'Romance at the Chautauqua' Melodrama

The Palmer Lake Arts Council has commissioned an original play, which has been written and is now casting, to be performed at Palmer Lake Town Hall the first weekend in October.

The play is titled, “Romance at the Chautauqua” and is written by Colorado Springs-based playwright Richard Sebastian-Coleman.

The play is a melodrama which follows the character Ada Lucille Thompson, the daughter of Palmer Lake founder and first mayor Dr. William Finley Thompson, who in real life mysteriously disappeared in 1891.

Ada was a teen when her father disappeared and not knowing the exact details around it, she has been investigating the disappearance for the past 10 years.
