Hey it’s Andrew here - the editor.

Thank you for reading the Lancaster Local!

We’re so excited to keep operating our little newsletter and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for being part of our community.

Whether you’re new here, or a longtime reader, thank you!

You mean the world to us, and we appreciate you.

Here's a fun fact about us: my wife and I run the Lancaster Local together, and we both love plays and musicals. The other night we caught Oklahoma! at the Dutch Apple and absolutely loved it.

We’re going to write our own personal reviews of local productions around Lancaster County.

I know a lot of you really love theater and musicals, especially, so hopefully this is a nice little treat for you. Keep an eye out for our first review coming in the near future!

Thanks for reading the Local.

- Andrew

P.S - What’s up with the weather recently? Kinda crazy how all over the place it is. Stay warm (or cool, depending on when you read this).
