LBC students to present "Daddy Long Legs"

To help celebrate the 90th anniversary of Lancaster Bible College (LBC), LBC students will present a fully student-produced musical in March. "Daddy Long Legs" will be presented on the main stage of Good Shepherd Chapel at 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, March 21 and 22, and 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 23. The campus is located at 901 Eden Road, Lancaster.

"Daddy Long Legs" is based on the 1912 novel by Jean Webster and follows the story of an orphan named Jerusha Abbott. Living in the John Grier Home in New England, Abbott is given a college education to become a writer by a mysterious benefactor. She dubs the donor Daddy Long Legs after seeing only his elongated shadow. Abbott sends him a letter once a month, describing her newfound experiences beyond the orphanage.

LBC students will take charge of all aspects of the two-actor show, including performance, directing, music, costumes, props, light design, sound and tech. The students leading the production are part of an LBC workshop course taught by director of musical theater Stephen Atherholt.

There is an admission fee. Tickets may be reserved at http://www.lbc.edu/events.
