New One-Act Play "Access"
Access by Rev. Geoff Kohler
Friday, May 17 & Saturday, May 18 at 7pm 
The Trust Performing Arts Center on Market Street
Lancaster, PA 
 
"Access" is a new, one-act play by Geoff Kohler about people who have differences on faith, sexuality and hope, but who must live and deal with each other. Two performances will be held on May 17 & 18 at The Trust Performing Arts Center on Market Street. Ticket prices are $15 and are available at www.lancastertrust.com.
 
Rev. Geoff Kohler of Lancaster wrote "Access" because he wanted to explore the story of a middle-aged, Christian woman who leases an apartment to a pleasant, young woman whom she later discovers is a lesbian. Along with the son of the landlady, the two, are thrust into making personal choices, as they blend with legitimate, legal rights. An opportunity for a brief discussion between the actors and the audience will be available at the end of each performance.

Reverend Dr. Larry Chottiner is to speak at the annual Reunion of The Donegal Society-an organization dedicated to preserving the history of our areas' Scots-Irish settlers. The meeting is on Thursday afternoon, June 13, followed by a delicious dinner at Donegal Church outside of Mount Joy. Dr. Chottiner will be giving a talk entitled "It Matters: Discerning the Times" - a look at history's impact on our present day but also on the way it impacts the future.
 
Larry Chottiner was senior Minister of the Highland Presbyterian Church, as well as serving many others over the years. He is retired and a member of Donegal Presbytery. The program will also include a soloist, and a bagpiper will entertain on the beautiful grounds of the Donegal Presbyterian church.
