The theatre, Fishing Creek Playhouse and Dinner Theatre, opens to the public with its first Broadway musical April 2, 2010.

It will take a number of years to complete the massive Agrarian Country project, which will encompass approximately 1,800 acres, and will teach visitors about the backbone of Pennsylvania culture and life--agriculture!
The planned complex will feature the relocated "Star Barn," a Heritage Arts Center, other relocated historical Pennsylvania buildings, important agricultural equipment from bygone days, and much more.

FISHING CREEK PLAYHOUSE AND DINNER THEATRE
One facet of Agrarian Country's Heritage Arts Center that will come to life this Friday night is the debut of Fishing Creek Playhouse and Dinner Theatre. This weekend will be your opportunity to enjoy one of the longest-running musicals from Broadway, performed by the new professional non profit, non-equity theatre.

THE NEW HERITAGE ARTS CENTER:
The Center will be Agrarian Country's first fully-operational educational center and will include a large multi-interest museum, 400-seat dinner theater and restaurant as well as facilities for educational programs in the arts, portraying our agricultural heritage, legacy, and culture. This facility will take approximately two years to complete. A short-term initiative under the Heritage Arts Center purview is the establishment of Agrarian Country’s Fishing Creek Playhouse and Dinner Theater.

Agrarian Country has leased a facility in northern York County off the Fishing reek Exit (Exit 36) along Interstate-83. This location will host the 2010 season beginning with Oklahoma!
Earlier this year, Fishing Creek Playhouse presented a special agricultural-related Broadway review at the 2010 Pennsylvania Farm Show. The show, "Broadway, Down on the Farm," was performed four times daily in the main exhibition building. Farm Show executives stated it was a huge hit and brought thousands of people to the show.

STARS Project

Congruent with the Agrarian Country's educational mandate, the organization has launched their youth educational program called, STARS. Targeted toward 3rd to 12th graders, STARS will focus on the performing arts.

ABOUT AGRARIAN COUNTRY:

Agrarian Country is a nonprofit organization, established to preserve Pennsylvania farmland and farm buildings and to provide a place where people of all ages can visit and participate in the operation of numerous agricultural enterprises in a real-life farm setting. One of the most visible projects is the rescue and eventual restoration of one of Pennsylvania's treasures: The Star Barn.

Through farmland preservation and hands-on agricultural educational activities, Agrarian Country hopes to rekindle interest in America’s agricultural heritage and a self-sufficient way of life, to promote wholesome, moral, and healthy living, and provide a refreshing escape from everyday stresses.

Agrarian Country is investing today to benefit future generations. Agrarian Country will have three centers:

  • Center for Agricultural Enterprises
  • Center for Agricultural Education
  • Center for Agricultural Tourism.
The historic Star Barn will serve as Agrarian Country's Agricultural Education and Exhibition Center. To learn more about Pennsylvania's famous Star Barn, including a video and photographs, Click Here.

Cornwall Iron Furnace Bed and Breakfast Hershey

Minutes from Annville Inn Bed & Breakfast is Cornwall, site of the nation's only surviving completely intact charcoal fueled iron making furnace. The historical buildings are a wonder of architecture, constructed of locally quarried brownstone. We are posting a few photographs to pique your interest.



The site is also the location of one of the nation's largest iron ore mining facilities, in operation until 1972 when the mines flooded and Bethlehem Steel shut down operations. Nearby is a housing area that makes one feel they have been transported to England. The original charcoal mill, mine, and other operations originated with a settler from England, and later transferred to the Coleman family, which built up vast fortunes. The Coleman empire included enormous mansions throughout our area, and into Lancaster, many churches constructed of brownstone, and railroads.

Our favorite Rails to Trails project is along a railroad bed once owned by the Coleman empire.

The Cornwall Iron Furnace, part of a National Historic Landmark District, is America’s most complete charcoal fueled iron making complex. According to Robert Vogel of the Smithsonian Institution, “With the exception of a mere handful of similar preservations in Sweden and Germany — and possibly a few in eastern Europe — I doubt that elsewhere in the world is there a 19th century iron furnace complex with the degree of historical integrity to be found at Cornwall…”

Cornwall Furnace is indeed a unique survivor of the early American iron industry. Originally built by Peter Grubb in 1742, the furnace underwent extensive renovations in 1856-57 under its subsequent owners, the Coleman family, and closed in 1883. It is this mid-19th century iron making complex which survives today.

