The New Old Time Chautauqua Tour

OK Theater in Enterprise is hosting a special event - The New Old Time Chautauqua's 2017!
This one of a kind vaudeville extravaganza features locally and internationally-acclaimed talent. The Flying Karamazov Brothers will wow you with their hilarious juggling and theatrics; magician Joey Pipia’s marvel-packed illusions will leave you astonished; hula hooper extraordinaire Vanessa Vortex astounds with coordination and grace; and the Pipia Sisters delight with whimsical songs on dueling tubas.

Acrobatics and dancing, hat tricks and mime, stilt-walkers and musicians and more - all backed up by the rousing live music and zany wisecracks by the Fighting Instruments of Karma Marching Chamber Band/Orchestra, playing music ranging from marches and sambas to New Orleans Jazz.

Kick off Friday’s events with a celebratory parade at 12:00 pm. Led by a 20-piece marching band, jugglers, stilt-walkers, and hula hoopers, the parade will start at the Enterprise High School parking lot and end at Wallowa County Courthouse. Members of the community are welcome to join the parade. Wear a costume or come as you are!
