Live reenactment of the 1777 battle on the actual land that it occurred with both armies in period clothing, arms and cannons.
A site of historic Importance…
On September 11, 1777, approximately 26,000 men met in battle on the hills of BIRMINGHAM TOWNSHIP in Chester County. It was the largest land battle of the Revolutionary War, which included two future presidents.
The fighting was furious, with substantial losses on both sides. Although the Continental forces fought hard, by day’s end they were forced to retreat. However, their intensity of purpose fortified their resolve and lead to the ultimate American victory at Yorktown.
A once-in-a-lifetime event…
The last reenactment at this historic site occurred over 80 years ago. It is rare that reenactments take place on the actual site of battle, as here at Sandy Hollow, where hundreds of soldiers from both armies were wounded and died on this truly hollowed ground.

An Elder Justice Day is being presented by the Chester County Elder Abuse Task Force on Wednesday, May 21 at Westminster Presbyterian Church, West Chester from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.

            “This program is open to the public but any organization that works with seniors, such as staff members of senior centers and continuing care facilities, are encouraged to attend,” said Wanda Stonebraker, director of the Chester County Department of Aging Services.

            The topics to be covered include guardianship, information on the Attorney General’s office, scams, power of attorney, understanding the court system and the Chester County Department of Aging Services.

             Those wishing to attend should call 610-344-6035 by May 2, 2014 to reserve a spot.

            The Elder Abuse Task Force began in Chester County in 2007 and consists of members of law enforcement, the District Attorney’s office, private attorneys and personnel from the banking industry and the Chester County Department of Aging. The task force’s mission is to facilitate and develop expertise in prosecuting elder abuse; train professionals such as bank staff and medical personnel to identify and report cases of potential fraud and abuse; and educate the public about elder abuse, and how to prevent and report it.

 Chester County is the first county in Pennsylvania to initiate a strategic planning process and has a Aaa rating on its bonds from Moody’s Investors Service as well as AAA ratings from Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings.  Established by William Penn as one of Pennsylvania’s three original counties, Chester County has been named by Forbes.com as one of America’s best places to raise a family and is ranked the healthiest county in Pennsylvania by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.

The national tour of the Broadway musical MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, inspired by the electrifying true story, will appear at the DuPont Theatre in Wilmington, Delaware for eight (8) performances only, from May 27 through June 1, 2014. Note starting times differ for weekdays and weekend.

The international Tony® Award-Winning musical, Million Dollar Quartet is set on December 4, 1956, when an auspicious twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together. Sam Phillips, the “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll” who was responsible for launching the careers of each icon, gathered the four legendary musicians at the Sun Records storefront studio in Memphis for the first and only time. The resulting evening became known as one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll jam sessions in history.

MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal, humorous banter and celebrations featuring timeless hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “That’s All Right,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “I Walk the Line,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “See Ya Later, Alligator,” “Fever,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog” and more.

Portraying these icons are, James Barry as Carl Perkins, John Countryman as Jerry Lee Lewis, Tyler K. Hunter as Elvis Presley and Scott Moreau as Johnny Cash. Vince Nappo plays the “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” Sam Phillips.  The cast also features Kelly Lamont as Dyanne, and musicians Patrick Morrow (Fluke, drums) and Corey Kaiser (Jay Perkins, bass). Rounding out the company are: Andrew Frace, Robby Kipferl, Stephanie Lynne Mason, Sean McGibbon, David Sonneborn, and H. Bradley Waters.

The show is directed by Eric Schaeffer and features a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux. The design team includes: Derek McLane (scenic design), Howell Binkley (lighting design), Jane Greenwood (costume design), Kai Harada (sound design) and Chuck Mead (musical arrangements and supervision).

When the Broadway production opened in April 2010, critics and audiences leapt to their feet in unanimous praise. The New York Times called the show, “a buoyant new musical that whips the crowd into a frenzy,” New York Magazine labeled it, “a dazzling raucous spectacle that sounds like a million bucks,” and NY1 called it, “90 minutes of platinum grade entertainment.” The musical continued its successful New York engagement at New World Stages through June 2012.

Performances are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings starting at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday evening performances start at 8 p.m. and Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinees are at 2 pm.  Ticket prices start at $35.  To purchase tickets or for more information about group rates, call the DuPont Theatre Box Office at 302-656-4401 or 800-338-0881 or on the internet, DuPont Theatre site: www.duponttheatre.com.