At Cornwall, furnace, blast equipment, and related buildings still stand as they did over a century ago. Here visitors can explore the rambling Gothic Revival buildings where cannons, stoves, and pig iron were cast, and where men labored day and night to satisfy the furnace’s appetite for charcoal, limestone, and iron ore.

Cornwall Iron Furnace is part of a National Historic Landmark District by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It has also been designated a National Historical Landmark by the American Society of Metals, and a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, citing Cornwall Furnace as “the only one of America’s hundreds of 19th century charcoal fueled blast furnaces to survive fully intact.”

Stay at Annville Inn Bed & Breakfast and explore the area around Cornwall. Here are some of our favorite sites regarding the Furnace:


  • Cornwall Iron Furnace complex
  • Mansion at Cornwall Manor, adjacent to the Furnace
  • The miner's village, a step out of the pages of English history
  • The Blue Bird Inn, one of the oldest restaurants continuously operating in the U.S.A. This restaurant is in the country, all by itself, and has had a remarkable restoration and expansion this past winter. Wonderful outdoor decks. Being in the country, when you eat on the deck, you aren't looking at industrial sites across the street; you are instead enjoying wide open countryside.
  • Rails to Trails--an excellent, well maintained trail that grows yearly. It is now extensive, running from Elizabethtown, Pa. to Lebanon, Pa. There is a trail head marked by a giant "root beer barrel" the size of a one-room house, which serves as an info center. You pass right by it on the way to the Furnace. ALL SEASON: Great for cross country skiing.
  • Alden Place shops, located in the carriage house of one of America's grand mansions, built by famed "guilded age" architect Stanford White. The mansion is not open to the public, but the carriage house is. As of this writing, the Buzz Coffee shop is closed, but we hear a new one is moving in to take its place. Beautiful outdoor deck to enjoy an espresso before heading to the Rails to Trails project.

Cherry Blossom Festival, Washington,DC Hershey PA B&B


Cherry Blossom Festival Opens Today in Washington, DC.

The Cherry Blossom Festival continues through April 11th, so you have plenty of time. Earlier the better, though!

Travel through our area, see Hershey, Pa., stay at Annville Inn Bed and Breakfast, and then have a casual, relaxed drive of a couple of hours to Washington and the Cherry Blossom Festival.

Never been to Washington, D.C. before? Your innkeeper, Rosalie George, is a native of Washington and can guide both new and seasoned visitors. Living in DC, one seldom encounters a "native Washingtonian," but Rosalie is, and is an excellent guide. Rosalie and Craig both worked in DC and the surrounding area for nearly two decades before moving to Annville, PA to purchase General Kendall's home and lovingly convert it into a five-star bed and breakfast.


We can help you plan your trip to Washington; we can make well informed suggestions of what to see, where to park, how to move about and not get lost, where to eat, best times to see the targets on your "must see" list, and much more.

Rosalie, every day, offers concierge service to our guests for the Hershey area. Hershey attractions, what to see, when to see it, where to dine, making reservations for meals, where to go for hiking, boating, tennis, bicycling, golfing--you name it. Now, with Cherry Blossom time in full swing in DC, she can also help you plan your trip in that city.


When you plan your SPRING TIME IN HERSHEY---SPRING TIME IN WASHINGTON adventure, we can even make well informed bed and breakfast suggestions for DC!

And with the cherry blossoms about to open, Washington is poised for today's {Saturday, March 27th} start of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, marking the 98th anniversary of the arrival of the trees from Japan .
On Thursday, the National Park Service hosted a festival preview on the shore of the Tidal Basin, where officials said that the two-week festival is the biggest recurring tourism event for the city and the National Park Service.

The peak bloom is expected to be April 1 through April 4, with the blooming period from March 28 through April 9. Of course, this is not 100% predictable, as Mother Nature is always a little "cagey" on such matters.

