Lititz Christian School Slates “Annie” pg 3
Tracy Wagner, Lancaster Catholic High School (LCHS) drama director, chose the musical “Big Fish” for the school’s spring production because she loves the story, which is based on the Daniel Wallace novel of the same name, but she also chose it for the message it holds. “I want (audience members) to hold tight to their family relationships,” she said. “If there’s anything that’s broken or strained, (I hope they) try to heal that (because) we don’t know when our last moment will be.” “Big Fish,” a tale of extraordinary proportions, will be staged at LCHS,
650 Juliette Ave., Lancaster, at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday, March 28 through 30, as well as at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 31. Wagner noted that students will sell daffodils during performance breaks to help raise funds for the American Cancer Society. “During the show, there is one moment when (audience members will have a chance to) hold up the daffodils they purchased and be a part of the show,” explained Wagner. The play focuses on Will Bloom, played by Kameron Garcia, who is struggling with his relationship with his father, Edward, a former traveling salesman, played by Tony Dominguez. As Will Lancaster Catholic High School student cast members of “Big Fish” are preparing to stage the See “Big Fish” pg 5 show at the school from March 28 through 31.

LENTEN ROSE
Ashley Gage will play Anne, the red-haired orphan from Prince Edward Island, when “Anne of Green Gables” is presented at Cavod Theatre on April 5 to 7 and April 12 to 14.
“The cool thing about live theater and ‘Anne of Green Gables’ specifically (is that) Anne comes to life again for each generation,” said Cordell Huyard, creative director of Cavod Theatre. “A grandparent, a parent, a grandchild, and even a greatgrandchild can come together and enjoy the show. (They can) have some laughs, shed some tears, and go home realizing how blessed they are to have their family.” Huyard looks forward to seeing audiences introduced to the red-haired orphan from Prince Edward Island when “Anne of Green Gables,” adapted from the 1908 book by Lucy Maud Montgomery, will be presented at the theater, 685 W. Main St., New Holland, at 7 p.m. on Fridays, April 5 and 12; at 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturdays, April 6 and 13; and at 4 p.m. on Sundays, April 7 and 14. See Cavod Theatre pg 4
A Showcase Of Utilitarian Art Redware Display Opens At Landis Valley Museum By Ann Mead Ash
After King Charles II granted him a charter for land in 1681, William Penn invited people with specific skills to come to live and work in the area, which he had named Pennsylvania. “When William Penn held a call for laborers to come over, potters were on his list,” explained Jennifer Royer, Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum curator. Into the late 1800s, much pottery was redware, earthenware vessels and dishes made from clay with a high iron content that turned the pottery red when pieces were fired in a kiln.
