Prepare for some flashbacks as CAST brings Shakespeare’s “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” into the new millennium! This rom-com remix, directed by Billy Lewand, features secret crushes, a slacker dog, arrogant club DJs, mistaken identities, and fashion faux pas.

Lifelong BFFs, Valentine and Proteus, are parted when Valentine goes to Milan to seek his fortune. Although previously skeptical of love, Valentine immediately falls for Sylvia, the Duke of Milan’s daughter. Meanwhile, back in Verona, Valentine’s father orders Proteus to leave his girlfriend, Julia, and go to Milan to retrieve Valentine. Proteus and Valentine’s friendship is put to the test when Proteus also falls in love with Valentine’s fiancé Sylvia! Things really get complicated when Julia, longing for Proteus, throws on a boy disguise, and chases Proteus to Milan to win him back and prove her love is the real deal. 

CAST’s “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” directed by Billy Lewand, features seasoned actors, community players, and those making their stage debut including: Alexis Armstrong, Mikayla Bishop, Andrew Bove, Olivia Gale, Djessy Kungu, Kevin Lee, Ryan Natcharian, Ariana Ortmann, Ian Owens, Gerard Roy, Carl Schultz, Stuart Siegel, and Ashley Skeffington.

Getting my truck cleaned at Maplewood Car Wash

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I opted for the $35 wash which includes all the stuff in the lower level washes plus interior vacuum, windows cleaned, console dusted and door jambs wiped. I figure if I keep up with it it will keep my truck looking new for years and I really like my two year old truck.

Here are some before pictures:

Here is a video of the process and advice from owner Steve Milan:

Some words from owner Steve Milan: So I want to address the belief that a friction car wash damages the car’s paint. My car is 16 years old and has 226,000 miles on it. You seen it today! Second… on my FB post, that you saw, I woman commented that she would rather go to the car wash that is automated, select her wash package choice and put her money into the machine without being pressured into buying any other extra services. At Maplewood Car Wash the Greeter will ask you if you, want an extra service. ( If you go to McDonald’s, and order anything, they will ask you if you want, an apple pie or is that a large size fries or drink. Every business does this, it is called, UP SELLING! Only asking the customer if they want to upgrade,1 time. That is all. The customer just has to say, No Thank you. No reason to feel pressured into buying more. #3..We offer personal service, you talk to an employee when you come in, your vehicle gets PREPPED, before washing, Towel Dried at the end and Satisfaction is Guaranteed. If you are not happy, there is a Manager for you to talk to, and He WILL, make it right for you. Try talking to the machine at the automated car wash and see if it can solve your dissatisfaction. .. YOU WILL NEVER BE LEFT ALONE, at MAPLEWOOD CAR WASH!
