Philadelphia 1775: Time to Choose
Cascade Chautauqua Presents
In May of 1775, Dr. Benjamin Franklin returned to his home in
Philadelphia from a ten-year diplomatic assignment in London. He
did everything in his power to avert a civil war between Britain and
her North American colonies. He failed. Upon his arrival, Pennsylvania
appointed him to be a delegate to the Second Continental Congress.
He has been silent for six weeks before addressing the citizens of
Philadelphia on June 27th. You are invited to relive that moment as Dr.
Franklin tells the citizens of Philadelphia why it is now time to choose
sides in the civil war. Franklin scholar Steven Nousen presents this
interactive program in period costume. Audience participation is not
only encouraged, it is essential.

what it isn’t; the positives and negatives of
nostalgia, and whether it says more about

Great American Playwrights

Mondays, 1:00-3:00 p.m.
October 31-December 5
Playwriting is the art form in which the
story is revealed to an audience through
dramatic, comedic and/or musical
interpretation by actors. Since the dawn
of civilization, man has used theatre to
reflect the human/social condition, inspire
thought about social conventions and

the circumstances that contributed to the
unique “voice” of each.

Plato & His World of Forms
Michael McDonald, PhD
Tuesdays, 10:00 a.m.-noon
November 1-December 6
Discover Plato with a Plato scholar! As
a philosopher, Plato is the source of our
notion of archetypes, the original pattern

depth, his influential description of Atlantis
and the Platonic dialogues. Additionally
look at the life and death of Plato’s mentor
Socrates who was both a real person and
a literary creation of Plato and practice
Socratic questioning in class.
Dr. McDonald attended San Diego State
University and the University of Hawaii
where he earned his PhD in 1995. He reads
Greek and is a specialist in Plato and Greek

This course will examine the lives of
two highly influential men who came
from vastly different backgrounds but
were both essential participants in
the founding of our nation. Thomas
Jefferson is well known as the author of
the Declaration of Independence. Lesser

immigrant whose political ideas became
part of our Constitution. We’ll examine
the lives and political ideas of these two
important political figures and how they
continue to influence U.S. politics in the
twenty-first century.

word story with main characters, beginning,
middle & end. The top ten, as chosen by

Beyond Words: Advertising,
Political & Social Media Messages
Ilene Rubenstein, MA
Mondays, 10:00 a.m.-noon
October 31-November 14
9
Become more aware of how language
functions in contemporary culture. Today
we quickly access multiple visuals and
words to make sense of what we read, hear
or see. Being immersed in information
is not the same as comprehending
its messages. Visual and verbal
communication conveys information and
news that allow us to make informed
decisions and develop ideas and opinions.
During our class discussions we will look
at how author, subject and audience
interact in advertising, politics and social
relationships.
For 30 years, Ilene taught literature and
writing courses for teachers at CSU
Northridge. In addition she was the writing
programs coordinator for the CSUN
Learning Resource Center. Ilene later taught
web design and developed online teaching
protocols. Although she officially retired in
2010, Ilene continues to work with students
and faculty in the Tutoring and Academic
Skills Center at College of the Desert. In her
spare time she volunteers at the McCallum
Theatre and for Brandeis University.

Thursdays, 10:00 a.m.-noon

What is Scientology? In a book by that
name, L. Ron Hubbard, the idiosyncratic
founder of the controversial religion,
explains why Scientology is the bridge that
leads “from a lower to a much higher level
of existence...a brighter, happier world."

understand the teachings called Dianetics,
Hubbard's modern science of mental
health.
