Penn Manor Thespians To Stage “Noises Off” By Dayna M. Reidenouer
“A play within a play” is how director Carole Shellenberger described the concept behind “Noises Off,” the latest play to be produced by Penn Manor Productions. “Our actors are actually playing two characters,” she explained. “Noises Off ” was written by Michael Frayn and will be produced with permission from Samuel French Inc. It relates the production of a fictional play, “Nothing On,” at three stages in the process. Act I takes place at a rehearsal - whether technical or dress, the actors cannot decide. The second act reveals what goes on behind the scenes, and Act 3 is the final performance, which goes terribly wrong. “Noises Off ” is a farce, so while all of that happens, there are love triangles, missed connections, slammed doors, miscommunication,
and - hopefully - plenty of laughs. “It’s been two years of really dark plays, and it’s time to lighten things up,” said assistant director Melissa Mintzer. “Part of the joke is ‘Nothing On’ isn’t that funny even though it’s trying to be funny,” said True Herbert, who will portray Garry Lejeune, who plays Roger Tramplemain. “It’s OK to laugh (at the hijinks on stage),” remarked Alex Anderson, who is one of the only Penn Manor actors to be cast as just one character, director Lloyd Dallas. “I want (the audiences) to have a good time, like we are on stage,” added Leilani Torres, who will fill the roles of Dotty Otley and her character, Mrs. Clackett. In addition to learning what amounts to two sets of lines, the Penn Manor actors have had to learn to speak with British accents for their “Nothing On” characters. They have See Noises Off pg 7

The uniform of the Penn Manor Marching Unit is so stunning that even the higher-ups of marching band
supplier DeMoulin were impressed. When the latest product catalog was produced, Penn Manor’s uniform was the first in the book. “We’re in the catalog that goes out to See Marching Unit pg 4
The response to the archery hunts scheduled for Pequea Township’s Silver Mine Park, 200 Silver Mine Road, Conestoga, was predominantly positive. However, as a result of a legal challenge, the hunt was canceled, and all participants’ entry fees were refunded. Hunters may rejoice, though, as another hunt has been scheduled and a new permitting process has been established. The hunt will be held during the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s late archery season on Wednesday, Dec. 26, through Saturday, Jan. 12, 2019. See Archery Hunts pg 7
