Kiowa\, Lakota\, Cherokee\, MVSKOKE (Creek)\, Choctaw\, Chickasaw\, Abenaki\, Shinnecock\, Southern Ute\, Lenape\, and Yuchi. These connections enrich her understanding and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples within her ministry and scholarship. \nIn addition to her published works on decolonized and antiracist preaching\, she published essays\, and articles\, developed curricula\, designed worship experiences\, and crafted liturgies addressing critical topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls\, the Doctrine of Discovery\, Creation Care—including “Water is Life: Mní Wičóni”—the history of Methodist women preachers and activists\, John Wesley’s interactions with various nations during his time in Georgia\, and the legacy of Methodist involvement with Native American Boarding Schools. \nServing in various academic and ministerial roles\, she currently holds the position of Assistant Professor of Worship and Preaching and the Director of Mast Chapel at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. She earned her Ph.D. in Liturgical Studies with a concentration in Women’s Studies from Drew University Theological School.  An ordained elder in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference\, Suzanne is also an antiracism trainer\, and Communications chairperson for the Northeastern Jurisdiction of the Native American Ministries Committee for The United Methodist Church.  \nHer work with the diverse faculty\, staff\, and student body at NBTS is informed by her experiences leading churches of various sizes and settings that included congregations comprised of white settlers as well as arrivants\, multi-lingual\, multi-cultural\, and inter-generational members. Inspired by her training as a fine artist\, dancer\, and thespian\, her congregations engaged in various worship styles such as Blended\, sacramental-contemplative\, Pentacostal-Charismatic\, Maranatha style Contemporary\, and Emergent Ancient-Modern. \nWoven throughout her life has been a calling to engage in practices and honest conversations that strive to undermine and dismantle systemic racism and colonization and invite people to live more deeply into the kin-dom of God by seeking to honor each other’s differences\, and embody a spirituality that recognizes all creation as beloved.

SUMMARY:Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne
DESCRIPTION:The Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne\, is a teacher\, preacher\, scholar\, & consultant who delights in & encourages wholeness\, justice\, and healing with all creation. Her work in Beloved Speech\, centers on identity formation\, deep listening\, and relationship building\, particularly within the context of antiracist and decolonized preaching and worship practices. \nSuzanne’s passion for social justice is guided by her ongoing relationships with members of various Indigenous Nations\, including the Kiowa\, Lakota\, Cherokee\, MVSKOKE (Creek)\, Choctaw\, Chickasaw\, Abenaki\, Shinnecock\, Southern Ute\, Lenape\, and Yuchi. These connections enrich her understanding and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples within her ministry and scholarship. \nIn addition to her published works on decolonized and antiracist preaching\, she published essays\, and articles\, developed curricula\, designed worship experiences\, and crafted liturgies addressing critical topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls\, the Doctrine of Discovery\, Creation Care—including “Water is Life: Mní Wičóni”—the history of Methodist women preachers and activists\, John Wesley’s interactions with various nations during his time in Georgia\, and the legacy of Methodist involvement with Native American Boarding Schools. \nServing in various academic and ministerial roles\, she currently holds the position of Assistant Professor of Worship and Preaching and the Director of Mast Chapel at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. She earned her Ph.D. in Liturgical Studies with a concentration in Women’s Studies from Drew University Theological School.  An ordained elder in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference\, Suzanne is also an antiracism trainer\, and Communications chairperson for the Northeastern Jurisdiction of the Native American Ministries Committee for The United Methodist Church.  \nHer work with the diverse faculty\, staff\, and student body at NBTS is informed by her experiences leading churches of various sizes and settings that included congregations comprised of white settlers as well as arrivants\, multi-lingual\, multi-cultural\, and inter-generational members. Inspired by her training as a fine artist\, dancer\, and thespian\, her congregations engaged in various worship styles such as Blended\, sacramental-contemplative\, Pentacostal-Charismatic\, Maranatha style Contemporary\, and Emergent Ancient-Modern. \nWoven throughout her life has been a calling to engage in practices and honest conversations that strive to undermine and dismantle systemic racism and colonization and invite people to live more deeply into the kin-dom of God by seeking to honor each other’s differences\, and embody a spirituality that recognizes all creation as beloved.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Tipping Point: Mobilizing Climate Solutions for a Sustainable Future
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Science Group Weekly Talk with Prof. Brian Webb\, Wooster College: Beyond the Tipping Point: Mobilizing Climate Solutions for a Sustainable Future.\nThis talk will evaluate global progress on addressing the climate crisis and explore the forces necessary to accelerate climate action in the coming decades.  Beginning with a frank assessment of our situation\, we first demonstrate how current actions to reduce carbon emissions fall significantly short of what is needed.  At the same time\, important tipping points\, such as the economics of renewable energy\, the rapid expansion of electric vehicles\, and nearing peak emissions all point toward significant breakthroughs in climate action.  We will close by examining the technical\, political\, financial\, and social changes needed to make meaningful progress toward achieving global climate goals\, with an emphasis on solutions that are currently available and realistic.  By focusing on these essential drivers of change\, this talk aims to illuminate a clear path toward meaningful\, sustained action that ensures a livable future.

