This month, Ada High School and Ohio Northern University graduate, Jill Davis, is at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London.

She is the daughter of Duane and the late Helen Davis of Ada.

She was invited to design the set and costumes for three short farces by Feydeau. Geoff Bullen translated these scripts from French and is now directing the production he has dubbed “Chez Feydeau.”

Here is one of the three renderings of the set Davis created for the production. “There are three projection screens above the set that have images of Paris at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries,” explains Davis.

In the Ada Icon's continuing quest to stump our readers, we offer this photo taken in Ada. Know where it is?

Hint: in the lobby of a center on Main Street. The words are so true, as you know, if you have ever dealt with a multinational corporation or federal agency...and remember, "the conversation is being recorded for quality assurance and training purposes."

The answer: In the waiting room of Family Chiropractic Center, i.e. the offices of Dr. Larry Hubbell and Dr. Todd Gillfillan at 108 N. Main. (Monty Siekerman)

This is the time of year when the media descends on our village to report on the making of the all-important pigskin.

In the past few days, the local factory has hosted representatives from A&E, Kenton, Lima, Findlay, and Columbus....and, of course, your Ada Icon.

Next week more the national media will be here, putting Ada on the map once more.
