See “Xanadu” – March 18
The Fellowship Team is organizing a March 18 trip to Fort Mill High School’s 3:00 production of the Broadway musical Xanadu. Imagine it’s 1980, and a Greek muse comes down from Mt Olympus to inspire a creative thinker who has a dream to create a disco roller skating rink in Venice Beach, CA. Add Olivia Newton-John’s “Have You Never Been Mellow,” Electric Light Orchestra music, and roller skating actors, and you get the idea of the show. If interested, put a check to Grace for $15 in the offering plate or bring it by the office by March 11 and write Xanadu on the blank line.