SUMMARY:Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne
DESCRIPTION:The Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne\, is a teacher\, preacher\, scholar\, & consultant who delights in & encourages wholeness\, justice\, and healing with all creation. Her work in Beloved Speech\, centers on identity formation\, deep listening\, and relationship building\, particularly within the context of antiracist and decolonized preaching and worship practices. \nSuzanne’s passion for social justice is guided by her ongoing relationships with members of various Indigenous Nations\, including the Kiowa\, Lakota\, Cherokee\, MVSKOKE (Creek)\, Choctaw\, Chickasaw\, Abenaki\, Shinnecock\, Southern Ute\, Lenape\, and Yuchi. These connections enrich her understanding and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples within her ministry and scholarship. \nIn addition to her published works on decolonized and antiracist preaching\, she published essays\, and articles\, developed curricula\, designed worship experiences\, and crafted liturgies addressing critical topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls\, the Doctrine of Discovery\, Creation Care—including “Water is Life: Mní Wičóni”—the history of Methodist women preachers and activists\, John Wesley’s interactions with various nations during his time in Georgia\, and the legacy of Methodist involvement with Native American Boarding Schools. \nServing in various academic and ministerial roles\, she currently holds the position of Assistant Professor of Worship and Preaching and the Director of Mast Chapel at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. She earned her Ph.D. in Liturgical Studies with a concentration in Women’s Studies from Drew University Theological School.  An ordained elder in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference\, Suzanne is also an antiracism trainer\, and Communications chairperson for the Northeastern Jurisdiction of the Native American Ministries Committee for The United Methodist Church.  \nHer work with the diverse faculty\, staff\, and student body at NBTS is informed by her experiences leading churches of various sizes and settings that included congregations comprised of white settlers as well as arrivants\, multi-lingual\, multi-cultural\, and inter-generational members. Inspired by her training as a fine artist\, dancer\, and thespian\, her congregations engaged in various worship styles such as Blended\, sacramental-contemplative\, Pentacostal-Charismatic\, Maranatha style Contemporary\, and Emergent Ancient-Modern. \nWoven throughout her life has been a calling to engage in practices and honest conversations that strive to undermine and dismantle systemic racism and colonization and invite people to live more deeply into the kin-dom of God by seeking to honor each other’s differences\, and embody a spirituality that recognizes all creation as beloved.

SUMMARY:Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne
DESCRIPTION:The Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne\, is a teacher\, preacher\, scholar\, & consultant who delights in & encourages wholeness\, justice\, and healing with all creation. Her work in Beloved Speech\, centers on identity formation\, deep listening\, and relationship building\, particularly within the context of antiracist and decolonized preaching and worship practices. \nSuzanne’s passion for social justice is guided by her ongoing relationships with members of various Indigenous Nations\, including the Kiowa\, Lakota\, Cherokee\, MVSKOKE (Creek)\, Choctaw\, Chickasaw\, Abenaki\, Shinnecock\, Southern Ute\, Lenape\, and Yuchi. These connections enrich her understanding and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples within her ministry and scholarship. \nIn addition to her published works on decolonized and antiracist preaching\, she published essays\, and articles\, developed curricula\, designed worship experiences\, and crafted liturgies addressing critical topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls\, the Doctrine of Discovery\, Creation Care—including “Water is Life: Mní Wičóni”—the history of Methodist women preachers and activists\, John Wesley’s interactions with various nations during his time in Georgia\, and the legacy of Methodist involvement with Native American Boarding Schools. \nServing in various academic and ministerial roles\, she currently holds the position of Assistant Professor of Worship and Preaching and the Director of Mast Chapel at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. She earned her Ph.D. in Liturgical Studies with a concentration in Women’s Studies from Drew University Theological School.  An ordained elder in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference\, Suzanne is also an antiracism trainer\, and Communications chairperson for the Northeastern Jurisdiction of the Native American Ministries Committee for The United Methodist Church.  \nHer work with the diverse faculty\, staff\, and student body at NBTS is informed by her experiences leading churches of various sizes and settings that included congregations comprised of white settlers as well as arrivants\, multi-lingual\, multi-cultural\, and inter-generational members. Inspired by her training as a fine artist\, dancer\, and thespian\, her congregations engaged in various worship styles such as Blended\, sacramental-contemplative\, Pentacostal-Charismatic\, Maranatha style Contemporary\, and Emergent Ancient-Modern. \nWoven throughout her life has been a calling to engage in practices and honest conversations that strive to undermine and dismantle systemic racism and colonization and invite people to live more deeply into the kin-dom of God by seeking to honor each other’s differences\, and embody a spirituality that recognizes all creation as beloved.