During the preview, officials of the U.S. Park Service, U.S. Park Police and the blossom festival were on hand to welcome visitors to the festival's various walks, talks, and other events. They were joined by the great-grandson of first lady Helen H. Taft, who planted the first tree nearly a century ago. Click here for Festival details.
"It's just amazing to see the transformation from the snows this year to spring awakening and the blossoms coming out," said John Piltzecker, superintendent of the U.S. National Park Service's National Mall and Memorial Parks. "This is the time everyone comes out. . . This is the time. Come out from winter. Come down to the Tidal basin, or out to Hains Point, and enjoy Washington D.C."

TSO has sold more than seven million copies of its first four rock operas -- 1996's CHRISTMAS EVE & OTHER STORIES, 1998's THE CHRISTMAS ATTIC, BEETHOVEN'S LAST NIGHT in 2000 and 2004's THE LOST CHRISTMAS EVE.

The Moody Blues




For the first time ever, the legendary Moody Blues—Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Graeme Edge— bring their signature symphonic rock to Lancaster's American Music Theatre.

The Moody Blues’ dreamy, orchestral sound is ingrained in America’s consciousness, and their songs have been featured everywhere from countless TV commercials, an episode of the Simpsons, and even inspiring a theme park ride.

Their many hits are artistic, poignant, yet still have a wide appeal. Come for an evening of music you’ll remember, featuring: “Nights in White Satin,” “ Tuesday Afternoon,” “ In Your Wildest Dreams,” “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere,” “I’m Just a Singer in a Rock’ N’ Roll Band,” “ The Story in Your Eyes,” “ Question,” “Isn’t Life Strange,” and many more.

If you have never been to a Moody Blues concert, you just cannot imagine what you are missing. It is a MUST at least once in your lifetime. If you have been to a concert, then you know you must get to American Music Theatre March 27th.

IF YOU CANNOT GO, don't despair! You can also catch them the day before in Washington, D.C. at DAR Constitution Hall. When we lived in the Washington, DC area, Craig and one of our friends from London, Glenn, never missed The Moodies whenever they were in the area, and still strive to see them wherever they play. Their last tour, Hershey Theatre hosted the Moody Blues to a sold out crowd. Even after all these years, the Moody Blues continue to consistently sell out every venue in which they play.

Justin Hayward is arguably one of the most accomplished living guitar players. If nothing else, you must go to hear him!


Of course, "dyed in the wool" Moody Blues fans surely miss some members of the original band that have retired (such as Ray Thomas, [Pictured Here in 1972] famous for his flute work and as a founder of the Moodie Blues plus remarkable oratory on "Knights", and vocals in all their original albums) but their music lives on.

Springtime In The Park













2010 Springtime In The Park
Friday - Sunday - April 2, 3 & 4

Saturday & Sunday - April 10 & 11


A certain sign of spring in these parts! Springtime In The Park signals the start of another exciting year at Hersheypark! We've had over 54" of snow this winter. Certainly many of our upcoming guests this April have "cabin fever" and are looking to get out of the house and do something fun!


Nothing's better than a trip to Annville Inn Bed & Breakfast and Hersheypark, The Hershey Story museum, Hershey Gardens, the Antique Automobile Club of America museum--the only Smithsonian Affiliate museum in Hershey, Indian Echo Caverns, Hershey's Chocolate World, the Hershey Trolley, Hershey Theatre and so much more!

During Springtime In The Park, put the chill of winter behind you and preview the coming summer fun with dozens of rides, live entertainment, strolling Hershey’s characters and excitement around every corner!

New! Usually Springtime In The Park is one weekend, but this year it is two weekends. Now, if you have something happening one weekend at home, you still have another weekend to go out and enjoy the seasonal fun opportunity. Springtime in the Park falls over Easter this year, so why not make it a weekend with a 2 or 3-day visit to Hersheypark?

Of course, if we've learned anything this winter, we've learned you never know what Mother Nature will send our way! Obviously then, this early spring outdoor extravaganza is "weather permitting. " Rides, particularly the roller coasters, may be subject to late openings and/or early closures in the event of unseasonably cold temperatures. Regardless, you will have a great time giving "Old Man Winter" his official 'send-off' at Springtime In The Park!

