What a fun(ny) group we had attending the musical “Hairspray” recently playing at the Fulton Theater in Lancaster. Surprising everyone with bouffant props certainly set the stage for this big, bold show that took home 8 Tony awards when it debuted on Broadway in 2002. Directed and choreographed by Kenneth Ingram, this local production delivered the same high energy and powerhouse vocals the musical is known for. Bravo to a superb cast, including our resident ‘dos!

Known as the “City of Murals,” Philadelphia claims more than 4,000 such works. Enjoying a tour of a selection of these public art projects, residents recently learned about the collaborations that gave rise to these grand-scale creations, the artists themselves, and the impact on youth art education within these communities. A big “thank you” to Mural Arts Philadelphia!

How do your friends and colleauges see you? We recently posed this question to members of our employee Ambassador Program, which showcases the culture at Shannondell and promotes our community as a great place to work. To break the ice in answering this month’s question, Ambassadors were paired off with the task of painting portraits of each other. Not only did the results bring “kicks and giggles,” but also closer connections that aren’t constrained by a six-inch screen. We give them all an “A!”

This “Carousel” took us for the ride of our lives, well actually of “Life.” Directed by Julianna Schauerman, our Actors Studio pulled out all the stops in this rollicking show celebrating life and love through comedy, dramedy, humor and farce. Adding well-placed (and played) song and dance, our resident thespians simply outdid themselves on stage for this recent production in the Performing Arts Theater. A great big “standing O” to the cast and crew, behind the scenes’ cheerleaders, Sue with MCT, and the Activities staff ... bravo!

Residents discovered where Rock meets Bach thanks to the recent TAKE3 concert in the Performing Arts Theater. Energizing not only the stage, but the entire theater, violinist Lindsay Deutsch, cellist Mikala Schmitz and pianist Jason Stoll lived up to pre-concert hype of a “must-see show unlike any other of our winter season.” Fantastic show ladies ... you rock, no Bach, no rock!

If our residents have anything to say about it, every day should be a “Sundae” at Shannondell. Enjoying a surprise pop-up ice cream bar with all the sweet fixings are a few residents and staff members caught in the act with their personalized Sundaes. We’ll take ours with Reese’s pieces, whipped cream and a cherry on top, please!

Our “crafty” residents recently hosted one of their seasonal Craft Show & Sale events. The creativity here is amazing. From handcrafted stitchery, pottery and dolls to jewelry, art, weaving and more, this fun event is a great opportunity not only for one-of-a-kind shopping, but also a little inspiration for residents to join one of our artsy groups. The Foundation at Shannondell also appreciates these events, with 10% of the proceeds benefiting local community causes. Thanks everyone!
