"TOTfitdSairSffi front something, so I tried out for a part,” said Ryan Weaver. “I have been a part of the Civic Theatre for four years now. I have always loved acting. It’s a lot of fun and you get to meet new people.” "The Elves and the Shoemaker” is the delightful story about Lockhart Cobblestone, a shoemaker played by Dan Slabaugh, who has a kind heart, but little money in his pocket.