Look Back: Rock Musical Aida Just Closed at LVC
Where: Lebanon Valley College's Leedy Theatre
When: February
Who: Wig and Buckle, LVC's theatre company

Behind the Scenes of Aida
by Lebanon Valley College

Fans of the theater have been enjoying a different style of acting in Lebanon Valley College's (LVC’s) Leedy Theater this February. Wig and Buckle, the theater company on campus, will present their spring musical Aida. Originally a Disney Theatrical Production, Aida was born from Elton John and Tim Rice, and ran on Broadway from 2000-2004.

Aida, known as a rock musical, is a vastly different style from what Wig and Buckle has done in the past. Just last season, the company was performing the Pirates of Penzance and Oklahoma the year prior.

“In the past we’ve done very classic style theater, and now we’re preparing a rock opera. It’s totally unlike anything Wig and Buckle has done before,” says director Sean Deffley. “Aida is Elton John, which is modern and consists of pop music, but it is refreshing to get something new.”

Typically members of the theater will turn to other performances done on Broadway or in other college theaters for ideas and understanding. However, Aida has been done by very few colleges. Because of this, Sean chose to make the production more historically accurate, focusing on the classical aspect and working to create what Egypt looked like at the time.

To make the musical a reality, it took a large crew of around 60 individuals. In addition to Deffley, his stage manager and acting crew, there were numerous behind the scenes personnel. The technical crew consisted of individuals working on sets, props, lighting, sound and costumes. All of these areas worked together throughout the process to make Aida a cohesive musical.
This year Wig and Buckle took a different approach to the costumes.

Typically the theater company rents costumes from a larger college or a company that deals with theatrical clothing, but this year the decision was made to create all of the costumes in house. With 26 individuals in the show and each one having approximately three different outfits, it was quite the process.

“Children of the Night” has become the name for the technical crew, as often long hours were needed to make the production a success. Individuals working on set design, props, etc., came in during the day to continue their work, but often were forced to wait until rehearsal was over at 10 p.m. each evening to get their various tasks done.

Junior Casey Edwards has led the tech crew since last year and admits that she never used a power tool before she began to help in the theater. As the leader, Casey begins the process of creating the sets and props by developing a blue print of each scene, giving a bird’s eye view of everything planned. She then meets with the director to gather input and continues to evolve her designs, striving to make it different from other productions. Then comes the building, painting, lighting and sound work for the weeks leading up to opening night.

“It can be stressful, but opening night makes it all worth it because you see all you were able to accomplish in a short period of time,” says Casey.

Time is a valuable commodity for the musical each year as the crew has 1-2 weeks less production time than the other plays throughout the year because of winter break. To help with this, Wig and Buckle members give up a week of their winter break and commit to coming back the week before classes begin to get a jump start on production. During that week, members work 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Despite having less time, the company is able to double their work that extra week with over 85 hours of effort put in.

“The musical is a titanic amount of work,” said Wig and Buckle advisor Dr. Pry. “Everyone is so willing to give their time considering the timeframe is so strict. The theater doesn’t have large areas to work and create pieces, so there’s a lot of tech work going on while rehearsal is taking place. The students work around classes and other schedules to make this all happen. It’s a scheduling challenge, but it teaches the students that time is the most precious commodity in the theater.”

Everything for the production is done by the students, from learning scenes to teaching choreography to constructing scenes, and so on. Numerous colleges require students to take part in the musical for credit, but that’s not the case at LVC. The students involved come from a variety of different majors. The company also does not recruit students or simply use all theater majors. They are all what Dr. Pry calls “walk ons.” With a long tradition of theater excellence, Dr. Pry says that it speaks to the talent of LVC’s student body. “It’s all on their own,” said Dr. Pry. “I may teach, guide, or model them, but they have to enforce the standards of excellence on one another.”

Annville Inn Bed & Breakfast is a strong supporter of Lebanon Valley College. We urge everyone in the community, and our guests, to enjoy activities at LVC.
