Maggie describes Sizzle Bacon as the only surviving pig sibling who takes Alexander T. Wolf to court. She says the character is sassy, fashionable, and more focused on herself than anyone else. Maggie also says she enjoys playing characters with attitude and personality, which made the role especially fun for her. She says one of her favorite parts of the production is the courtroom scene because of the humor, the larger role her character has in the scene, and the chance to interact more with the cast.

Eric continues with Maggie Lauth, who says this is her first major stage production with Orange Barrel Production Company’s production of The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs.

Maggie says one of her favorite rehearsal memories involved a funny courtroom scene adjustment from director Michelle Banko that had the cast laughing during practice. She also says it has been fun being involved in the production alongside her cousin, who plays Goldilocks.

She encourages other kids to give theater a try, saying Orange Barrel Productions is a great place to start because rehearsals are manageable and the experience is both fun and rewarding.

Maggie also says the community should come out and support the production because the cast has worked hard to create a fun experience for audiences of all ages.

Performances will take place: May 21st, and 22nd at 7 p.m. at the Crossroads Theater inside the Mount Vernon Developmental Center Administration Building.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. General admission tickets are 10 dollars. For more information, visit Ohio Drama-dot-com or call 740-504-8847.

Simple ways to build your life around Jesus!

Today is Courageous Follower Day. The day focuses on the role of followers in any team or organization. It recognizes the power of committed and engaged followers who contribute to success through their actions and decisions.

As followers of Christ, this day can highlight the importance of believers who actively live out their faith not just as passive spectators, but as committed disciples of Christ. A courageous Christian follower stands firm in biblical truth, supports godly leadership, and serves others with humility and love. They build their life around Jesus!

So how can we do this?

Here are 3 simple ways:

1. Be with Jesus

Spend intentional time with Jesus each day, because relationships grow through consistent connection. In the middle of life’s noise and distractions, set aside a quiet moment to simply talk with your Heavenly Father. Just as meaningful conversations require the right setting, create a daily space to be still and meet with Him.

2. Become Like Jesus

Allow Jesus’ teachings to transform your life so that your choices and actions reflect His ways. As you walk with Him, the Holy Spirit will continue to reveal the areas that need to become more like Jesus.

3. Do What Jesus Did

Remember the WWJD bracelets—“What Would Jesus Do?” A helpful way to personalize it is to ask, “What would Jesus do if He were me right now?” That question brings His presence into our everyday decisions, conversations, and thoughts so our actions begin to align with His heart.