SUMMARY:George Saunders
DESCRIPTION:The recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship\, Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship\, and numerous literary awards\, George Saunders is the celebrated author of a novel\, four collections of short stories\, a novella\, a book of essays and a children’s book. His most recent collection\, Liberation Day\, is a masterful collection that explores ideas of power\, ethics and justice\, cutting to the very heart of what it means to live in community with our fellow humans. It is this work that will help frame his joint presentation for the Chautauqua Lecture Series and Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle\, during a week dedicated to “Art in Action: Building Community Through the Arts\,” in which he’ll consider the significance of books\, stories and the literary arts as cultural touchstones in our increasingly siloed and stratified social and intellectual consciousness.  \nIn 2017\, Saunders won the Man Booker Prize for his long-awaited first novel Lincoln in the Bardo. His collection Tenth of December was a finalist for the National Book Award\, and winner of the 2014 Story Prize for short fiction and the 2014 Folio Prize\, which celebrates the best fiction of our time.  \nHis work appears regularly in The New Yorker\, GQ and Harpers Magazine\, and has appeared in the O’Henry\, Best American Short Story\, Best Non-Required Reading and Best American Travel Writing anthologies. Named by TIME Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2013\, Saunders teaches in the Creative Writing Program at Syracuse University.

SUMMARY:Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne
DESCRIPTION:The Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne\, is a teacher\, preacher\, scholar\, & consultant who delights in & encourages wholeness\, justice\, and healing with all creation. Her work in Beloved Speech\, centers on identity formation\, deep listening\, and relationship building\, particularly within the context of antiracist and decolonized preaching and worship practices. \nSuzanne’s passion for social justice is guided by her ongoing relationships with members of various Indigenous Nations\, including the Kiowa\, Lakota\, Cherokee\, MVSKOKE (Creek)\, Choctaw\, Chickasaw\, Abenaki\, Shinnecock\, Southern Ute\, Lenape\, and Yuchi. These connections enrich her understanding and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples within her ministry and scholarship. \nIn addition to her published works on decolonized and antiracist preaching\, she published essays\, and articles\, developed curricula\, designed worship experiences\, and crafted liturgies addressing critical topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls\, the Doctrine of Discovery\, Creation Care—including “Water is Life: Mní Wičóni”—the history of Methodist women preachers and activists\, John Wesley’s interactions with various nations during his time in Georgia\, and the legacy of Methodist involvement with Native American Boarding Schools. \nServing in various academic and ministerial roles\, she currently holds the position of Assistant Professor of Worship and Preaching and the Director of Mast Chapel at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. She earned her Ph.D. in Liturgical Studies with a concentration in Women’s Studies from Drew University Theological School.  An ordained elder in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference\, Suzanne is also an antiracism trainer\, and Communications chairperson for the Northeastern Jurisdiction of the Native American Ministries Committee for The United Methodist Church.  \nHer work with the diverse faculty\, staff\, and student body at NBTS is informed by her experiences leading churches of various sizes and settings that included congregations comprised of white settlers as well as arrivants\, multi-lingual\, multi-cultural\, and inter-generational members. Inspired by her training as a fine artist\, dancer\, and thespian\, her congregations engaged in various worship styles such as Blended\, sacramental-contemplative\, Pentacostal-Charismatic\, Maranatha style Contemporary\, and Emergent Ancient-Modern. \nWoven throughout her life has been a calling to engage in practices and honest conversations that strive to undermine and dismantle systemic racism and colonization and invite people to live more deeply into the kin-dom of God by seeking to honor each other’s differences\, and embody a spirituality that recognizes all creation as beloved.

