The Word on the Street 

The Broadway musical 

Bonnie & Clyde will open at 

Haddonfield Plays & Players on 

Fri Mar 8 and run thru Sat Mar 23. 

haddonfield.today | 3 

If you had a leading role in a 

Broadway musical, what part 

would you play? And why? 

DEBORAH 

GARWOOD of 

Haddonfield says 

she’d like to play the 

title role in ‘Gypsy.’ 

“Ethel Merman had 

such a big voice and 

such a commanding 

stage presence,” says 

Deborah. “A truly 

iconic role.” 

GINA ROMANO of 

Mickelton identifies 

with Roxy Hart in 

‘Chicago.’ “She knew 

how to orchestrate 

a desired outcome,” 

says Gina. “She 

would have made 

a great real estate 

agent.” 

Pittsgrove’s 

NICK VICKERS 

can see himself as 

Jean Valjean in ‘Les 

Miserables.’ “He was 

a good man who did 

what he had to do 

for his family,” says 

Nick. “A truly noble 

character.” 

Pine Hill’s GINA 

COPPOLA didn’t 

hesitate: “I’d play the 

part of Nala in ‘The 

Lion King,’” she says. 

“I loved that little lion 

so much I named my 

first puppy after her. 

A Rottweiler!” 

CARRIE VICKERS of 

Pittsgrove says she 

adored the character 

(Sandy) that Olivia 

Newton-John played 

in ‘Grease.’ “The 

outfits, the hair, the 

music, the lyrics, the 

dancing ... ‘You’re the 

One that I Love!’” 

RYAN PHILLIPS of 

Moorestown says 

he’ll never be a rock 

musician, “so I might 

as well play one on 

Broadway.” Who, 

specifically? “I’d be 

Bruce Springsteen 

in ‘Springsteen on 

Broadway’ or Billy 

Joel in ‘Movin’ Out.’”



Chicago comes to Haddonfield 

› Members of the Memorial High School Drama Club will “Razzle Dazzle” the 

town with their upcoming production of Chicago: Teen Edition. 

The play is a satirical Broadway classic that has fame, fortune, and jazz at its 

core. “A show becomes a classic when the themes can be constantly related to 

today’s age,” says director Ava Kepple. “The students have a different grasp on 

fame now, with media rapidly evolving. Seeing them dissect 1920s Americana, 

tackle the intense style of [choreographer and dancer Bob] Fosse, and belt out 

prominent songs will give the audience a true Broadway experience.” 

Performances are scheduled for Fri Mar 8, Sat Mar 9, Fri Mar 15 and Sat 

Mar 16 at 7:30 p.m. A matinee will be presented at 2pm on Sun Mar 10. 

Tickets – $15 general admission ($12 for students and seniors) – can be 

purchased at hmhsdrama.com.

Planning, zoning, historic 

preservation boards react

As Haddonfield continues the months-long process 

of updating its borough Master Plan, professionals from 

the Philadelphia-based Pennoni consultancy met with 

members of its municipal land use boards to solicit their 

feedback on four key areas of the study. 

At Tuesday night’s special meeting, members of 

the borough Planning and Zoning Boards, Historic 

Preservation Commission, and general public discussed 

how the Haddonfield master plan update will consider 

issues of resiliency, housing diversity, downtown 

economic vitality, and traffic circulation. 

Respectively, those elements concern: 

• The capacity of the borough to withstand the effects 

of climate change in the coming decade 

• How to address unmet needs in its housing inventory 

• Ways to fortify and improve the viability of the local 

business district 

• How to support safer, more efficient modes of travel 

for bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists.

from the guidance established by the updated ... n

One of the best British gift shops in

One borough, 

one book 

› In April, the Public 

Library and The Haddon 

Fortnightly will host a 

month-long community 

literary initiative to 

celebrate and explore 

the book Clara and 

Mr. Tiffany, a work of 

historical fiction by 

Susan Vreeland. 

Behind the scenes 

at the Tiffany glass 

company, Clara Driscoll 

is responsible for 

conceiving and designing 

nearly all of the leadedglass 

lamps for which 

Tiffany becomes famous. 

The wrinkle? Tiffany 

has a strict policy of 

not employing married 

women. Clara yearns for 

love and companionship 

and must decide what 

makes her happiest: the 

professional world of her 

hands or the personal 

world of her heart. 

On the agenda: 

• Mon Apr 8 at 1pm at 

the Haddon Fortnightly: 

Food historian Judith 

Krall-Russo will present 

a program on Gilded Age 

foods. 

