“Work, Fight, or Play Ball” Author Talk at Book Bar
Free | 3-4 p.m., Sunday, April 27 | 50 N. Railroad St., Suite 1, Palmyra
Reporter and historian Bill Ecenbarger will join LebTown for an author talk at Book Bar in Palmyra (50 N. Railroad St.) on Sunday, April 27, at 3 p.m. Ecenbarger will speak about his 2024 title “Work, Fight, or Play Ball.” Ecenbarger’s book examines how Major League Baseball responded to America’s entry into World War I (and how Babe Ruth came to play in Lebanon).
Ecenbarger’s fascination with the Steel League began in the early 1990s while he was living in Lebanon County and walking his dog around Penryn Park, today’s YMCA Camp Rocky Creek, where he noticed a sign for “Babe Ruth Field.” Although Ruth’s appearance at Penryn Park may be apocryphal, the Great Bambino did, in fact, spend time in Lebanon County during World War I. Ecenbarger’s deep research produced an outstanding anthology of the facts, legends, and legacy of Ruth’s time here.
Ecenbarger will speak about his research and answer questions. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase after the talk. Free refreshments will be available for LebTown members at the event from Book Bar, which features a full coffee and tea menu as well as other non-alcoholic drinks. Free parking is available in the back and on the street.

Documentary Film Premiere at Allen Theatre & Salamander Bookstore Cafe
$10.00 | 6-8 p.m., Saturday, May 10 | 36 E. Main St., Annville
Come out and support this unique documentary featuring local interviews shot in Lebanon, PA!
Annubis Productions is proud to announce the premiere of their latest documentary, “This Is Why I Believe,” a compelling film featuring short interviews with 25 individuals exploring the deeply personal reasons behind their faith in God. The premiere will take place on Saturday, May 10, at 6 p.m., at the Allen Theatre. Tickets will be sold at the door for $10 each.
“This Is Why I Believe” was inspired by a simple yet profound question posed during a church sermon: “Why do you believe in Jesus?” This question ignited a personal quest to understand the foundation of faith in contemporary America. A 2023 Gallup poll revealed that only 47% of Americans hold absolute certainty in their belief in God, a statistic that underscores the importance of exploring and sharing stories of faith.
“Why do people believe in God?” asked Erik Soulliard, the film’s director. “And, if we could share their stories, perhaps we could inspire others to rediscover faith.”
This documentary features raw and honest interviews, revealing the diverse and powerful reasons behind belief. These interviews have already resonated with audiences online, demonstrating a genuine desire to understand and connect with the personal journeys of faith.
“In an age of fleeting content, we’ve created a film that delves deeper,” stated Soulliard. “These stories are too powerful to be diluted. We believe they deserve to be shared in their authentic form with no supplementary footage.”
This feature-length documentary doesn’t just contain personal stories, it also incorporates interviews with theologians and psychologists to provide a comprehensive understanding of the universal human experience of faith.

“Stripped for Parts” Screening at Allen Theatre
Free | 1:30-3 p.m., Sunday, May 18 | 36 E. Main St., Annville
“Stripped for Parts” tells the story of the secretive hedge fund that used to own the Lebanon Daily News until it was swapped to Gannett in 2015. The film explores why Alden Global Capital has gobbled up so many newspapers only to gut them. It’s a question your LebTown editor asked himself many times from 2012-2014 when he worked for Alden, an experience that led to LebTown’s founding. Our thanks go out to the filmmakers who are letting LebTown host this screening for a nominal fee due to the alignment between our focus on local news and the message of the film.
This screening will be held in the Allen Theater, the county’s last single-screen movie house. Before and after this free screening, you’ll have a chance to meet reporters from LebTown’s newsroom and browse the attached Salamander Bookstore Cafe.
