Panida welcomes New Old Time Chautauqua

Steeped in vaudeville and music, chautauquas blend a little bit of learning, laughter and foot-stomping fun. Saturday, you can add fundraiser to the definition as the acclaimed New Old Time Chautauqua will liven up the Panida stage for a fundraising performance for the historic theater. The event, set to begin at 7 p.m., will feature the New Old Time Chautauqua, a group of talented musicians and performers known for their captivating show. The ensemble, true to the spirit of the old-time chautauqua movement, brings together vaudeville, music and laughter in a show that transcends the generations. This will be their third visit to the beautiful Panida. On their first visit in 1989, the group opened the Panida after a long renovation.
