"STEEL MAGNOLIAS" by Robert Harling

This heartwarming yet gripping comedy-drama is about the bond among a group of Southern women in Northwest Louisiana. The action centers around Truvy's beauty parlour and some women who regularly gather there. Come follow the lives of Truvy (Teresa Gilmore), Annelle (Angela Boso), Ouiser (Nancy Wolf), Clariee (Leah Haustman), M'Lynn (Mary Beth Morse), and Shelby (Erin Orr) as they celebrate Shelby's wedding and birth of her son. Be prepared to laugh a lot and maybe shed a tear or two.

Dave Pierce is directing.

The hit game show “Stop, Shop, and Bankroll” has come to town to tape a few segments with its dashing host Benny Sharpe (Lance Angle) and the lovely hostess Loreli Lawless (Michaela Winkleman). As usual the director (Kim Winkleman) is worried about her temperamental stars, but the game is going great until – murder by person or persons unknown disrupts the taping. Fortunately Miss Peabody (Nancy Welling), librarian and amateur sleuth, is present to keep order while awaiting the arrival of the police. Also in our talented cast are Beth Mays, Pam McDowell, Greg Van Dorn, and Laura Zeh.

CONGRATULATIONS to Coleen Davis, the Winner of the Raffle Basket !

PPCT / Toronto High School Musical Fundraiser...Dinner / Theatre At Karaffa Middle School

 

PPCT was delighted to travel to Toronto,Ohio to perform "Forbidden Broadway" as a fundraiser for their upcoming high school musical.It did not take long at all to locate the costumes and then to start working on the vocals. It is remarkable how much you remember of past musical performances. When you hear the music and the beat, it all comes back and all the fun, too. The THS musical will be directed by Rich Coburn.

The Pie Explosion

 

WVFD Homecoming Festival

Yes, after alot of cutting, glueing, searching, and ironing PPCT arrived on time for the Wellsville Parade. Out of 50 plus units, we were #11. Starting at Third Street by Kwik King we walked to the 20th street football field. Participating in the parade were bands, walking units, floats, ambulances, and all those great firetrucks from all around...East Liverpool, Salineville, Irondale, Highlandtown, East Palestine, Saline Township, Leetonia, Glenmoor, just to name a few. Did you get to see SMOKEY the BEAR riding a firetruck? It was great to see all the people lining the streets in support of the firemen. And of course, the experience would not be complete until you tasted the Traditional Firemen's French Fries while listening to a live band, and reaquainting with old friends and making new ones. Then came the loud 'BOOM' at 9:30PM in anticipation of what was about to happen. YES, FIREWORKS ARE BACK IN THE VILLE !!! ooooooooo awwwwwwwwwww they were great! Thanks to everyone who made this a happy day.

Added note : PPCT received 2nd place award in their division. Yahoooooo !

Westgate & Karaffa Schools and PPCT

Recently PPCT traveled to local schools to perform the play "Ms Toad's Mad Adventures". After the play students from East Liverpool and Toronto were able to ask questions of the cast and the director. Also the students had a chance to go behind the scenes to see all the ongoings. It was a very educational experience for all.

WORKDAY at THE LIBERTY

Last week several volunteers spent time sweeping the sidewalk and street in front of the Liberty. Then they ventured inside to the rooms on either side of the main doors. Lots of work was done and lots more to do. Volunteers will be back soon. This is a work in progress.
