Can Plain Truth Triumph over Politics?

After throwing in the towel on his presidential campaign, former Congressman Mark Stedman meets Josiah Stoltzfus – and learns more from the Amish farmer in a few hours than in his many years in office. Stedman believes someone like Josiah should be running the country. Not a career politician, but someone with a little old-fashioned common sense, someone who’s not afraid of rolling up his sleeves and getting his hands dirty. Without Josiah’s knowledge, Stedman introduces him as a write-in candidate and does everything in his power to make sure Josiah gets elected.

The Strasburg-Heisler Library is hosting a special evening of watercolor painting in partnership with the 2020 Longwood Garden Community Read. The theme this year is Weird Plants, celebrating all things weird, wild and wonderful about unusual and bizarre plants from around the globe!

Don't worry, while participation in the community read is totally recommended, it is not necessary to attend this fabulous event! If interested, you can find this year's book selections here.
At the event, guests will explore a variety of watercolor techniques and have the opportunity to paint their own Weird, Wacky and Wild World of plants painting to take home. This special evening event is BYOB (don't forget the glasses!) Light refreshments will be provided compliments of the Strasburg-Heisler Library. All project supplies are provided too.

As an extra bonus, all participants will be entered in a raffle for a chance to win 4 FREE TICKETS to Longwood Gardens!

Your whole family will be rolling in the aisles when Ryan takes the stage with a colorful cast of friends that includes Jeffrey, a witty 8-year old kid and self-proclaimed star of the show; teenager Tiffany, who’s taken with worldly goods; Harold and Irene, who have way more opinions than your average grandparents; and, of course, Ardy the Skunk, who has lots of common “scents” and is always a hit with young and old alike. Expect songs, snappy comebacks and a whole lot of wisdom from an entertaining bunch of dummies.

A brand new show from Ryan & Friends, this lighthearted program combines a comedy routine and song parodies in styles ranging from country to Broadway – all featuring popular comedian, ventriloquist, musician, and all-around funny guy Ryan and, of course, his friends.

Simon and Eliza Yoder were married 50 years ago. Join them in the living room of their Amish farmhouse for a conversation about their plain life – which isn’t always so simple. You’ll laugh as they talk about growing up Amish, working the family farm, learning to drive a buggy…You’ll be captivated by tales of horse and buggy mishaps, rumspringa, living among the “English” and facing difficult decisions. You’ll be moved by their touching love story and universal insights into growing old together. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll be the one who gets a fresh-baked shoofly pie.

An engaging new show from Blue Gate Musicals, the creative team behind The Confession and Half-Stitched, this intimate and interactive experience will entertain, educate, and enlighten anyone who has an interest in Amish culture and the unique lifestyle of “the plain people” of Lancaster County.

Meet the Yoders – and get a plain and simple perspective on life.
