Dance Concert, Musical Planned

Cavod Performing Arts has announced two upcoming productions, both of which will take place at Cavod Theatre, 641 W. Main St., New Holland.

Citylight Dance Theatre will present "Anchored" on Saturday, Feb. 12, at 2 and 4 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 13, at 4 p.m. This concert comprises dance works and personal stories that point to Jesus as the hope that anchors people. The dance repertoire and music selections explore identity, self-worth, and the earthly struggles that God desires to rescue people from. Several performers will share personal life stories and allegories that connect to themes portrayed throughout the show. The music includes songs by well-known artists such as Lauren Daigle, We the Kingdom, Hillsong, TobyMac, The Gray Havens, CityAlight, Steffany Gretzinger, Kanye West, and Needtobreathe.

Among the dance pieces is one about sirens, the mythological creatures that used their enchanting voices to distract sailors, causing them to stray off course and be lured to their deaths. This story depicts the destruction that temptation can cause when people fail to cry out to God for strength.

Jill Hertzog is the show's artistic director, and Lillian Ortiz is the assistant director. The choreography is by Gavin Haas, Jill Hertzog, Lillian Ortiz, and Caitlin Stoltzfoos.

Performing as company dancers are Annika Blake, Sarah Blatt, Jada Correll, McKenna Donaldson, Lincoln Everett, Jazmyne Levengood, Emma Myers, Dorene Stauffer, and Hannah Stoltzfoos. The company junior dancers are Emily DeRose, Ava Fidler, Olivia Horst, Aaliyah Lapp, and Inara Taylor.
