The Observation Deck

Ohio Chautauqua 2013 – the 15th annual tour – will be held in Lakewood June 25th through June 29th at Lakewood Park with the incredibly popular theme of When Ohio was the Western Frontier.

Frontier aristocrat, Margaret Blennerhassett
Iroquois leader, Chief John Logan

Each evening’s performance is preceded by a musical program from 6:00pm – 6:50pm. The time period is approximately 1760-1812. Open musical auditions will held at Trinity Lutheran Church, 16400 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, on Wednesday, January 9, 2013 from 6:30PM to 9:00PM and on Saturday, January 12, 2013 from 1:00PM to 4:00PM.

Hello Observers,

Just me again with my daily plug for Ohio Chautauqua. I'd really like to encourage everyone (both solo and group performers are welcome) with vocal or instrumental (or both!) talent to audition to perform under the big red & white tent at Lakewood Park in June.

If you have any questions, please post them here because if you have a question, someone else may be wondering the same thing. Or you can send me a private message.

Looking forward to seeing you at Trinity Lutheran on Wednesday, January 9th or Saturday, January 12th.

Thank you,
Heidi
