LBC And Servant Stage To Produce “Titanic” Musical By Ann Mead Ash

Wally Calderon, artistic director with Servant Stage Company, admits that there is an element of preconception in staging “Titanic,” the 1997 musical with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and a book by Peter Stone. “There is no surprise ending,” said Calderon of the musical that has been on his shortlist of shows for some time. Calderon loves the show because of its “character-driven depiction” of the historical events and the stories it tells that draw audience members into the story. “(Audience members grow) attached to the historical figures involved,” said Calderon. “That’s the magic of the show … the power of the story.” Calderon is working with Servant Stage executive director Jonathan Bauer to bring the show to the stage in See “Titanic” pg 2

Members of the cast of the Servant Stage production of “Titanic” include (from left) Rebekah Hill, Jessica Dey, Rob Bigley, Adler Roberts, Matthew Wilhelm, Donna Schilke, and Jon Rider. The show is being staged in partnership with Lancaster Bible College, and presentations will be held at the college’s Good Shepherd Chapel on several dates in September.

When Landis Homes resident Jacqueline Myers was a child, she lived with her parents in Belgium, where they ran a home for orphaned children. Following World War II, Myers recalled that many colorful quilts were donated to the orphanage by Mennonite organizations in the United States. When she immigrated, Myers aimed to learn quilting, and she eventually retired to Lancaster County, where she learned the art. Now, Myers is giving back by donating her Magic Tiles quilted piece to be auctioned at the Landis Homes Fellowship Day, which will be held at the community, 1001 E. Oregon Road, Lititz, on See Fellowship Day pg 5

Roy Weaver (left), Jacqueline Myers, and Sadie are looking forward to the 46th annual Landis Homes Fellowship Day, to be held at the retirement community on Sept. 8. The day will feature a chicken barbecue, an auction of artwork by well-known local artists, and more.
