Imagine This! Family Theater Workshop
This event has been cancelled: Ticket buyers please contact the box office for information on ticket exchanges or refunds.
Join Arts in the Open for a fabulous, fun-filled, family-friendly theater workshop on the beautiful grounds of Chautauqua. The young and the young at heart will play side-by-side with our teaching artist as they are led on an imaginative journey where they explore storytelling, character building, and more. No experience necessary, just a willingness to play! Participants should wear clothes that they can move and play in and bring a water bottle and sunscreen! The Workshop will be approximately an hour and a half long.
Arts in the Open fuses nature with the arts and invites our audiences and participants to enjoy the best of what Colorado has to offer. Our events are a healthy option that gets the whole family up and moving. As a Leave No Trace Company, our goal is to educate the public about Colorado trail preservation as well as reach a wide range of audiences and expose them to a variety of theatrical productions and artistic experiences.

The Frog Princess by Patti Murtha
Dating in present times can make you turn green, and the term “dating pool” is just a metaphor, isn’t it? Not when your future spouse is an actual frog who lives in a pond. Most people would be hopping mad at the prospect of marrying an amphibian, but our prince is jumping at the chance to get to know his groovy green gal. Too bad the same can’t be said for his family. Join us on the trail for one of the most ribbit-ing tales ever toad.
Check in and meet at the picnic shelter behind the Chautauqua Auditorium. Our hikes are usually at a moderate level/pace and last no more than 2 hours. When you first arrive, you will be greeted by your hiking guide who will lead the way down the trail to each scene location. Once you arrive at a scene location, you can sit back and relax and watch a scene from the production. Once the scene is complete, we all gather our things and hike to the next location.
During an Arts in the Open production, you will be hiking along a moderate trail. We encourage all audience members to wear proper hiking attire and shoes. We also recommend you bring: Water, snacks, hats, umbrellas, sunscreen, and blankets to sit on and/or lightweight camping chairs. There will be water and granola bars available for a suggested donation.
