<DIV align=center><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=5><FONT face=Arial size=6>Final Weekend for Harvey </FONT><BR></DIV></FONT>
<DIV align=left> <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><STRONG>Elwood Dowd is a mild mannered man who everyone seems to
like. He is unflappable no matter how things get out of hand. He is
the type of guy that would remind you of your favorite uncle. There is
only one problem about him. It’s his friend, who appears to make everyone
uncomfortable. Harvey is not such a bad fellow if you see him.
That’s pretty impossible though because, well… it seems that Harvey is a six
foot six inch white rabbit who is invisible to everyone except Elwood
Dowd. That’s the problem for everyone but Elwood, who seems perfectly
content to hang around with Harvey, as long as he pays his part of the bar
bill.<BR> The Canal Fulton Players at the UMC
Family Theatre will be presenting this story, aptly named, Harvey,
on 13-14, 16 at the The United Methodist Church of Canal Fulton, 363
West Cherry Street, Canal Fulton, Ohio. The Friday performances will
be at 8:00 pm while Sunday performances will be at 7:00 pm. The
Thursday Performance is at 7:30 pm.<BR> The story,
which was written by Mary Chase, stars Ken Hehmeyer as Elwood Dowd. He is
so proud of Harvey and his good manners that he has to introduce him to everyone
that Elwood’s sister, Veta Simmons, played by Cindy Bagocius, and niece, Myrtle
Mae Simmons, played by Anita Artzner, know. Veta and Myrtle Mae are
anxious to enter society and obtain Myrtle a suitable husband. The best
person to start that endeavor with is the town’s social leader, Mrs. Chauvenet
(Carol Van Gaasbeek). Mrs. Chauvenet has a fondness for Elwood even though
she has not seen him in decades but that fondness turns to horror when she meets
Harvey. They just don’t hit it off.<BR> After
that particular introduction, Veta and Myrtle Mae decide that it is time to
commit Elwood to a sanitarium run by Dr. Chumley (Gary Liknes).
Unfortunately, when Veta goes to see Dr. Chumley, he is not there and she is
interviewed by Dr. Sanderson (Jon Neumann) and Nurse Kelly (Sarah Price), who
make a little mistake in assuming that Veta is the real problem child.
With the assistance of Wilson, the orderly (Tyler Brewer), they begin a process
which really causes a great many problems for Chumley and his wife (Michelle
Niinisto). It takes a considerable period of time to sort things out and
by the time all is put in place, Judge Gaffney (Josh Rowe) is called to put
Elwood into the sanitarium. Except he does not do that because well, you
just will have to come see it for yourself. Remember, if you are not
interested in seeing this play, you could have a practical joke played on you by
a six foot six inch invisible white rabbit, who might be standing right next to
you as you read this particular article. According to Elwood, Harvey is
mischievous. So you might want to come see this play to avoid a
joke.<BR> Admission for this play is $7.00 for
adults and $5.00 for seniors and children under the age of twelve. Harvey
loves children so you can bring them to see him if --well-- they can see
him. For further information, please call David Van Gaasbeek at
330-494-1022 or 330-854-4387. Kathy Devus who has directed this play very
well insists that Harvey is on stage. “He shows up every night for
rehearsal,” she says. The Dramatists Players’ play also stars Drew
Hutchinson, as the taxi driver.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=left>Casting and Directing changes in
Annie<BR></FONT><BR><STRONG><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> Matt King has become the assistant
director for Charles Strouse’s wonderful musical about Little Orphan
Annie, Annie. After seriously discussing the vacancy of Daddy Warbucks,
Matt decided to take the part and assume the position of assistant director so
he can give enough time to develop the part. Producer David Van
Gaasbeek will direct the play and is very pleased and thankful with Matt’s
dedication to the play. “It was a difficult decision for Matt but he
cannot give Daddy Warbucks his due if he is the director. He will be
involved in the decisions concerning the direction of the cast. The girls
who play the orphans are all excited about him shaving his head. Someone
asked me to be Warbucks because I have very little hair left. I considered
it but I cannot sing,” said Mr. Van Gaasbeek.<BR> Cast as that
wonderful little munchkin who stole the hearts of many during the Depression is
Kristina Currans of Apple Creek, Ohio. Kristina has already reminded many
of one of the Players’ veteran actresses, Lisa Van Gaasbeek, who sports high top
sneakers to the knee and a wide variety of bohemian outfits to rehearsal.
When Kristina showed up for the first rehearsal, she had high top sneakers on to
the knee and bohemian dress.<BR> Jackie Piatt plays the
irascible Miss Hannigan, the owner of the orphanage where Annie lives before she
is discovered by Warbucks’ assistant, Grace, who is played by Olivia
Durrell. Olivia hails from Northwest High School. Playing Hannigan’s
son, Rooster, is Bryan Steffee. His henchwoman in crime, Lilly, is being
played by Stacey Pasternack. Drake, the loyal Butler is being played by
Ben Currans and Sandy, the dog, is being played by Ray Olivera.<BR>
Rounding out the Orphans who live and dream with Annie are Gracyn Loper as
Duffy, Hunter Rapp as July, Katelyn Zeitz as Molly, Kenidee Zentiska as Pepper,
Debbie Liknes as Kate, Addi Bair as Tessie, Lisa Gabel, Lauren Stover, Lily
Bair, Xavere Baker, and Emma Canfield. <BR> Rounding out the
adult parts are Mike Groom, Maggie Leatherman, John Steiner, Jena Bair, Jarrod
Hare, Rachel Antal, Duane Acker, Josh Rowe, Tyler Brewer, Rachel Farley, Sabrina
Grebenstein, Heidi Wright, and Brittany Marquardt. “This is a monumental
task and we have a great deal of support for these people as they key in on
Opening Night,” said Mr. Van
Gaasbeek. <BR> The keyboardist is Margie
Metcalf. She will be supported by drummer Brad Palmer. Choreography will
be done by Anita Artzner. The Musical Director will be Jackie Piatt.
<BR> Annie will be performed in the Fellowship Hall Theatre on
June 24-27, 2010. A dinner theatre will be done on June 26,
2010.<BR>Tickets will be $8.00 for adults and $6.00 for seniors and children
under the age of 12. For the dinner theatre, the cost is $18.00 and
$16.00.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

There after turning the St. Helena III around, the audience will be watch the
