Musical Packs Serious Message icole Yutzy, director of the Lititz Area Mennonite School (LAMS) production of “More to the Story,” does not shrink from involving her cast members in the creation of her original shows. “For this show, I asked the students, ‘What kind of characters would you like to play and what kind of show would you like to be in?’” recalled Yutzy of the process. “When you’re writing from scratch, it’s a challenge.” “More to the Story,” a show that mixes classic fairy tale characters with fresh roles to explore “heroism” in the person of Robin Hood, played by Ethan Sommers, will be staged at Landis Hall at The Junction Center, 1875 Junction Road, Manheim, on Saturday, May 7, and Sunday, May 8, at 2 and 7 p.m. each day.

Another big dance number is “Don’t Break the Rules” from “Catch Me If You Can.” Yutzy has also utilized “All for the Best” from Godspell to highlight two perspectives. “It can mean it’s all going to work out or it means it’s only for the best of the people, and the poor get the short end of the stick,” she said.
