PVHS Prepares To Present “Pieces� BY ANN MEAD ASH
licia Trescavage, director of the Pequea Valley High School (PVHS) presentation titled “Pieces,� would like to see audiences enjoy the show, appreciate the acting and comedic skills of the students, and relax. “I want them to leave thinking that was a lot of fun,� she said. “The kids are giving the audience the gift of relaxing and enjoying.� “Pieces,� which will consist of a selection of monologues, short scenes, and a one-act comedy called “12 Incompetent Jurors,� will be presented at PVHS, 4033 E. Newport Road, Kinzers, on Friday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m. and on Saturday, Nov. 7, at 2 and 7 p.m. Audience members are required to wear masks as per state and school guidelines. “The whole show is called ‘Pieces’ because basically we are piecing things together,� said Trescavage. “There’s nothing that
Three short scenes will be performed, as well. “One of the scenes is called ‘Romeo and Juliet - Sped Up,’� noted Trescavage. “It’s a melodramatic retelling of the story.� The students will also perform two scenes from a larger play called “One Stop-Light Town,� which Trescavage explained will be published in the next few months. “We will be one of the first schools that does parts of it,� she noted. One scene from that show is called “The Big Dance,� and it involves two people in a love-hate relationship. The other scene is called “The Drag Race.� Auditions for the show were held the week of Sept. 7. Trescavage worked well ahead to face the many challenges of presenting a play while working within COVID-19 restrictions. “The whole approach to how you plan and stage (is a challenge),� she noted, adding, “The biggest challenge is myself and the kids being flexible enough to make See PVHS pg 2
Cavod Schedules “Wonder� For Christmas BY ANN MEAD ASH
Back in the spring of 2019, Cavod ballet director Stephanie Morales was thinking about Christmas. “‘The Nutcracker’ is big for the holidays,â€? said Morales. “I love (the show), but ‌ I thought there should be something else for the holidays.â€? When Morales went to sleep one night, she dreamed of a ballet.

has a connection to anything else.� The structure of the show and minimal scenery allow for social distancing. In the fall of 2019, the PVHS players tackled the weighty “Radium Girls,� based on the true stories of young women who took ill after working in factories where they painted watch dials with paint containing radium. “‘Radium Girls’ was such a serious topic, I promised (the students) I would do a comedy (in 2020),� said Trescavage, who chose “12 Incompetent Jurors� by Ian McWethy because she so enjoyed directing another work by the author at PVHS several years ago. She added the monologues and scenes to give members of the cast of about 20 “chances to shine individually.� Trescavage shared that all the monologues except one were written by students ages 13 to 18. One student is doing a monologue from “Les Miserables.�
According to many travel polls, travelers are choosing small-town destinations for getaways and vacations. Not just now, because of COVID, but into the spring and summer of 2021. Fewer crowds, less traffic, unique culture, and friendly locals make visiting obscure locations more desirable than ever. As the editor of Where & When Pennsylvania, a publication of See EXPLORE pg 2 Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. (EPC), I quickly learned that many of us have little idea of what’s going on in our surrounding area, let alone across the commonwealth. That’s why we’re launching a new series in our community papers called EXPLORE Across Town, Across PA. Each month we’ll feature a town in our coverage area, as well Autumn landscape at Frank Lloyd Wright’s as a destination Fallingwater, Mill Run, PA
