Saturday, September 14 at History Alive!

Young Chautauquan Anthony Booth as Chief Justice Earl Warren
Attorney, Veteran, Politician, Governor, Vice Presidential candidate, Judge, Supreme Court Justice, and Investigator. Anthony Booth, a senior at Grand Junction High School, will revisit a few of the Warren Court’s landmark decisions and chart the judicial activism that shaped interpretations during the 1950s and 1960s.

The Grand Valley History Players

Kathy Applebee as Zelda Fitzgerald
Zelda Fitzgerald, dubbed the original flapper by her novelist husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald, was his muse, the darling of the Jazz Age, a ballerina, painter, and writer. She struggled with a tempestuous marriage, mental illness, and the changing times.

Angeline Roles as Minnie Pearl
The wholesomeness of poodle skirts and letter jackets gave way to war and protests during the late 1960s and early 70s. With a career spanning over 60 years, one female entertainer carried her fans through it all with laughter and love. Few know of her dream and training as a Shakespearean actress, which morphed into the reality of one of the Grand Ole Opry’s most beloved comedians. Sarah Colley-Cannon, aka Minnie Pearl, reflects on her life after finally winning Country Music’s most acclaimed CMA award.

Marjorie Deese as Bea Arthur
Bea Arthur is known for her portrayal of Maude and Dorothy Zbornak, but where was she before then? The pre-television years of her life will be presented on the Chautauqua stage by Marjorie Deese.

Professional Chautauquan Larry Bounds presents Walter Cronkite
Walter Cronkite became the most popular network television anchorman of the Sixties. In fact, the term “anchorman” was originated for him. As such, he was personally involved with all the most significant news event of this turbulent time in America’s history. Look into the presidential elections, assassinations, Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, the space race, and even the arrival of The Beatles and there you will find Walter Cronkite’s face and voice telling America the way it was.

In tonight’s program, he will share many of his most interesting stories and also answer your questions about a most unique and honored career in journalism. All from the newsman who was voted “The Most Trusted Man in America.”

This evening at History Alive! Colorado West Chautauqua

6:30 pm Young Chautauquan Performance
Woodie Guthrie presented by Kai Symons
Creator of more than 1000 songs, Woody Guthrie never abandoned his Oklahoma roots nor his respect for the downtrodden. Haunted by the tragedies of his and others’ personal lives, he became a guitar and harmonica playing spokesman with his words and music. Kai Symons, a sophomore at Palisade High School, will enlighten you with stories behind “This Land Is Your Land,” and Guthrie’s legacy of social activism through folk music.

7:00 pm Julia Child presented by Karen Vuranch
Tonight, we will go back in time… but not too far back. In the 1960s there was a woman who changed the way that we ate. Julia Child’s television show, The French Chef, was the first successful TV cooking show and paved the way for a new era of food in America. Her joy of life and enthusiasm and sense of humor took the mystery out of cooking and taught us that all of us can cook. But, she also worked to bring respect to the culinary profession in America. Tonight, we are all audience members at a taping of The French Chef.
Please welcome… Julia Child.

8:00 pm Walt Disney presented by David Skipper
“It’s Anything Can Happen Day,” Mouseketeers!
Join Walter Elias Disney as he takes you on a nostalgic journey into the magic and creative world of yesterday’s tomorrow. Walt will share comic insights into his childhood experiences, as an ambulance driver in World War I, and the failures and successes that shaped and prepared him as one of the 20th Century’s greatest storytellers. Disney’s World spanned the dreamer’s continuum of animation, live action films, and theme parks that inspire a brighter future for the world of tomorrow.

Walt will share observations into the birth of Mickey Mouse and discuss the production of some of his greatest achievements such as Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, Disneyland, audio animatronics and Mary Poppins. He will also discuss the World’s Fair of 1964, innovations that inspired The Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT), urban planning and space travel. … See MoreSee Less
