Pop music and parables
Derry Area High School will present “Godspell,” blending songs in various styles with the parables of Jesus, at 7 p.m. Friday-Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Songs from the hit 1970 musical include “Day by Day.”
Small in-person audiences will be limited to family members. Tickets to view the livestream are available at showtix4u.com.
Soccer and soul searching
Seton Hill University Department of Theatre and Dance will stream recorded performances of “The Wolves,” a Pulitzer Prize-finalist play by Sarah DeLappe, at 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. The play, performed by a student cast, follows the shifting relationships among members of a girls’ soccer team as they deal with tragedy.
The play is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals and in memory of longtime Seton Hill University costume designer and theater instructor Sue O’Neill.
Access to the stream is “pay what you can” at alumni.setonhill.edu.
Step back in time
Fort Ligonier resumed daily operations on April 1, welcoming guests from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. seven days a week. Stroll the fortifications and galleries that offer a look back at the history of the restored British stronghold founded in 1758. View handwritten recollections from a young George Washington, who served on the Pennsylvania frontier and visited the fort. Washington wanted his musings returned or “committed to the flames” after being read by a friend — an order history buffs are glad was ignored.
Fees include admission to all galleries and exhibits. Tours are self-guided, although fort staff and volunteers are available to answer questions.
