KCS Presents Leading Ladies
Kenston Center Stage has announced the cast for the fall drama production of “Leading Ladies.” The Kenston production will feature Aron Butler, Julia Fugedy, Kennan Garceau, Megan Herbruck, Alex Hubert, Jack McDonough, Colin Montville, Anna Snyder, Nate Wasinski and Phillip Witmer-Rich.
Ken Ludwig’s “Leading Ladies” is a comedy about two English Shakespearean actors who find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing “Scenes from Shakespeare” on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, Pa., is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren’t nephews, but nieces. Romantic entanglement abound.
Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Kenston High School, Lee Auditorium.
All tickets are $8 and all seats are reserved.
To avoid all ticketing fees, tickets may also be purchased at the entrance to the Bomber Café during lunch blocks beginning Nov. 1. Tickets are also sold one hour prior to curtain, but carry an additional $1 processing fee per ticket.

Auditor Award with Distinction
Kenston’s most recent financial audit by Auditor of State Dave Yost’s office returned a clean audit report. Kenston’s excellent record keeping has earned it the Auditor of State Award with Distinction.
To earn a “clean” audit report and receive an award, school districts must file timely financial reports in the form of a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report; the audit report does not contain any findings for recovery, material citations, material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, single audit findings or questioned costs; and the management letter contains no comments related to ethics referrals, questioned costs less than $10,000, findings for recovery less than $100 and public records or meetings.
