Fred Pickett

Fred is pictured in the middle with Bo Ryan (left) and Jim Vankoski (right) in a picture I took at the Boys & Girls Club Summer 2013.

We lost a legendary coach and one of the nicest people I knew. Always friendly to me sharing a warm welcoming hug whenever I saw him. You will be missed. Rest in Peace.

Children's Theatre for a Good Cause


Odysseus, played by Viraga Perera, falls under the spell of the enchantress, Circe, played by Sara Hufnagle.
Widener’s FreshBaked Theatre Company to Perform “The Odyssey,” Homer’s Classic Adventure, for Young Audiences
   
CHESTER, Pa. - Widener University’s FreshBaked Theatre Company will present “The Odyssey” on two consecutive Sundays, November 9 and 16, at 2 p.m. The company will also host special matinee performances for local schools and homeschooling families in addition to the general public on Monday, Nov. 10 at 1 p.m. and Friday, Nov. 14 at 10 a.m. All performances take place in Alumni Auditorium, located on Widener’s Main Campus in Chester, Pa. The play is recommended for ages 8 and up and families. Running time is 55 minutes.

Reservations are required for schools and groups, but not for individuals. To make a reservation, contact Director Lisa Eckley Cocchiarale at ljcocchiarale@mail.widener.edu.

Admission to all performances of “The Odyssey” is by free will cash donation, with all funds benefiting community aid organizations in Chester. The suggested donation is $2 per person.

“When the battle was over, there were few of us left to celebrate our victory. And after ten years of fighting, we didn’t feel much like celebrating anyway. We were tired and we wanted to go home!”

So starts this creative adaptation of Homer’s classic – and timeless – account of the aftermath of war and the harrowing journey of a hero and his faithful crew. Along the way, Odysseus and his mates encounter tests of wisdom, bravery and humility as they struggle to reach their home across the tumultuous sea. They meet a one-eyed cyclops, sirens, lotus eaters, the enchantress Circe, the monster Scylla, the whirlpool Charybdis and the oracle Tiresias as they journey to overcome their personal demons.

Conceived and written by Creative Educational Systems, “The Odyssey” is an engaging, spirited exploration for young audiences of  honor, bravery, self-doubt, sacrifice, loyalty and the discovery that “being a hero isn’t all trumpets and flag-waving. There's more to it than winning battles and covering yourself with glory.”

“The Odyssey” features Widener University students Luis Aguilar, Sarah Hufnagle, Autumn Heisler, Joann Klein, Carolyn Lodge, Viraga Perera, Kirk Reichart and Lizzy Yenser. It is directed by Lisa Eckley Cocchiarale with technical direction by Daniel Castagna.