SUMMARY:Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
DESCRIPTION:April 2025 marks the 32 year anniversary of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s remarkable arrival onto the music scene. Since its formation in the early nineties in Ventura\, California\, the band has toured virtually nonstop\, performing on average over 150 shows a year\, and has produced a sizable catalog of recorded music\, with sales of over 2 million albums to date. Early on\, during their legendary residency at the Derby nightclub in Los Angeles\, they reminded the world\, in the midst of the grunge era no less\, that it was still cool to swing. The band\, co-founded by singer Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren\, was at the forefront of the swing revival of that time\, blending a vibrant fusion of the classic American sounds of jazz\, swing\, and dixieland\, with the energy and spirit of contemporary culture.  \nBig Bad Voodoo Daddy’s all original core line-up includes Scotty Morris (lead vocals and guitar)\, Kurt Sodergren (drums)\, Dirk Shumaker (double bass and vocals)\, Andy Rowley (baritone saxophone and vocals)\, Glen “The Kid” Marhevka (trumpet)\, Karl Hunter (saxophones and clarinet) and Joshua Levy (piano and arranger).  \nBig Bad Voodoo Daddy’s efforts to promote and revitalize swing music have taken shape as much more than a simple tribute. Taking inspiration from the creators of this uniquely American art form\, the band’s original horn-infused music and legendary high energy show introduces the genre to a new and younger generation while remaining cognizant and respectful of the music’s rich legacy.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice (Preview)
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice (Preview)
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Teddy raShaan (Reeves) with Becka A. Alper
DESCRIPTION:Teddy raShaan (Reeves)\, Ph.D. is a multifaceted\, award-winning producer\, curator\, educator\, and storyteller. Currently\, Teddy serves as the Curator of Religion at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington\, D.C. Through this work at the NMAAHC\, teddy has created innovative projects that have highlighted the influence of digital technologies and media in capturing\, preserving\, and telling the stories of Black spiritual and religious life in the Americas. \nMost recently\, Teddy created and produced the NMAAHC’s first featured film\, gOD-Talk\, which explores the lives of seven Black Millennials (Buddhist\, Christians\, Atheist\, Ifa\, Muslim\, and Spiritualist) and how they are reimaging faith in the 21st century. The film has received critical acclaim having been selected in 12 film festivals and won Best LGBTQ film at the Northern Virginia Film Festival. In 2018\, teddy created\, and executive produced the Museum first digital series under the same name\, “gOD-Talk: A Black Millennials and Faith Conversation Series.” The series garner critical acclaim–having received more than 40 Telly Awards and five Shorty Awards for digital innovation\, tackling pressing social issues\, production\, religion and spirituality media\, art direction\, and more. \nIn addition\, Teddy curated the NMAAHC’s first born-digital religion exhibition\, “Jesus’ Hair Like Wool: Black Messianic Representations in Art\, History\, and Media\,” which explores– through a recently rediscovered sculpture of the Last Supper–the historic and contemporary role of Black messianic figures (Father Divine\, Martin Luther King\, Daddy Grace\, Marcus Garvey\, etc.) and portrayals in Black history\, music\, art\, and culture. In addition\, Teddy is the curator of the forthcoming exhibition\, “‘They Are Killing Me Tonight:’ The Final Words Black and LatinX Men from the Death Chamber\,” which explores the role of the death penalty and mass incarceration in the lives of Black and Brown men. Most recently\, teddy founded Art Like ME Inc.\, a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to help empower Black and Brown boys and men cultivate emotional intelligence through art and culture. One of the signature programs of the organization is gifting framed visual art prints\, by established artists\, to boys (newborn to 12th grade) at no cost. Working alongside Dr. Yolanda Pierce\, teddy helped to establish The Betsey Stockton Center for Black Church Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary. Teddy’s commitment to community led him to create The Reeves Group to help educational\, cultural\, and faithbased non-profit organizations\, domestically and internationally\, reach their fundraising and board goals. His work contributed to over $70 million in philanthropic revenue. Alongside these efforts\, Teddy has also served as an English teacher at the Thacher School (Ojai\, CA) and Providence Day School (Charlotte\, NC)\, and as a teaching assistant at Princeton University Pace Center for Civic Engagement. \nTeddy earned his B.A. from Hampton University\, M.Div. from Princeton Seminary\, and Ph.D. from Fordham University. Teddy hails from Winston-Salem\, North Carolina and now calls Brooklyn\, New York home with his wife\, Briana Gibson Reeves. \nBecka A. Alper is a Senior Researcher at Pew Research Center where she leads surveys exploring American religious identities\, beliefs and practices\, including the views and demographic profile of Jewish Americans and the religiously unaffiliated. Her work is instrumental in shaping the Center’s U.S. religion polls and offering insights into the role of religion in American public life. She has authored major reports analyzing America’s changing religious landscape\, the experiences and views of Jewish Americans\, spiritual beliefs and practices\, what Americans know about religion\, a new way of understanding religious identities in America\, how religion intersects with Americans’ view on the environment\, among many others. Becka holds a doctorate in sociology from Purdue University.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice (Preview)
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Bandits on the Run
DESCRIPTION:BANDITS ON THE RUN are a musical trio comprised of Adrian Blake Enscoe\, Sydney Shepherd\, and Regina Strayhorn\, known for their distinct combination of cello\, guitar\, accordion\, and found-percussion with sophisticated three-part harmonies and rotating lead vocals. The Brooklyn-based outfit sprang from a chance encounter while busking in NYC’s bustling subways and burst onto the national stage in 2019 when their song\, “Love in the Underground\,” was featured on the NPR Tiny Desk Contest’s Top Shelf\, with the esteemed tastemakers at the station proclaiming\, “the band orchestrates a symphony of sound and story through its impressive musicianship and marvelous harmonies.” After recording their 2021 EP\, Now Is The Time\, with producer Ryan Hadlock (Brandi Carlile\, The Lumineers)\, the Bandits took to the screen\, devising a short musical film\, Band At The End Of The World\, commissioned by Prospect Musicals. Since then\, they have continued to explore the nexus of indie-folk music and theatrical storytelling\, composing music for the Netflix animated series\, Storybots\, scoring the movie\, The Same Storm\, adapting several songs from texts by William Shakespeare for a production of As You Like It\, and receiving an NEA grant for a new musical with Prospect Musicals\, all the while touring the globe with appearances at the Cambridge Folk Festival\, Floydfest\, Summerfest Milwaukee\, Americanafest\, F1 Singapore Grand Prix\, Mile of Music\, and the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival. \nBandits on the Run are currently working on the stage musical adaptation of the novel What’s Eating Gilbert Grape in association with MCC Theater\, alongside actor-musician Christopher Sears and Academy Award Nominee Peter Hedges\, who wrote the original book and screenplay.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle Presentation — My Side of the River: A Memoir by Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez  \nElizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez reveals her experience as the U.S. born daughter of immigrants and what happened when\, at fifteen\, her parents were forced back to Mexico in this captivating and tender memoir.  \nBorn to Mexican immigrants south of the Rillito River in Tucson\, Arizona\, Elizabeth had the world at her fingertips. She was preparing to enter her freshman year of high school as the number one student when suddenly\, her own country took away the most important right a child has: the right to have a family.  \nWhen her parents’ visas expired and they were forced to return to Mexico\, Elizabeth was left responsible for her younger brother\, as well as her education. Determined to break the cycle of being a “statistic\,” she knew that even though her parents couldn’t stay\, there was no way she could let go of the opportunities the U.S. could provide. Armed with only her passport and sheer teenage determination\, Elizabeth became what her school would eventually describe as an unaccompanied homeless youth\, one of thousands of underage victims affected by family separation due to broken immigration laws.  \nFor fans of Educated by Tara Westover and The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande\, My Side of the River explores separation\, generational trauma\, and the toll of the American dream. It’s also\, at its core\, a love story between a brother and a sister who\, no matter the cost\, is determined to make the pursuit of her brother’s dreams easier than it was for her.  \nElizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez grew up in Tucson\, AZ\, a daughter of immigrants forced to return to Mexico following complications with their legal status. Despite these tumultuous events\, Elizabeth graduated from High School at the top of her class. In 2018\, she graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Philosophy\, Politics\, & Economics. While studying at Penn\, Elizabeth appeared on NPR’s Latino USA and The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) named her as the Scholar of the year in 2017. Elizabeth was also the recipient of multiple awards and fellowships including the U.S. Department of State Gilman Scholarship Program. She was selected to document her experience abroad in the U.K. as a blogger and video correspondent. Also\, both Harvard and Stanford’s Business Schools selected Elizabeth to participate in their competitive business programs.

