The 2023 Boulder City Chautauqua will kick off at 7:00 PM on Friday with a special multi-media portrayal of Woody Guthrie by Chautauqua scholar/actor Randy Noojin.
Woodrow Wilson Guthrie (July 14, 1912 - October 3, 1967) was an American singer-songwriter, one of the most significant figures in American folk music. His work focused on themes of American socialism and anti-fascism. He inspired several generations both politically and musically with his songs. Guthrie wrote hundreds of country, folk, and children's songs, along with ballads and improvised works. Many of his recorded songs are archived in the Library of Congress. Songwriters who have acknowledged Guthrie as a major influence on their work include Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Pete Seeger, Jerry Garcia, and many more.

2:00 PM Matinee - MAMA CASS ELLIOTT
Ellen Naomi Cohen (September 19, 1941 – July 29, 1974), known professionally as Mama Cass and later on as Cass Elliot, was an American singer and voice actress. She was a member of the singing group The Mamas & the Papas. After the group broke up, Elliot released five solo albums. In 1998, she was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for her work with The Mamas & the Papas.
Elliot was known for her sense of humor and optimism, and was considered by many to be the most charismatic member of The Mamas & the Papas group. Her powerful, distinctive voice was a major factor in their string of hits including: "California Dreamin'", "Monday, Monday", and "Words of Love". She also performed the solo "Dream a Little Dream of Me" which the group recorded in 1968.
Our 2:00 PM Matinee will feature Karen Vuranch as she portrays the legendary Sunshine Pop influencer Mama Cass Elliott.
At 7:00 PM, the exciting finale of the weekend will again feature scholar/actor Randy Noojin, in his moving and provocative portrayal of John Lennon.
