$20Please join the artists of Future Prairie as we dance our way into the new year, drawing from our histories, calling on our past, dredging up what we want to carry forward and honoring what we are ready and wiling to leave behind.

Our show is inspired by the chautauquas of the 19th and early 20th centuries, where people from all walks of life came together to experience education, entertainment, and culture for the whole community, with speakers, teachers, musicians, and entertainers.
BYOB
Why is it $20? That’s a great question, and we’re so glad you asked. We are working towards a unique business model where we pay all of our artists much more than industry standard. We believe art is important for a healthy and happy community. We have a vision of all artists getting paid for their time. We hope you will consider supporting this dream by attending our show!