SUMMARY:Opera Conservatory: Le nozze di Figaro
DESCRIPTION:It’s a wedding\, and you’re invited! \nA contemporary production of Le Nozze di Figaro reimagines the classic opera in a modern context\, blending traditional elements with innovative staging and design and modern dress Set against a backdrop of a sleek\, minimalist environment\, this production will highlight themes of class struggle and gender dynamics through a contemporary lens. From Figaro and famously sharp banter to the Count’s unsettling attempts to exert power over Susanna\, this production will crackle with wit while lifting up ever-relevant themes of inequality\, consent and agency in relationships\, and gender dynamics. And while no marriage is perfect…that of Mozart’s music and Da Ponte’s text comes exceedingly close in ways brilliant\, bawdy\, and bold (just as Beaumarchais intended back in 1778). This production invigorates Mozart’s masterpiece\, inviting audiences to reflect on its themes within the context of our modern sensibilities. Please join us for this musically sublime tragicomedy exploring life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of upending the patriarchy.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann  \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Erie Insurance Panel: Civic Engagement and Partnership for Community Progress
DESCRIPTION:Civic Engagement and Partnership for Community Progress:\nA glimpse into some bright spots in the snowiest place in America\, along beautiful Lake Erie \nActive civic participation is vital to building stronger\, more resilient communities — and in Erie\, Pennsylvania\, local efforts are demonstrating how meaningful progress can take root through collaboration and shared purpose. In this panel discussion\, experts will explore how educational forums\, philanthropic initiatives\, and cross-sector partnerships are equipping citizens to actively participate in civic life and strengthen the social fabric of their community. Please join the Presenting Sponsor of Week Four\, Erie Insurance\, for this inspiring conversation in alignment with the week’s theme\, The Future of the American Experiment. \nModerator\nJanae Alexander\nInclusion & Belonging Consultant\nErie Insurance Group \nPanelists\nNick Cianci\nDirector of Investments\nHoffman United \nChelsea Oliver\nDirector of Marketing and Community Engagement\nJefferson Educational Society \nDorothy Leemhuis\nSenior Vice President of Actuarial and Chief Actuary\nErie Insurance Group \nNick Cianci \nNick Cianci has served in a leadership role with the Emerging Erie Fund (EEF) since 2022\, chairing the group from 2024 to 2025.

She also serves as the Director of Marketing and Community Engagement at the Jefferson Educational Society (JES). \nChelsea’s dedication has earned her numerous recognitions\, including Corry’s 2019 Volunteer of the Year Award and a spot in the Erie Reader’s 2022 class of 40 Under 40. She is also a 2021 Jefferson Civic Leadership Academy graduate and a 2024 JES Raimy Fellow. \nWhen she’s not working or volunteering\, Chelsea can be found exploring her new neighborhood and the local trails\, relaxing with friends at a brewery\, or reading — most often a memoir — or writing her own. \nDorothy Leemhuis \nDorothy Leemhuis joined Erie Insurance in 2010 as an actuarial analyst. In her current role as Senior Vice President of actuarial and chief actuary\, she directs and oversees the company’s actuarial policies\, programs and activities for personal and commercial lines of business. \nDorothy is a Case Western University alumna with a bachelor’s degree in statistics. She was part of the inaugural graduating class of the Thomas B. Hagen Fellowship Program and a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society. She also serves on the board for CROP Hunger Walk. \nJanae Alexander \nJanae Alexander joined Erie Insurance in 2021 as a Strategic Communications Specialist and now serves as an inclusion and belonging consultant in the Sustainability and Community Development department. She has over a decade of experience in strategic communications\, media relations\, story development and community engagement. \nJanae is an alumna of Gannon University\, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism communications and a master’s degree in strategic communication.

