Big Top Chautauqua: "The Mountains Call My Name"
to
Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua Ski Hill Road, Bayfield, Wisconsin 54814
Join the Blue Canvas Orchestra for their musical portrayal of John Muir, founder of the national park system and the Sierra Club. Mount Ashwabay and the towering pines around the tent prove an ideal setting for the stories of Muir, a Scottish-born Wisconsin resident for much of his early life. Written by American Folklore Theatre co-founder Frederick “Doc” Heide, the show has been adapted by Tom Mitchell who plays Muir, and our Musical Director Ed Willett who leads the BCO in a selection of songs that celebrate the natural wonders Muir encountered and wrote about in his travels. Photography and film of his travels will be illuminated on the big screen, curated by our Visuals Director Betty Ferris.
