he singing accentuates the acting, and the dancing accentuates the singing. In theatrical circles, musical performers are known as triple threats due to their ability to act, sing and dance. Lancaster Mennonite School (LMS) is enlisting the talents of about a half-dozen triple threats to pull off the production of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” “Musical theater is really a heightened art form,” said K atelyn Cor yell, L ancaster Mennonite’s first-year director. “Singing happens when words aren’t enough for the depth of the moment, and dancing happens when singing isn’t enough for the depth of the moment. A musical definitely takes a different approach than a play. I find musicals to be super, super fun just because they’re larger than life.”
LMS will present “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” as its winter musical on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 22, 23 and 24, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 25, at 3 p.m. The performance will be staged within the confines of the High Fine Arts Center at Lancaster Mennonite, 2176 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster. “It’s set in a day of the life of Charlie Brown, and it’s like watching a singing and dancing comic strip,” said Coryell. “When Charles Schulz wrote the comic strip in the 1950s, he did not intend it to just reach children.

It explores and emphasizes the importance of human touch and human interaction. But what Bonnie Keller has discovered about baby cuddling is that it can be a symbiotic relationship. Yes, baby cuddling is a real thing, and it’s as heartwarming as it sounds. A resident of Manheim Township and a retired private adoption agency director, Keller performs her fascinating volunteer work in the neonatal
intensive care unit (NICU) of Women & Babies Hospital, 690 Good Drive, Lancaster. “Most of them are little wee ones,” said Keller of the babies she snuggles. “The littlest people you’ve ever seen, and they need help to grow. It’s very comforting to see them grow every week.
