Nevada Humanities Chautauqua 2012
Bartley Ranch
June 25, 2012 - June 28, 2012
Many historical characters are popularly seen as either heroes or villains, saints or sinners. The truth is far more complex. In Greek tragedy, the antagonist may have many virtues, but it is a single fatal flaw that destroys him or her. Understanding the complexity and nuanced reality of a person’s life is far more interesting than the labels of good or evil we might apply.
Chautauqua is an entertaining history theater in which audiences have an opportunity to interact with infamous people from the past.
