Synopsis
Ida by Lamplight invites the audience into the office of The Chautauquan, late one night in 1886. Ida Tarbell, managing editor of The Chautauquan, and Kate Kimball, an early leader of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (CLSC) read and answer letters to the nascent CLSC as they survey the profound effect their work is having on thousands of readers across the United States.
