One-woman show!
Friends of the Big Bear Valley Library will sponsor the 2018 Old Miners Days Chautauqua,
Saturday, July 21st, at the Big Bear Lake Library. Beginning 2:00 - 3:30 P.M., the annual
historical program features award-winning actress Judith Helton’s portrayal of
Lotta Crabtree.
In 1853, at 6 years old
little Lotta became a child performer, singing, dancing and entertaining in the
mining camps of the gold country of Grass Valley –Nevada City, California. Her fame grew into her being known as Miss Lotta the San Francisco Favorite.
Through Helton’s portrayal of the Gold Rush Days’
performer, Miss Lotta ‘comes alive
before her live audience’ and continues to entertain both, adult and student
audiences, today. The no-charge admission even is open to the public. Early arrival is suggested, as seating is
limited.
The Chautauqua Presentation will be held at th Summit
Christian Fellowship Church 2:00 - 3:30 P.M., at 41965 Garstin Road, across the