DESCRIPTION:If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers\, ties\, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses… think again. Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced\, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase and a long list of accomplishments including 2 RIAA Gold Certified albums\, over 1.5 million concert tickets sold\, over 1 billion streams on Pandora\, and over 2 million albums sold worldwide. Straight No Chaser is the real deal\, the captivating sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense… and with a sense of humor.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Opera Conservatory: Le nozze di Figaro
DESCRIPTION:It’s a wedding\, and you’re invited! \nA contemporary production of Le Nozze di Figaro reimagines the classic opera in a modern context\, blending traditional elements with innovative staging and design and modern dress Set against a backdrop of a sleek\, minimalist environment\, this production will highlight themes of class struggle and gender dynamics through a contemporary lens. From Figaro and famously sharp banter to the Count’s unsettling attempts to exert power over Susanna\, this production will crackle with wit while lifting up ever-relevant themes of inequality\, consent and agency in relationships\, and gender dynamics. And while no marriage is perfect…that of Mozart’s music and Da Ponte’s text comes exceedingly close in ways brilliant\, bawdy\, and bold (just as Beaumarchais intended back in 1778). This production invigorates Mozart’s masterpiece\, inviting audiences to reflect on its themes within the context of our modern sensibilities. Please join us for this musically sublime tragicomedy exploring life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of upending the patriarchy.

SUMMARY:"Unbecoming: New Works by Yael Braha Created in Shigaraki\, Japan" Exhibition - July 20–August 19
DESCRIPTION:“Unbecoming: New Works by Yael Braha Created in Shigaraki\, Japan” exhibition runs July 20–August 19. Yael Braha designs objects with bold and stylized surface patterns\, which feature optical and geometrical illusions by integrating innovative digital fabrication with traditional ceramic processes. The creative intention is to challenge and expand viewer’s perceptual assumptions when experiencing a minimalist yet complex functional design object. The way that patterns are framed within a form\, where they are cut\, assembled\, and overlapped\, alludes to the process of film editing\, assembling separate but related parts to create a sequence that is larger than the sum of their parts. All work shown has been created during her residency in Shigaraki Japan. This exhibition is generously sponsored by Friends of CVA. Curated by Judy Barie.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann  \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:"Unbecoming: New Works by Yael Braha Created in Shigaraki\, Japan" Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition runs July 20-–August 19. Yael Braha designs objects with bold and stylized surface patterns\, which feature optical and geometrical illusions by integrating innovative digital fabrication with traditional ceramic processes. The creative intention is to challenge and expand viewer’s perceptual assumptions when experiencing a minimalist yet complex functional design object. The way that patterns are framed within a form\, where they are cut\, assembled\, and overlapped\, alludes to the process of film editing\, assembling separate but related parts to create a sequence that is larger than the sum of their parts. All work shown has been created during her residency in Shigaraki Japan. This exhibition is generously sponsored by Friends of CVA. Curated by Judy Barie.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann  \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:CHQ Mystic Heart: Mateo Mortellaro
DESCRIPTION:Taking a general and non-sectarian approach to Buddhism\, Mateo Mortellaro (Konchok Tsering Tengye) has years of experience leading meditation and teaching Buddhist philosophy. Mateo started his spiritual journey early in life practicing Zen Buddhism\, eventually shifting focus to the Tibetan tradition\, primarily within the Drikung \,Kagyu and Sakya schools. \nMateo’s main teacher is His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche\, the world-renowned Buddhist master and Yogi. While his main practice and personal approach is of the Buddhist tradition\, Mateo also follows the rich and eclectic teachings of Baba Ram Dass\, giving instructions using language and methods that are accessible to Western students of all levels of experience.\nMateo has been fortunate to receive teachings and instructions directly from masters such as H.H the Sakya Gongma Trichen Rinpoche\,H.E Garchen Rinpoche\, H.E Bardor Tulku Rinpoche\, and Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche. Other influential teachers include His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama\, Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh\, and Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. \nMateo is also the founder of KTT Dharma\, which is aimed at making spiritual teachings available to those interested through media sharing\, interviews\, his writing\, and teachings.

Other influential teachers include His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama\, Ven.

