ON THE MAIN STAGE — Enchanted Hills Playhouse strives for quality entertainment. In doing so, it picks some of the hottest yet wholesome plays that have ever been on the stage. Pictured is the cast from the musical “Grease,” which was performed in the 1985 season. This season’s plays are sure to please audiences as much as last season’s did.

Enchanted Hills Playhouse provides fine stage production

Enchanted Hills Playhouse has been a part of the Syracuse-Wawasee area for over 20 years now, providing some of the finest stage productions in Northern Indiana. Jill Stover, present owner, has played an important role in the playhouse’s continued success since her purchase of it nearly eight years ago. Since that time, Stover has made several changes. In 1980 she incorporated a Children’s Theatre into the guild. Originally, these plays were performed by the same actors that were on the Main Stage. This year, however, Stover has planned to have two entirely different casts. Another change for this season will also include an increase in the number of plays performed in the Children’s Theatre. There will now be eight plays to run during the months of June and July. For the convenience of parents, Stover has scheduled the plays to run on consecutive Saturdays. Performance times will be 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. This year’s Children’s Theatre schedule will include “Winnie The Pooh,” “Charlotte’s Webb,” “Cinderella,” “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” “Wind In The Willows,” “Repunzel,” “Beauty And The Beast, ” and “The Princess And The Pea. ” The Children’s Theater will again tour the schools in the Syracuse-Wawasee area so that children who may never have seen a play will have the opportunity to experience a live play first-hand. As with the Children’s Theatre, the Main Stage has increased its 1986 season to include seven productions. Starting off the season in June will be the play, “The Rainmaker.” Following will be “Annie Get Your Gun,” “Dames At Sea,” “Mame,” “Little Shop Os Horrors,” “Guys And Dolls,” and “Barefoot In The Park.” Directors for this season will include some familiar names as well as several new ones. Artistic director will again be Jeffrey Kope. Kope, a professor at Indiana University in On the Main Stage, Stover expects no less from her guild. Each play has been picked

Milford Motors is now in one convenient location

Milford Motors, which is now incorporated, has moved its sales and service departments to one location, just south of Milford on SR 15. Dick Casto, owner, states, “We will be breaking ground this month to build our new body shop, which should be finished this spring.” He says the body shop will be a great asset to the company because employees will be able to put four cars in the shop at a time. This will allow better and faster service to customers. The additional three acres, which was bought and blacktopped, provides room for a fine display of vehicles. Casto says he is proud to state that Milford Motors Inc. is still the largest used car dealer in Kosciusko County. He also still has a full line of livestock trailers, some of

for its unique value in the entertainment field. While some of the plays for this season will be veterans on Broadway, several of the others she has chosen have only recently made their debut, and are currently running, on Broadway. The Children’s Theatre provides these mini-programs to the schools at no cost. Last year it performed at 17 schools and hopes that it will accomplish as many during this season. Its goal is to educate children by allowing them to experience wholesome entertainment. South Bend, has been with the playhouse since 1980. A newcomer to Enchanted Hills, but not to the area, will be Rich Biever, musical director. Biever, a native of Nappanee, is presently a senior majoring in music at Indiana University at South Bend. Unlike past year’s, Enchanted Hills has contracted a guest director to grace the company. Chosen was Jennifer Stock, a New York director. She will be directing the play “Little Shop Os Horrors,” which is currently on Broadway. Unlike its title, “Little Shop Os Horrors” is far from frightening. The play, which is about a giant man-eating plant, is a parody with music set to a 60s beat. Enchanted Hills will be the first in Northern Indiana to perform this play. Enchanted Hills Playhouse strives to provide the community with exciting entertainment, whether it been through traditional plays such as “Annie Get Your Gun” or through the hottest plays on Broadway like “Dames At Sea.” But, the playhouse qiaintains its position in providing family entertainment on both the Main Stage and Children’s Theatre. Therefore, viewers will never see suggestive or avant-garde performances on its stage. Stover insists that if viewers are looking for that type of material, they can go to New York for it. She is here to provide what the community has asked for — wholesome entertainment.

which are on display at his old sales location a few blocks north in Milford. “Sales have continued very good in 1985, with over 875 units sold,” relates Casto. “We credit our high volume of sales to our service after the sale. With our efforts to please our customers continuing, I expect 1986 to be our biggest volume year yet.” “We-’ve been fortunate the last two years to get one and two-year-old factory executive cars,” He adds. “Many of these have the balance of factory warranty left. These are excellent vehicles on which we can offer very good prices.” Milford Motors Inc. employs 12 people and does not experience much employee turnover. Three more employees will be added soon to staff the new body shop.
