SUMMARY:Family Show: Doug Berky
DESCRIPTION:Doug Berky’s NO SHOW \n“NO SHOW” is a comic tapestry woven from physical comedy\, mime\, music\, mask theatre\, clowning\, improvisation\, and circus arts. Doug draws from these vast traditions to delight audiences internationally and across the US. “No Show” begins with the premise that a performance has been scheduled\, the stage is set with props and costumes\, the audience has gathered and is seated and waiting\, but the actors are a no show. What might happen when someone from the audience approaches the stage and discovers all that awaits. Masterful mayhem? Perhaps. Imagine one’s first attempt at riding a unicycle\, the discovery of theatrical masks\, juggling clubs\, and a sousaphone. Can one really keep rhythm juggling shakers while playing classical music on harmonica? Experiencing “No Show” may just satisfy your curiosity.\n

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Festival 2026 - Revolutionary Americans - Paul Robeson
DESCRIPTION:Hear his story in his own words. Born in Princeton\, New Jersey in 1898\, Paul Robeson was the son of a Presbyterian pastor. His mother died in a fire when he was only six years old\, and as a result community members pitched in to help Reverend Robeson raise Paul\, the youngest of five children. In his autobiographical book\, Here I Stand\, Paul wrote: “If I were to try to put down the names of all the folks who helped raise me\, it would read like a roster of Negro Princeton.” Paul was also influenced by the role of music in the Princeton African American community: “Songs of love and longing\, songs of trials and triumphs\, deep-flowing rivers and rollicking brooks\, hymn-song and ragtime ballad\, gospels and blues and the healing comfort to be found in the illimitable sorrow of the spirituals…Yes\, I heard my people singing!” After graduating from Rutgers\, he earned a law degree from Columbia University in 1923 and became part of the intellectual\, cultural and artistic ferment known as the Harlem Renaissance. Like many black artists at the time\, Paul felt his artistry could be a weapon in the fight against racism. Between 1924 and 1925\, Paul’s career\, as both an actor and a singer\, exploded onto the national scene\, but it would be as a singer that Paul would have the artform that best expressed his hopes and beliefs. While living in London from 1927 to 1939\, Paul gained a reputation as “the people’s artist” by dedicating his artistry to the struggle against oppression. In his activism\, Paul was a precursor to the modern day Civil Rights movement. \nMarvin Jefferson (Paul Robeson)  \nMarvin Jefferson has an extensive background as a professional actor/director\, educator and living history scholar. He has devoted many years to studying the lives of Paul Robeson and Martin Luther King\, Jr. Since 1997\, he has engaged audiences across the country with his popular Chautauqua performances of these two important historical figures\, with a particular focus on the Civil Rights issues that were central to the lives of both. His portrayals have also included Louis Armstrong and York\, a member of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Marvin studied acting at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.\nBetween 1981 and 1996\, he was the producer/artistic director and co-founder of the Ensemble Theatre Company. From 1995 to 2018\, he taught acting at Bloomfield College\, a private liberal arts college. He began his training as a Chautauquan with the help and guidance of two nationally renowned scholars\, the late Giles R. Wright and Dr. Clement A. Price. \nBased in Greenville\, SC\, Chautauqua History Comes Alive is interactive theater and the performances offer an astonishing journey into the past allowing the audience to hear stories of the characters in their own words. This year’s character performances are Rebecca Motte (Saturday\, June 13); Paul Robeson (Tuesday\, June 16); Mother Jones (Thursday\, June 18); Captain Henry Felder Saturday\, June 20); and Edgar Allen Poe (Tuesday\, June 23). Doors open one hour before show\, seating is first come\, first served. The Chautauqua Festival at the Transylvania County Library is made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Library.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Festival 2026 - Revolutionary Americans - Rebecca Motte
DESCRIPTION:Hear her story in her own words. A prominent early Patriot supporter\, Rebecca Motte’s wild adventures during the\nBritish siege of Charleston included her later escape upriver to help destroy the British headquarters in her occupied home! Even though reared in a wealthy family\, she suffered the death of her brother in a shipwreck\, the loss of four of her seven children and\, during the war\, the death of her husband Jacob. After the surrender of Charles Town in 1780\, the British commander chose Rebecca’s home on King Street as his headquarters. She then moved her family to Mt. Joseph\, a newly built country home on a commanding hill overlooking the Congaree River. Ironically\, the British soon after decided to seize that home as well because it was near a key supply road and ferry for both armies. Rebecca\, resigned to her fate\, sadly watched as the British moved in nearly 200 soldiers\, turning her new home into a British garrison with deep trenches and massive fortifications. When General Francis Marion (the “Swamp Fox”) and Colonel Henry Lee and their Continental Army troops attacked Fort Motte\, Rebecca aided them in setting her own home on fire to force the British to surrender! \nChris Weatherhead (Rebecca Motte)  \nChris Weatherhead has been a leading actress in film\, television and stage for fifty years. She trained with Brewster Mason of the Royal Shakespeare company (USC\, Irvine and London). She is a writer\, director and producer of nine award-winning films and co-starred\, wrote\, directed and co-produced All For Liberty\, Echoes of Glory\, Heroes from the American Revolution\, The Final Trials of Anne Hutchinson\, Light for Your Journey and John at Patmos\, An Allegory. She also wrote/directed Frederick Douglass\, No Turning Back and John Laurens’ War. She recently co-starred in the thriller Valley of the Horntak. On prime-time television\, Ms. Weatherhead has had numerous guest starring roles including on Dallas\, Our Family Honor\, Moonlighting\, Night Court\, Sinatra (mini-series) and Equal Justice. \nBased in Greenville\, SC\, Chautauqua History Comes Alive is interactive theater and the performances offer an astonishing journey into the past allowing the audience to hear stories of the characters in their own words. This year’s character performances are Rebecca Motte (Saturday\, June 13); Paul Robeson (Tuesday\, June 16); Mother Jones (Thursday\, June 18); Captain Henry Felder Saturday\, June 20); and Edgar Allen Poe (Tuesday\, June 23).

