Thad at the Fulton Theater

Donald Rhoads, a professor at Stevens Tech, wrote the stirring play for the college's 100th anniversary.

Brian McCreary and Toni Barber played Thaddeus Stevens and Lydia Hamilton Smith brilliantly.

Brad Hoch, author of the new biography on Stevens, signs a copy for Mike Laverty of Lancaster.

Thaddeus Stevens descendants, Brenda Alexander (pink sweater) Greg Seller (kneeling) and Doris Seller (blue sweater) came from Indianapolis for the play. Behind them is Mary "Breezy" Smith, a Stevens descendant from Maryland and her husband Kingsley. Peeking over Doris's head is Ross Hetrick, president of the Thaddeus Stevens Society.
