PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES SUMMER
STOCK STUDENT PROGRAM
East Farewell – The East Farewell Playhouse announced the
opening of a Summer Stock Theater program designed for young people on
Wednesday. Playhouse owners, Rick and Julie Davidson made the announcement from
the Playhouse lobby. The two have been heavily invested in the community,
especially the younger members since they opened the Playhouse back in 1953.
They have sponsored many events throughout the years that have been focused on
the younger set. Several talented students have come from the different programs,
the most notable is Miss Natalie Mallard who still
lives in East Farewell but has traveled to New York and Philadelphia for
different acting and modeling jobs.
“We are pleased
to announce the beginning of a summer theater program that will produce and
perform two plays this summer. The plays will be the classic Romeo and Juliette
and the very popular Guys and Dolls,” said Julie Davidson standing next to two
new show posters announcing the shows. Local try outs will be held over the
weekend and the process will start after school is finished. The official
opening of the program is set for Saturday June 27th. All the
tryouts will be completed by then and local producer Jed Bernstein will lead
the productions. The plays will be presented around the end of July and the end
of August. This promises to be a wonderful summer in East
Farewell.
SPORTS
TRAVELERS REDEEM THEMSELVES
AGAINST ALBANY
East Farewell – The error prone debacle that took place last
week was only an aberration, thankfully. The Travelers rolled into Albany on
Saturday morning and took the field at 1:00. The team and league record setting
error prone performance from last week was not on their minds. The Travelers
have been playing strong baseball, last week aside, and are currently in second
place in the league standings. The Senators are only in their third year of
play and are still trying to find their footing in the league. They have
enjoyed some success but it has been sporadic and they have had trouble
stringing more than three wins in a row. They were currently riding a two game
win streak and hoped to extend that streak Saturday. That would not be the
case.
The Travelers
started off scoring two runs in the first with four straight hits by Dunham,
Watson, Cloos and Dimero. The defense showed up as the Travelers were able to
turn two double plays and commit no errors. They also were able get back a
little of the base running panache as speedy Billy Sweet was able to steal two
bases creating another run scoring opportunity in the sixth. The Travelers were
able to walk out of Albany with a sound 4-1 victory. It was a very positive
step back from their very shaky previous outing.
The Senators
were able to put up a good defense but the Travelers were just better. Senator’s
slugger, Hap Darrel, was able to smack a long homer in the fourth but Travelers
pitcher, Joey Alfred was sharp, striking out 5 and only allowing 5 hits including
Darrel’s homer. The Senators did not commit any errors either but they were not
able to steal any bases.
The long
Travelers road trip continues next week as they head to Bear Creek and take on
the Cubs. The game is on Saturday beginning at 1:30PM in the Cubs stadium.