• Thu Apr 11 at 6:45pm: 

A discussion of Clara 

and Mr. Tiffany at the 

Fortnightly. 

• Wed Apr 17 at 3:30pm: 

A faux stained glass craft 

for teens (grades 6 thru 

12) at the Public Library. 

• Tue Apr 23 at 

10:30am: A tour guided 

by David Stedman of the 

Tiffany windows at the 

Presbyterian Church. 

• Wed Apr 24 at 3:30pm: 

A children’s storytime 

and faux stained glass 

craft at the Fortnightly, 

featuring the youth 

companion title, Mary 

Blair’s Unique Flair.

High School students for literary, visual, and performing arts. The deadline 

for submissions for the Bradshaw Literary Award and the Quanci Visual Arts 

Award is Thu Mar 28. Details at HaddonfieldCivic.com. Candidates for the

An elegant evening with Symphony in C 

› Symphony in C will host its annual gala at Tavistock Country Club on Sun 

Apr 14 from 5 to 9pm. The theme – Brilliant! – is an apt description of this 

ensemble of the best young professional orchestra musicians from Juilliard, the 

Curtis Institute of Music, and other prestigious music conservatories. 

The event will celebrate Symphony in C’s new music director, Noam Aviel, 

who relocated here from her home country of Israel in August 2023. 

Sponsors will be invited to a pre-Gala reception at 4pm with Noam, who will 

share her unique perspective on the art of conducting. 

Guests will enjoy an elegant evening of cocktails, a gourmet dinner with 

wine, open bar, and a live performance by some of the Symphony’s talented 

musicians. After dinner? Dancing to the sounds of the Elegance Electric String 

Quartet. A silent auction will be held throughout the evening.

A peek inside the Fortnightly 

› Most Haddonfield residents are familiar with the 

stately white building at the corner of Kings Hwy E 

and Grove Street, but few have a clue about what 

goes on inside. 

You can find out at 7:30pm on Wed Mar 20 during 

an Open House hosted by the owners and principal 

occupants of the building, The Haddonfield 

Fortnightly. 

The invitation reads thus: “Ladies, have you been 

thinking that it’s time to broaden your horizons, 

make some changes in your routines or meet people 

with whom you can work on charitable projects and 

pursue common interests? Attend our Open House, 

enjoy light refreshments with us, meet some of our 

members, and learn about the civic and charitable 

work and other activities that the club pursues. In 

addition, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a 

tour of our beautiful, historic building, where we 

hold our meetings and host various social events 

and functions and which we also make available to 

the public for rentals.” 

Club meetings are held monthly from September 

through May, with a choice of afternoon or evening 

meetings. Women of all ages and stages of life are 

welcome as members.

At the Markeim: Two Giannottis 

(father and daughter) 

› The opening reception for an exhibition of 

paintings, sculptures, and relief art of John Giannotti 

and the nature photography of his daughter Keara 

Giannotti will be held at the Markeim Arts Center on 

Sat Mar 9 from 7 to 9:30pm. 

All are welcome. 

John Giannotti is best known in Haddonfield as 

the sculptor of Haddy, the downtown dinosaur. 

More widely, he is known as professor emeritus at 

Rutgers University, where he served as Fine Arts 

chair in Camden and director of Junior Year Abroad 

in Italy. 

John Giannotti’s paintings and sculptures are in 

public and private collections worldwide, including 

bronze monuments of Madame Curie and Walt 

Whitman at Soka University in Japan. Castings of 

Walt Whitman also are installed in the cities of the 

poet’s birth and death: Huntington NY and Camden. 

In addition to Haddy, John has donated his 

services to create several works locally, including 

The Little Artist sculpture at Tatem School, the Rosie 

Hymerling mural at Tatem, and The Last Buttonwood 

relief painting at the Public Library. He has served 

as a consultant and board member for the Markeim 

and the Haddonfield Outdoor Sculpture Trust. 

Keara Giannotti is a naturalist and the founder/ 

director of Camp Creek Run, a nonprofit 50-acre 

camp and nature preserve in Marlton, dedicated to 

connecting children with the natural world. 

As an environmental educator, she embraces 

nature study as both a science and an art form. Her 

goal with nature photography is not only to capture 

the beauty of the subject, but to create composed, 

descriptive pictures that document intimate, macro 

details of plants, animals, and fungi to be used as 

reference to deepen her understanding, and share it 

with others. 

Music at the reception will be provided by 

Reasonable Volume (Shandon Willey and Donte 

Goldston). 

The show – titled “Generations: A Father/ 

Daughter Exhibition” – will run thru Fri Apr 12.
