and from 7 to 8:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Aug. 18, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. “This show is so sweet, joyful and playful, with funny dialogue and catchy orchestrations, that we decided it would be a great opportunity to showcase SALT talent from different age groups. So we are giving each cast a weekend to perform the show,” explained Lauren McComas, SALT president and artistic director. “Although it’s the same script for all three casts, each gang displays a slightly different take of (the play).” She pointed out that two siblings and a father/daughter team are playing the same character in different shows. Snoopy is being played in the children’s cast by Addison Kunsch, and her father, Kurt Kunsch, is playing Snoopy in the adult cast. Also, two brothers are playing Schroeder - Dylan Zangwill in the teenage cast and Zane Zangwill in the children’s cast. See SALT Performing Arts pg 6

Mary Bauer, founder of Lucky Dawg, explained that she was contacted in January by a social worker at the Coatesville Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center about a homeless veteran and his dog, which needed help. “The veteran did not want to leave his dog, and he needed a place for his dog See Animal Rescue pg 2
