This is the Broadway edition.” She noted that this year’s version adds in new characters and songs R118677

derella’ again, we saw this version, which is newer,” said Weaver. This year’s show is being directed by Jessie Sanders, who also directed in 2012. “It’s not repeating a show,” Weaver pointed out. “The revival is vastly different. There are different characters and songs, and the plot is different. There are some fundamental changes.” For example, Prince Topher is a more prominent character. “In ‘Cinderella,’ the enhanced version, the prince is a sort of stock character. In this one, he has his own story arc,” said Weaver. “He is trying to figure out who he is, and (he and Cinderella) find each other. It becomes more about Cinderella helping him find himself, too.” While the musical does not The cast includes (front row, from left) Mia Falcon, Lillianna Stellini, include the prince’s parents, it (back) Ceclia Skoniczin, Mark Conlow, Sienna Brown, Jacob Ignacio, features a new character named Logan Loncaric and Misan Onofomi.

American Legion Donates Backpacks, Sets Upcoming Events BY FRANCINE FULTON
Members of Col. Jacob Morgan American Legion Post 537 in Morgantown recently took part in a community service project, and they have planned several springtime activities. The ladies auxiliary recently donated 150 backpacks full of toiletries and snacks to members of the Pennsylvania National Guard who are stationed in Texas. Legion
member Dave Jakubek from VJ Concrete donated the backpacks that are inscribed with the phrase, “Thank You for Your Service.” “Melissa Seifert, (auxiliar y) president, researched and found out who to send the packages to,” explained Linda Jacobs, post historian. “Each backpack included toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, deodorant and some goodies, like cookies and bags of popcorn, and things they may enjoy.”
“We had so much extra stuff that we piled that into another box, so there were more than just the backpacks,” she added. Donations were provided by Hollywood Casino, Reading Orthodontic Group and Green Valley Dental. Going Postal in Morgantown helped with the cost of shipping the boxes to the National Guard. One of the most popular community events hosted by the post are its chicken barbecues. The next one will
be held the day before Easter Sunday on Saturday, April 4, from 10 a.m. until sold out. The meal includes half of a barbecued chicken, sides and a beverage. The ladies auxiliary will also hold a flower sale starting at 11 a.m. Another chicken barbecue meal will be available on Saturday, May 9, from 10 a.m. until sold out. The auxiliary will sell hanging baskets and potted plants suitable for Mother’s Day gift-giving on the following day.
