After holding a livestreamed show with minimal attendance due to COVID-19 restrictions in 2020, Ursula Wolfer, director of the Red Rose Figure Skating Club's upcoming revue, is excited to be staging an in-person show that will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Red Rose Figure Skating Club.

"It's called 'Magical Memories,' and it's a look back and a re-creation of all our greatest hits over the past 20 years," said Wolfer. "Our principal skaters will do songs that were featured numbers in past shows." Principal skaters for 2021 are Amelia Atkinson, Lily Babione, Evan Bertz, and Lauren King, along with area high school seniors Cassie Peck, Isabella Kettles, and Navya Reddy.

"Magical Memories" will be presented on Sunday, Dec. 12, at 1 and 5 p.m. at the Lancaster Ice Rink, 371 Carerra Drive, Lancaster. The show will feature more than 30 skaters ranging from beginners to adults.

Among the show numbers will be features from past shows including "Arabian Nights" from the "Princess Classics" show, "Hoedown Throwdown" from "Toy Story," "Neverland" from "Finding Neverland," "Defying Gravity" from "Oz on Ice," "What Time is it?" from the "High School Musical" show, "Come Alive" from "Mirror Mirror," "Circle of Life" from "Festival of Life," and "Ugg-A-Wugg" from "Peter Pan."

According to Wolfer, audience members should expect to see a presentation that will draw on skaters' skills and acting ability. "We will have some high-flying double jumps, including double axles," she reported. "(Skaters) showcase all kinds of spins that require extreme flexibility." She added that fancy footwork will include twists and turns that represent the highest level of U.S. figure skating rankings. "(Skaters) work hard at emotionally bringing the characters to life," Wolfer stated, adding that theatrical movements that require unison and teamwork among skaters will be featured as well. The final performance will bring back costumes from featured skating solos throughout the years.

Wolfer has confidence in the Red Rose coaching staff that will be helping prepare the skaters for the show. "Our coaching staff is very experienced," she said, pointing out that many of the coaches have taken part in past shows and performed in some of the numbers that will be included this year.

Wolfer skated with Disney on Ice for several years, and she has brought her professional experience to the choreography of the show.
