	THE FULTON OPERA HOUSE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!		TWO ACTS, SAME GREAT PLAY--AGAIN

	Milton Hershey, The Play, is finally coming to Lancaster! A cancellation by the Lancaster Symphony made this possible, so we moved right in. This is the shortest time between shows for us--only 10 weeks! During Friday evening's show, there will be the annual Downtown fireworks in Lancaster. But the real fireworks will take place on the Fulton stage. The beautiful Fulton. June 27-29, 2003
					The Play became two acts earlier this year. After the long bathroom lines in Hershey, we will shorten the first act, so the Play will be cut right down the middle, with each act being about the same length. We just get better with age! Visit our Gallery page for more pictures from the Hershey show.

	PERSONNEL NEWS Joining the cast of The Play is Suzanne Garvey, the wife of Dave Garvey, who will play Mrs. Copenhaver, as well as handle props; Michael Sanchez will understudy Mr. Copenhaver for one of the shows (Mike also did the photographer for two of the Hershey shows); Bud Ealy will understudy Lebbie Lebkicher for one show, as well as well lead understudy again for Elder Mr. Hershey.

				WE'LL MISS YOU Due to other commitments, we will be missing several members of our cast and crew for this show: Jean Price; Arvard Brown and Sebastian Moyer, and their Mommies Mary and Leslie, respectively. Thanks for all of your love and support!
				AND FINALLY... When the curtain falls after the Sunday matinee, The Play may be taking a long hiatus, at least in Central Pennsylvania. After the Fulton shows, over nearly 20,000 people will have seen The Play since its debut in January 2001.
