Actors wanted
Ron Potter, formerly of Perryopolis, is a photographer with a pet project and he’d like some help from us. Ron wants to produce a small film of Faith Willson and Jay Christopher’s play, “To Secure This Land.” Ron is in search of local folks, young and old, who would act in the film. This would be on a volunteer basis and there is no pay involved. Ron plans to include local history and film at other locations in the Fayette County area, including Perryopolis’ historic sites and Fort Necessity. Anyone interested in assisting in this project may call Ron Potter at 412-264-8096.
