Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center Presents Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel Landmark of American musical theatre, June 17-19 & 24-26 

(Photo provided with release)

(Midland, Pa.)  Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center, located in Midland, Pennsylvania, is presenting Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel. The show opens June 17th and runs June 18, 19 and 24-26.  

Voted the best musical of the 20th century by Time Magazine, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel is a giant in musical theatre. This haunting love story about a tragic anti-hero, and the wife and child he leaves behind, features some of the most powerful music ever written for the stage. Declared to be his favorite by composer Richard Rodgers, this magical and majestic classic embodies both the grey areas of life and the Golden Age of Broadway. Show stopping numbers include stalwarts of American music such as “If I Loved You,” “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and “June is Bustin’ Out All Over”. 

“Originally opening on Broadway in April of 1945, just five months before the end of World War  II, Carousel served as a beautiful story of hope, loss, and the power of love for audiences who at the time  were still reeling from the enormous losses of the Second Great War,” observed Justin Fortunato, Producing  Artistic Director of Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center. “With everything going on in the world today, and  the seemingly insurmountable darkness that can encroach, this show continues to be a place where  audiences and artists alike are reminded that no one walks alone in this life. The beauty, loss, and hope in  this show make it an exhilarating experience at the theater.” 

Individual tickets are available now from $18 to $25 by visiting LincolnParkArts.org or calling 724.576.4644. Group experiences are also available by visiting LincolnParkArts.org/Groups

Richland Township Hosting Annual Memorial Day Parade & Ceremony On Monday

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

“This is a traditional Memorial Day service that we’ve had at our post for many, many years; [it] goes back to when I was a kid.”

Bob Schleiden is no longer a kid, but as a member of American Legion Post #548 in Richland Township he still participates heavily in the Memorial Day Festivities. This year’s annual parade and ceremony will be held at the Richland Township Park on Monday, May 30 beginning at 9:45.

“The parade continues to grow,” Schleiden said to Matt Drzik on the May 27 edition of A.M. Beaver County. “It starts off with the Air Force Junior ROTC as the color guards, and we have elements of the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts…and they’re followed by our first responders.” According to Schleiden, the parade also includes antique cars, old war Jeeps, the Pine-Richland marching bad, and horses from Babcock Stables.

Following the parade, a formal ceremony takes place that features patriotic music, awards, presentations, and it culminates with a “Final Roll Call” that honors service members from the area that have been lost to war or have recently passed on as veterans. “It certainly is a moment of healing,” Schleiden said.