SUMMARY:Marcella Kanfer Rolnick & Mark Smucker
DESCRIPTION:Continuing Chautauqua’s weeklong exploration of “Innovation in Capitalism: How to Meet 21st-Century Challenges?\,” leaders of two storied American companies come into conversation to explore the phenomenon of multi-generational family leadership and the impact of family businesses on the economy and capitalism. Marcella Kanfer Rolnick and Mark Smucker are top executives at GOJO Industries\, Inc.\, and The J.M. Smucker Company\, respectively. In this conversation\, GOJO and Smucker will serve as two case study companies that have survived and thrived for decades — GOJO since 1946 and Smucker since 1897. Informed by the experiences of these two successful companies and the insights of their family-led leaders\, we’ll explore what it will take to succeed in the private sector over the next 75 years. \nAs executive chair and the third generation of family leadership of GOJO Industries\, Inc.\, Marcella Kanfer Rolnick focuses on vision-setting\, long-term strategy\, sound governance\, and stewardship of the family values and culture that have propelled GOJO to success. Keys to that success: always seeking possibilities for making the world better; working on the forefront of new thinking and innovation; being adaptable in a fast-changing world; team-based co-creation; and non-stop learning. \nMarcella was Vice Chair of GOJO from 2007 to May 2018\, when she became executive chair. Previously\, she worked in several areas of GOJO\, including production\, R&D\, market research\, and market development. Marcella helped lead the launch of Purell Hand Sanitizer in the consumer market and then established the company’s initial e-business capability and digital strategy in the late 1990s. Outside of GOJO\, she had early- and mid-career roles within a consulting firm\, a multi-media publisher\, and a boutique investment company. She also co-leads Walnut Ridge\, a family office that supports the business\, investment\, non-profit philanthropic and family goals\, and activities of the Kanfer family. \nMarcella serves on a wide variety of nonprofit and for-profit boards\, including the Advisory Board of the Fowler Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit at Case Western Reserve University\, Lippman Kanfer Family Foundation\, and Lippman Kanfer Foundation for Living Torah\, which she chairs. She earned her MBA from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business and her B.A. from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs.  \nMark Smucker is only the sixth CEO in The J.M. Smucker Company’s 127-plus-year history; he also serves as chair of the company’s board. Under his leadership\, Smucker has strengthened the company’s position as a leading manufacturer of beloved products while expanding its role as a world-class marketer of popular brands across growth categories. This success has allowed the company to enhance its partnerships with leading retailers\, meet the evolving needs of consumers\, and increase value for shareholders. \nInspired by Mark’s devotion to being relentlessly consumer-focused\, Smucker has adopted a stronger concentration on agility to meet emerging needs. This is reflected in the company’s investment in data analysis and market intelligence to better predict consumer behavior; corporate strategy\, to identify new growth opportunities; and insights and sales\, to expand distribution and ensure its products are conveniently available to consumers. As Smucker has grown\, Mark has championed and evolved the culture\, guided by the Company’s Basic Beliefs and Our Commitment to Each Other\, that instills pride in employees while creating a positive\, exciting atmosphere to attract new talent. \nIn addition to its leadership as a business and employer\, Smucker has enhanced its position as a responsible organization. Mark has built upon the company’s rich history of corporate responsibility by championing sustainable practices\, a commitment to responsible sourcing\, and a passion for supporting the communities in which Smucker operates.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:CHQ Mystic Heart: Mateo Mortellaro
DESCRIPTION:Taking a general and non-sectarian approach to Buddhism\, Mateo Mortellaro (Konchok Tsering Tengye) has years of experience leading meditation and teaching Buddhist philosophy. Mateo started his spiritual journey early in life practicing Zen Buddhism\, eventually shifting focus to the Tibetan tradition\, primarily within the Drikung \,Kagyu and Sakya schools. \nMateo’s main teacher is His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche\, the world-renowned Buddhist master and Yogi. While his main practice and personal approach is of the Buddhist tradition\, Mateo also follows the rich and eclectic teachings of Baba Ram Dass\, giving instructions using language and methods that are accessible to Western students of all levels of experience.\nMateo has been fortunate to receive teachings and instructions directly from masters such as H.H the Sakya Gongma Trichen Rinpoche\,H.E Garchen Rinpoche\, H.E Bardor Tulku Rinpoche\, and Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche. Other influential teachers include His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama\, Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh\, and Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. \nMateo is also the founder of KTT Dharma\, which is aimed at making spiritual teachings available to those interested through media sharing\, interviews\, his writing\, and teachings.

He joins Chautauqua’s week on “Innovation in Capitalism: How to Respond to 21st-Century Challenges?” with an examination of financial markets — particularly how recent years have seen much different results than what market watchers might have typically expected\, and what that says for the immediate and long-term future. \nDesai’s areas of expertise include tax policy\, international finance\, and corporate finance\, and his academic publications have appeared in leading economics\, finance and law journals. His work has emphasized the appropriate design of tax policy in a globalized setting\, the links between corporate governance and taxation\, and the internal capital markets of multinational firms. His research has been cited in The Economist\, BusinessWeek\, The New York Times and several other publications. He is a research associate in the National Bureau of Economic Research’s Public Economics and Corporate Finance Programs\, and served as the co-director of the NBER’s India program. \nDesai’s general interest publications include opinion pieces on varied topics\, including tax policy and the effects of globalization on domestic welfare\, in The Washington Post\, The Wall Street Journal\, Tax Notes and The New York Times. He has also written for practitioners in the Harvard Business Reviewon the role of the global CFO\, on how to reform the U.S. tax system\, and how changing incentive systems have contributed to the degradation of American competitiveness. He has testified several times to Congressional bodies\, including most recently to the Senate Finance Committee on corporate tax reform and inversions.

