Chautauqua TeaEach year, a Chautauqua Tea gathering is held featuring a program of music and readings most often related to the festival topic. The event recreates the atmosphere of a turn-of-the century afternoon tea and a Chautauqua, where traveling companies brought cultural events into rural areas. The 2008 Chautauqua Tea will feature a full tea and musical Chautauqua performance at 2 p.m. June 12, 2008, at Toy Box Catering, 312 W. Main Street, Danville and The Community Arts Center, 401 W. Main Street, Danville. Tea time will be at 2 p.m. at the Toy Box Dining Room and at 3 p.m. in the Community Arts Center, in conjunction with the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Celebration. The Chautauqua program will present a dramatic performance by Angela
Bartley as Mary Todd Lincoln, sponsored by the Kentucky
Humanities Council. Saxton's Cornet Band, an authentic Civil War musical
group, will also be in concert for part of the program at the Community Arts Center.
