In front of nothing but packed crowds, the “Beauty And The Beast” cast and crew dazzled over the weekend, turning out a memorable production packed with beautiful costumes, music and set designs as well as impressive acting, singing and dancing.
The Performing Arts Center was a near sellout for all three shows, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
“Beauty And The Beast” featured more than 160 actors, crew members, designers, managers, and musicians who dedicated months to the preparation of the production. During that time, students from the International Thespian Society partnered with Stevenson Backstage to complete more than 300 hours working on production builds.
