Make-A-Wish Truck Convoy Scheduled For Mother’s Day BY CATHY MOLITORIS
The Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Delaware & Susquehanna Valley Mother’s Day Truck Convoy will roll through town on Sunday, May 9. This year’s 100-truck convoy will leave from the Manheim Pennsylvania Auto Auction at 1:30 p.m. and will run a route from Manheim through Mount Joy. “The auto auction will not be open to the public, and we won’t be
having the carnival we usually have, but there are still several ways for people to participate,” said Terry Finch, co-chair of the convoy committee. “We’ll have a livestream on our chapter’s Facebook page, and we’ll post everything also on www.wishcovoy.org. We are also going to have a drive-through chicken dinner pickup at Country Table Restaurant in Mount Joy, which is right along the route.” Preorders are being taken at the event website. See Convoy pg 6
The cast of “Pippin” includes (from left) Gerson Malave, Kayleigh Jarkowsky, Ryan Kimbark and Maddie Ciliento.
Susquehanna Stage To Present “Pippin” hen Susquehanna Stage presents “Pippin” this month, be prepared for anything on stage. “Audiences can expect a broad spectrum of experiences while they watch this show,” said Gerson Malave, who plays the Leading Player. “You’ll see everything from magic on stage to life lessons.” “Pippin” follows the story of the title character and his search for meaning. “It’s about a guy who is trying to find his purpose in life,” explained Ryan Kimbark, who plays Pippin. “He wants to pursue his passion and figure out
W
what he’s going to do and how he fits in.” Kayleigh Jarkowsky, who plays Catherine, said “Pippin” is full of action. “It’s going to be a very visual show,” she remarked. “You’re going to see a lot of magical moments. … You’re going to be on the edge of your seat the whole time.” “Pippin” is Susquehanna Stage’s first production of 2021, and it features a cast of 22 who range in age from 15 to 18, along with one young boy who is 7. For Maddie Ciliento, who plays Fastrada, the show offers a chance to perform for the first time since the pandemic canceled live theater. “The magical aspect of this show is
what drew me to it,” she stated, adding that as a recent high school graduate, she hopes to pursue musical theater as a career. “When you come back to live theater, you don’t want your first show back to be boring. You want to make an impression, and this show does.” Ryan, who is a junior at Lancaster Mennonite High School, said even though he participated in some virtual shows over the past year, he’s excited to get back to performing in front of an audience. “I have missed live theater so much,” he noted. “There is an energy that comes from having a live audience, and that makes it so much fun.” See Pippin pg 7
