Chautauqua: Albert Einstein
Mixed Ages
Albert Einstein was the most influential physicist of the 20th century, and his ideas fundamentally changed our understanding of the nature of the universe. Einstein was no ordinary international celebrity. Charlie Chaplin once explained to Einstein why the scientist was often welcomed with applause by saying, “They cheer me because they all understand me, and they cheer you because no one understands you.” But, in truth, Einstein was able to make his revolutionary ideas understandable to the most advanced scientists and, albeit to a lesser degree, the general public.

Chautauqua: Josephine Baker
Mixed Ages
Her given name was Freda Josephine McDonald. Her nickname was “Tumpy.” At 13, Tumpy left home to be in the theater. By the time she was 19, she was a veteran of the stage, twice married and the star both of the stage and of high society in Paris. She kept the last name of her second husband, Billy Baker. She had become Josephine Baker.
Josephine Baker loved to be loved. She loved “her people” in the United States and she loved France. She served France during World War II in the Resistance and as a spy. She demanded civil rights for black US citizens and was the only woman to speak at the 1963 March on Washington. She adopted 12 children of various ethnicities, The Rainbow Tribe. She counted presidents, sheiks, princes, dictators and artists as her best friends. She owned a chateau, earned millions and then lost it all. But she never lost the love of her people or her two countries – the US and France.

Chautauqua: Erma Bombeck
Mixed Ages
Erma Bombeck captured with paring-knife-sharp humor the daily life of a new post-WWII American phenomenon: the suburban housewife. Having figured out from her own personal experience that if you can laugh at it you can live with it, she chronicled the housewife’s daily struggles in her column “At Wit’s End” from 1965 to 1996, eventually appearing in more than over 900 newspapers across the country. She also shared both poignant and hilarious observations in 12 books, including the best sellers The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank and If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits? Bombeck brought to American awareness the lives of homemakers whose efforts often felt invisible and taken for granted. Erma poked fun at kids, diets, husbands, housework and, especially, herself. She let women across America know: you are not alone. In fact, we number in the millions. I, too, am an American housewife and I will laugh by your side.

Chautauqua: Lucille Ball
Mixed Ages
In the 1950s, comedienne Lucille Ball captured the hearts of television audiences across the nation. Every week, some 11 million families tuned in to watch I Love Lucy, the CBS sitcom starring Ball and her real-life spouse Desi Arnaz. Her wacky hijinks and fearless enthusiasm kept thousands laughing. Off-screen, she and Arnaz launched their own television studio and pioneered new technologies, building a production empire. But even as her celebrity stature soared, Ball sometimes struggled with the divergence between the onscreen Lucy Ricardo and the real-life woman offscreen. In this historical portrayal, historian and actress Leslie Goddard brings Lucille Ball to life, paying tribute to both the true comic legend and the real woman behind the myth.
