WHS Students To Stage “Hello, Dolly!” By Ann Mead Ash
As directors do with all spring musicals featuring high school casts, Deb Kline-Smith, director of Warwick High School’s upcoming musical production, looked for a show that would fit the talents of the student actors, but she was also looking for a show that would be lively. “I was looking for a fun and uplifting show,” said Kline-Smith. “It was time to do something happy and fun, and this show is a lot of fun.” Warwick High School (WHS) will present “Hello, Dolly!” at the school, 301 W. Orange St., Lititz, on Friday and Saturday, March 15 and 16, at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, March 17, at 2 p.m. “Hello, Dolly!” centers around lovable matchmaker Dolly Levi, played by Amelia Fair. The musical follows her return to New York to practice her matchmaking
and heal her own heart. Along the way, Dolly matches up Irene Molloy, played by Lauren Epps, with Cornelius Hackl, played by Caleb Goss, and Barnaby Tucker, played by Noah Johnson, with Minnie Fay, played by Elise White. Dolly also solves the romantic problems plaguing Ermengarde, played by Maddie Grisbacher, and Ambrose Kemper, played by Taylon Madison. In the end, Dolly provides Horace Vandergelder, played by Liam Blevins, with a suitable wife as well. The cast of 45 will also feature Stella Newman as Ernestina, Katie Bender as Mrs. Rose, Andrew McCracken as Rudolph, and Matt Soslow as Stanley. “This show has no controversial issues except love, which has been controversial since the beginning of time,” said Kline-Smith, with a chuckle, lauding her cast members as amazing. “They are excited about doing the show,” she See “Hello, Dolly!” pg 3

Homes Of Hope Program Opens House In Manheim By Ann Mead Ash

With the advent of basic genetic testing available through companies like Ancestry.com and 23andMe.com, a whole new aspect of genealogy has opened up. “There are huge benefits of DNA testing, but they lie in the deeper testing - not the basic ethnicity testing which can reveal relatives,” Martin said. “You can share family trees and see how See Conference pg 6
