Susquehanna Stage To Present “Pippin” hen Susquehanna Stage presents “Pippin” this month, be prepared for anything on stage. “Audiences can expect a broad spectrum of experiences while they watch this show,” said Gerson Malave, who plays the Leading Player. “You’ll see everything from magic on stage to life lessons.” “Pippin” follows the story of the title character and his search for meaning. “It’s about a guy who is trying to find his purpose in life,” explained Ryan Kimbark, who plays Pippin. “He wants to pursue his passion and figure out what he’s going to do and how he fits in.” Kayleigh Jarkowsky, who plays Catherine, said “Pippin” is full of action. “It’s going to be a very visual show,” she remarked. “You’re going to see a lot of magical moments. … You’re going to be on the edge of your seat the whole time.” “Pippin” is Susquehanna Stage’s first production of 2021, and it features a cast of 22 who range in age

There’s so much to see and do in the river towns of Marietta, Columbia and Wrightsville. That’s the message the Susquehanna National Heritage Area (NHA) wants to emphasize through its River Town Bucket List series. The series highlights stores, restaurants and places of interest in the towns. “We started this last year with a bucket list in Columbia, in partnership with our local parks and
recreation committee, as a way to offer activities during the pandemic,” recalled Hope Byers, director of Columbia Crossing River Trails Center, which, along with Zimmerman Center for Heritage, is part of the nonprofit Susquehanna NHA. “It was a selfguided tour, and it offered a bunch of things to do that were outside and were free. It caught on so well, we decided to take it under the Susquehanna NHA umbrella and make a list for all of our river towns.”

from 15 to 18, along with one young boy who is 7. For Maddie Ciliento, who plays Fastrada, the show offers a chance to perform for the first time since the pandemic canceled live theater. “The magical aspect of this show is what drew me to it,” she stated, adding that as a recent high school graduate, she hopes to pursue musical theater as a career. “When you come back to live theater, you don’t want your first show back to be boring. You want to make an impression, and this show does.” Ryan, who is a junior at Lancaster Mennonite High School, said even though he participated in some virtual shows over the past year, he’s excited to get back to performing in front of an audience. “I have missed live theater so much,” he noted. “There is an energy that comes from having a live audience, and that makes it so much fun.”