SUMMARY:Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Join us for yoga at the Library!\nClass starts at 9:30 am\, and instructor Clare Desmelik leads the series. Class will take place in the library amphitheater April through November.  We’ll move inside to the Rogow Room during the colder months from December – March. There are no rain dates\, but the porch might be an alternate location for gentle rain.  Yoga is an ancient practice that uses a series of seated and standing body poses held with a focus on the breath and the inner experience.  Yoga is a great mood booster and increases flexibility of mind and body.

She trusts in the power of taking a deep breath\, as well as taking some ‘time in’ to notice and find awareness in the body.  She feels that anyone’s emotional\, physical\, or mental health will benefit from a gentle yoga practice.  It helps reclaim your sense of calm and quiets the mind; it helps you find freedom and courage in your heart; and it allows you to feel strength and poise in your capable body. She has been enjoying teaching yoga in the Brevard and Asheville area since 2016.  She brings an approachable and revitalizing ‘go with the flow’ vibe to her classes\, which are suitable for any and all!   Clare is also the Spanish and Yoga teacher at Mountain Sun Community School\, a full-time advocate for childhood cancer and pediatric brain tumor awareness\, a grateful mom of two awesome boys\, and is often seen with her golden retrievers.

SUMMARY:Noontime Notions - Documenting Biodiversity in the Smokies: What We’ve Found\, What It Means\, and What Comes Next
DESCRIPTION:The Noontime Notions series continues.  The program will begin at noon in the Rogow Room at the Transylvania County Library. Noontime Notions programs feature authors\, performers\, and presenters providing engaging notions for consideration\, enjoyment\, and discovery.   The program is made possible by the Friends of the Library and will last approximately one hour. \nSince 1998\, the small nonprofit Discover Life in America has been documenting life in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Its flagship project\, the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI)\, is based on the bold question: “What if we listed every living thing in the Smokies to better understand just how biodiverse the park actually is?”. Twenty-eight years later\, the ATBI includes over 22\,800 known species. Even more impressive\, over 1000 of those species are completely new to science. Now\, in an era of increased conservation threats like climate change and insect decline\, it’s time to turn this dataset into focused action. This talk will cover the history of this incredible organization\, dive into some of the most fascinating species in the ATBI\, and discuss how this data can transform the way that all of us conserve biodiversity in Southern Appalachia.\n\nSam Rosolina is the Vice President of Applied Innovation at Microbial Insights\, a laboratory focused on the use of bioremediation to address soil and groundwater contamination. He also serves as Board Chair for Discover Life in America\, one of the four nonprofit partners of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Born and raised in northeast Tennessee\, Sam developed an early appreciation for nature and has spent his career working to protect it. He holds a BA from Berea College and a PhD from the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville.\n

SUMMARY:Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Join us for yoga at the Library!\nClass starts at 9:30 am\, and instructor Clare Desmelik leads the series. Class will take place in the library amphitheater April through November.  We’ll move inside to the Rogow Room during the colder months from December – March. There are no rain dates\, but the porch might be an alternate location for gentle rain.  Yoga is an ancient practice that uses a series of seated and standing body poses held with a focus on the breath and the inner experience.  Yoga is a great mood booster and increases flexibility of mind and body. Everyone is welcome!  This class is free and open to all ages and experiences levels.  Pop in for a single class or attend them all. \nBring a yoga mat or towel and water\, and be sure to dress in layers!\nClare Desmelik has been practicing yoga since the early 2000’s and believes it to be a saving grace. She trusts in the power of taking a deep breath\, as well as taking some ‘time in’ to notice and find awareness in the body.  She feels that anyone’s emotional\, physical\, or mental health will benefit from a gentle yoga practice.  It helps reclaim your sense of calm and quiets the mind; it helps you find freedom and courage in your heart; and it allows you to feel strength and poise in your capable body. She has been enjoying teaching yoga in the Brevard and Asheville area since 2016.  She brings an approachable and revitalizing ‘go with the flow’ vibe to her classes\, which are suitable for any and all!   Clare is also the Spanish and Yoga teacher at Mountain Sun Community School\, a full-time advocate for childhood cancer and pediatric brain tumor awareness\, a grateful mom of two awesome boys\, and is often seen with her golden retrievers. She is authentically convinced that ‘Love Heals’ and yoga is all about love.
