Theater In The Green Outdoor Performances Set For “The Comedy Of Errors” By Dayna M. Reidenouer

The People’s Shakespeare Project will present “The Comedy of Errors” by William Shakespeare in the Tanger Arboretum on the campus of LancasterHistory, 230 N. President Ave., Lancaster. Performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays through Sundays, June 13 to 16 and 20 to 23. “The Comedy of Errors” is thought to be The Bard’s earliest play reminiscent of Roman comedies with plenty of farce, physical humor, and mistaken identities. Director Jeff Wolfthal took inspiration from early 1900s Coney Island for the look of the production. “The Vaudeville style influences not only the fashion of the costumes and set decoration, but also the performance style,”

Wolfthal explained. “We utilize a live Foley artist providing sound effects and lean into the classic Vaudevillian fastpaced slapstick humor.” That style choice has proved to be the most challenging aspect of creating the show, as it is physically demanding. “Slapstick requires a good deal of athleticism and an intense attention to detail, as well as the acting ability to make something that has been rehearsed a million times and timed out meticulously look spontaneous and like it actually hurt,” Wolfthal explained. “Every bit of violence has been planned out not only for the actors’ safety, but so that it times up with our Foley artist and it feels satisfying for the audience. This also makes it the most rewarding aspect: Comedy’s reward doesn’t come until the audience arrives. The laughter makes all the hours of work worth it.” See “The Comedy Of Errors” pg 4

Bringing Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors” to life through The People’s Shakespeare Project are (from left) Griffin Yeyna as Antipholus of Ephesus, Alex Stompoly as Antipholus of Syracuse, Tyler Rossi as Dromio of Ephesus, and Michael Garland as Dromio of Syracuse. Performances will take place on June 13 to 16 and 20 to 23 on the campus of LancasterHistory.

11 Dogs Are Ready For Service Five-O Bingo To Offset Humvee Rehab Costs By Dayna M. Reidenouer

’Tis the season for commencements, but at one recent graduation ceremony, the honorees wore collars instead of caps, and most sported lettered vests instead of gowns. A total of 11 canines graduated from the UDS Service Dogs training program on June 3. This was the largest group ever to complete the program, which prepares dogs to aid folks with physical disabilities or autism or to work as therapy dogs in schools and other institutions. UDS Foundation (UDSF) president and CEO Bill Kepner noted that the program had only five graduates last year. See UDS Service Dogs pg 8

Last fall, the West Hempfield Township Police Department (WHTPD) reported that it acquired a military surplus Humvee transport vehicle from the Defense Logistics Agency’s Law Enforcement Surplus Property Program free of charge. The vehicle is essentially a pickup truck that can be used during storms and other inclement weather and to transport first responders to remote locations inaccessible by roads, and it will serve as a public relations tool. “During any sizable natural disaster or an off-the-grid emergency, this vehicle will be extremely beneficial in See Five-O Bingo pg 5