SUMMARY:"Intersections & Diversions" Exhibition - July 23–August 20
DESCRIPTION:These works interrogate the ways in which humans use the grid to build\, organize\, and connect. Using a range of both rigid and pliable materials\, they suggest growth and imply the metaphorical repeating of patterns. A softness balances the collective gridwork structures through curves\, glitches\, and loose threads. From circuit boards to city streets\, we can find connections between acts of mapping\, protecting\, and testing boundaries. Curated by Erika Diamond.  \nArtists: Paolo Arao\, Thomas Campbell\, Lisa Corinne Davis\, Kimberly English\, Adam Grinovich\, Peter Christian Johnson\, Erica Lord\, Ellen Ramsey\, Jayoung Yoon

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

A softness balances the collective gridwork structures through curves\, glitches\, and loose threads. From circuit boards to city streets\, we can find connections between acts of mapping\, protecting\, and testing boundaries. Curated by Erika Diamond.  \nArtists: Paolo Arao\, Thomas Campbell\, Lisa Corinne Davis\, Kimberly English\, Adam Grinovich\, Peter Christian Johnson\, Erica Lord\, Ellen Ramsey\, Jayoung Yoon

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:CHQ Mystic Heart: Mateo Mortellaro

SUMMARY:Cat Bohannon
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle Presentation — Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution by Cat Bohannon \nHow did the female body drive 200 million years of human evolution? Why do women live longer than men? Why are women more likely to get Alzheimer’s? Why do girls score better at every academic subject than boys until puberty\, when suddenly their scores plummet? Is sexism useful for evolution? And why\, seriously why\, do women have to sweat through our sheets every night when we hit menopause?  \nThese questions are producing some truly exciting science – and in Eve\, with boundless curiosity and sharp wit\, Cat Bohannon covers the past 200 million years to explain the specific science behind the development of the female sex: “We need a kind of user’s manual for the female mammal. A no-nonsense\, hard-hitting\, seriously researched (but readable) account of what we are. How female bodies evolved\, how they work\, what it really means to biologically be a woman. Something that would rewrite the story of womanhood. This book is that story. We must put the female body in the picture. If we don’t\, it’s not just feminism that’s compromised. Modern medicine\, neurobiology\, paleoanthropology\, even evolutionary biology all takes a hit when we ignore the fact that half of us have breasts. So\, it’s time we talk about breasts. Breasts\, and blood\, and fat\, and vaginas\, and wombs—all of it. How they came to be and how we live with them now\, no matter how weird or hilarious the truth is.”  \nEve is not only a sweeping revision of human history\, it’s an urgent and necessary corrective for a world that has focused primarily on the male body for far too long. Picking up where Sapiens left off\, Eve will completely change what you think you know about evolution and why Homo sapiens has become such a successful and dominant species.  \nCat Bohannon is a researcher and author with a Ph.D. from Columbia University in the evolution of narrative and cognition. Her essays and poems have appeared in Scientific American\, Mind\, Science Magazine\, The Best American Nonrequired Reading\, The Georgia Review\, The Story Collider\, and Poets Against the War. She lives with her family in Seattle.

SUMMARY:CHQ Mystic Heart: Mateo Mortellaro
DESCRIPTION:Taking a general and non-sectarian approach to Buddhism\, Mateo Mortellaro (Konchok Tsering Tengye) has years of experience leading meditation and teaching Buddhist philosophy. Mateo started his spiritual journey early in life practicing Zen Buddhism\, eventually shifting focus to the Tibetan tradition\, primarily within the Drikung \,Kagyu and Sakya schools. \nMateo’s main teacher is His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche\, the world-renowned Buddhist master and Yogi. While his main practice and personal approach is of the Buddhist tradition\, Mateo also follows the rich and eclectic teachings of Baba Ram Dass\, giving instructions using language and methods that are accessible to Western students of all levels of experience.\nMateo has been fortunate to receive teachings and instructions directly from masters such as H.H the Sakya Gongma Trichen Rinpoche\,H.E Garchen Rinpoche\, H.E Bardor Tulku Rinpoche\, and Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche. Other influential teachers include His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama\, Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh\, and Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. \nMateo is also the founder of KTT Dharma\, which is aimed at making spiritual teachings available to those interested through media sharing\, interviews\, his writing\, and teachings.

SUMMARY:Young Writers' Institute Final Performance and Reading
DESCRIPTION:Join Chautauqua Literary Arts to celebrate the work completed by our young writers at Chautauqua this Friday. Participants will have the chance to perform a reading of their works in their forthcoming book! \nBook-in-a-Day (BID) is a new fun-filled\, hands-on literacy project that teaches kids the fundamentals of creative writing\, through poetry and book publication. This innovative educational program fosters literacy skills through a groundbreaking writing and publishing workshop\, which focuses on student-run publication—in one day. In this one-week program\, students learn how to write a well-crafted poem\, or piece of prose\, and how to publish their own work for public consumption. The full BID program is comprised of two days of writing workshops\, two days of publishing workshops\, and a performance party to celebrate and share the work of all participants. Kwame Alexander will kick off each day with motivational thoughts and poetic inspiration. His superstar friends\, Nikki Shannon Smith and Ann Marie Stephens\, both published authors and retired teachers\, will be the writing coaches for the workshops. They will receive a physical copy of the book of their shared work by the end of the summer (following Week Nine of Chautauqua’s summer assembly season).

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents Execution of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Written and Directed by Emily Mann \nIt’s 1978\, and San Francisco is a divided city. The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation.  \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.
