Servant Stage has gathered more than 30 talented teen performers to create "Don't Rock the Jukebox," a high-energy show paying homage to pop music from a number of eras and styles. The musical extravaganza, designed to appeal to people of all ages, will be performed at venues in Lititz, Leola, New Holland, and Lancaster. On Friday, June 25, the show will be staged at 7 p.m. in Lititz Springs Park, 24 N. Broad St., Lititz. On Saturday, June 26, the performers will appear at 11 a.m. at the Barnstormers' stadium, 650 N. Prince St., Lancaster, and that same day at Lancaster County Christian School, 2390 New Holland Pike, Lancaster, at 7 p.m. On Sunday, June 27, the show will move to the New Holland Park, 498 E. Jackson St., New Holland, at 3 p.m.

Wally Calderon, who serves as the Servant Stage artistic director said that he has loved working with this group of teens. "The energy and fun that they bring to each rehearsal has been unbelievable, and it shows in the stories they are telling through each song," he said. Calderon added that because the youths are willing to work and grow as performers, he has been able to push and challenge them further. "And they have risen to each occasion," he noted.

Performer Elle Herson, age 14, said that she hopes audiences enjoy the enthusiasm she and other performers put into the show. "It's fun to work with others who enjoy using the stage as an avenue to connect with other people," she said.
