That’s A Wrap On The Pinnacle Cup BY CATHY MOLITORIS
About 25 years ago, Dale Treese had an idea. He wanted to develop a match-play charity golf tournament that would benefit local organizations. Thanks to his dedication, the Pinnacle Cup marked its 21st year in June. Now Treese is retiring from the tournament that has raised funds for Camp Ladybug at GEARS in Elizabethtown for years. “This tournament has meant an awful lot to me,” he stated. “It’s been very satisfying to have an event that’s been successful enough to raise funds for worthwhile causes. Working on this tournament has really become a big part of my life.” Treese is stepping down to spend more time with his family, noting that organizing the tournament can be very time-consuming. He’s had a few people inquire about taking the reins, but he’s still weighing those options. Treese noted that when he started his dental practice in
“Cats” will be performed at Susquehanna Stage.

Catch “Cats” On Stage ike Kohler has been busy watching his cat, Jaspurr. He’s doing research to nail the part of Old Deuteronomy in Susquehanna Stage’s upcoming production of “Cats.” “I’ve been observing my boy even more than usual, to catch his reactions and the way he moves,” Kohler explained. He noted that most of the cast members have pet cats, and they are all doing their own at-home surveillance. “Being a cat lover makes this job easier, because

we’re really interested in these characters,” he stated. “Cats” will be performed on select dates from Friday, July 29, through Sunday, Aug. 7, at Susquehanna Stage, 133 W. Market St., Marietta. Based on “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” by T.S. Eliot, the Tony Award-winning musical features songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber. “The show is about a bunch of cats living their lives, trying not to get caught up in the human world,” said Karey Getz, who plays Grizabella. “Grizabella is an outcast. She used to be in, and she wants back in. She’s lived a
hard life, and she just wants to get back in with her friends.” Getz said playing Grizabella is a dream come true, especially getting the chance to sing “Memory,” her character’s standout number. “I’ve been singing this song in my bedroom since age 7,” she said. She has two cats, Cheddar and Asparagus, and she modeled some of her character’s behavior on her elderly cat Nuke, who passed away. Jill Gagliano, who is directing and choreographing the show, said helping the cast get into character has been a unique experience. “This is a high-energy show
with a lot of dancing in a variety of styles,” she stated. “Choreographing jazz or tap for a cat has been a fun challenge.” Gagliano is the owner of two cats, Spartacus and Malcolm, the latter of whom often accompanied his human mom to rehearsals. While many productions of “Cats” are set in a junkyard or city scene, Gagliano chose a different approach. “We’re setting ours locally at the river. You’ll see the Columbia-Wrightsville bridge on stage,” she said, adding that she walked the Northwest River Trail for inspiration.
