When Tracy Wagner, director of the Lancaster Catholic High School (LCHS) musical, looked into securing the rights for a spring show that the school would be able to stream, she did not know that her choice of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” would be met with intense student enthusiasm.

“This group was jumping out of their skin with excitement,” recalled Wagner, who added that the students know the characters and the melodies and wanted to work on learning the show as soon as the books arrived.

“‘The Little Mermaid’ is the story of Ariel, played by Sheridan Riva, a mermaid princess with a beautiful singing voice, who lives in an undersea kingdom. Ariel should be content, but she desires the one thing she cannot have: life on land. When Ariel recues a human prince named Eric, played by Henry Greiner, from a storm at sea and falls in love with him, she is even more determined to realize her dream. She defies her father, King Triton, played by Zac Snyder, and bargains with sea witch Ursula, played by Kati Lyle, who demands Ariel’s voice in exchange for entry into Prince Eric’s world. With help from Flounder, played by Oliver Hughes; Scuttle, played by Caroline Erb; and Sebastian, played by Isabelle Titzer, Ariel works to gain the love of the prince without being able to speak. If they fail, she will lose her soul to Ursula.

The show will be presented at the school to a limited audience by invitation. The stream will be available from Sunday, April 18, through Sunday, May 2, at 7 p.m. each evening. Tickets to watch the streamed show may be purchased through the Fine and Performing Arts link under Student Life at www.lchsyes.org or by searching for “Lancaster Catholic High School” at www.showtix4u.com. A discount is available for family ticket purchase.

“The Little Mermaid” is known for big musical numbers such as “Under the Sea” and “Kiss the Girl,” but also for “Positoovity,” which will feature tap dancing seagulls, led by experienced tap dancer Erb as Scuttle.

Wagner has been directing rehearsals for the 46 students in the cast, crew, and orchestra. She noted that the students’ masks make it harder for her to judge the work of the ensemble, but she praised the singers in the lead roles and noted that many members of the small orchestra will need to play more than one instrument during the performance. Wagner noted that creating convincing underwater scenes through choreography, staging, lighting, and costumes is also a challenge.

During a year of uncertainty, Wagner said she is happy to offer students roles playing the iconic Disney characters. “They needed something they love and can grab on to,” she said.

The cast, crew, and orchestra of the Lancaster Catholic High School production of “The Little Mermaid” are preparing to stage the show both live and virtually.

The Genord and Angela Bonnegre family (left photo) will hold a fundraiser meal on Friday, April 16, to aid the Lenord and Trish Bonnegre family (middle photo) in assisting people in Haiti through Restoring Lives Ministry. The meal will feature Haitian dishes (right photo).

A dinner fundraiser to support mission work in Haiti will take place on Friday, April 16, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the New Covenant Mennonite Fellowship, 529 E. Farmersville Road, New Holland. Takeout and dine-in options will be available. A Haitian meal, including rice and beans and a dessert, will be served. The event is open to the public.

The event is an offshoot of a dinner fundraiser launched eight years ago by Lenord and Trish Bonnegre in Sugarcreek, Ohio. Two hundred eighty people attended the first event, and this number has grown. Lenord’s twin brother, Genord Bonnegre, and his wife, Angela, and their family, of New Holland, decided to host their own fundraiser dinner in Pennsylvania. Trish was raised in the larger Holmes County area of Ohio and met Lenord Bonnegre in Haiti over 21 years ago. They married in 2010. Together they launched Restoring Lives Ministry to serve the Haitian people through church activities, pastoral training, and providing education to youths and children. The ministry’s goal is to bring freedom, deliverance, and hope to the people of Haiti. Lenord felt he was being called to ministry in his late teens. Although the call to the ministry was clear, he was unsure how he should go about following it. Eventually, he began exploring how he could serve people in the United States and use these efforts as an avenue to raise funds to help his own people in the village of Passé boi d’ormes (pronounced “paws-bwadom”) in Haiti. Most of the food for the upcoming fundraiser will be prepared in the same style that Lenord grew up with. Donations will be accepted to benefit the ministry. For more information, contact Angela Peachey Bonnegre at 717330-6219.
