Hanover: May 2009 Archives

As it turns out, many of my friends are involved in some local theater productions in the coming week or two.

My friend Adam Jones is one of the leads in "Lend Me A Tenor" at the Hanover Little Theater, 360 Blooming Grove Road. Shows are 8 p.m. May 7, 8, 9 and 14, 15, 16. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the Readers' Cafe, 125 Broadway in Hanover, or by calling 630-2524

Adam is a professionally trained actor who's done tons of shows in New York City - and we're lucky enough to have him back in the area, so definitely go see him.

Another friend, Dan Stief, co-runs an arts group called OrangeMite Studios, which, among its other endeavors, stages theater performances at "The Barn" in Dover Township.

They've got a production of "As You Like It" coming May 15 and 16, with a Renaissance Fair-like set of events included.

Details from their poster below:

Both Adam and Dan went to Dover High with me, and they're both exceptionally talented - much more so than I am!

If you plan to attend either of these productions, let me know, because I'd like to go and would like someone to go WITH!

Does that post title give you any idea how I spent my day off this week?

On Wednesday, one of our days off together, Hubby and I decided to take a drive into Adams County. Not to do anything in particular; just because we almost never head west when we travel.

I loved seeing rural Adams County! We looked at the monuments in Gettysburg a little bit, then wound our way around Biglerville, Orrtanna, Cashtown and some other towns.

I love small towns, and I especially loved getting to see the somewhat famous (and possibly haunted) Cashtown Inn.

But guess what? Couldn't go in. It was closed.

As was the somewhat well known Biglerville Country Store.

So was a neat little bookstore in Gettysburg that Hubby wanted to show me.

Oh, and the wonderful roadside fruit stands that dot the landscape in both Adams and York counties? Nope. No fruit on Wednesdays, it seems, at least not there.

Hubby is the one who suggested this post title. And while it fits, I would like to say that I had a good time seeing the sights in our neighboring county to the west. Definitely a good day trip.
