Beast, Beast, Where For Art Thou?


It never ceases to amaze me what talents lie in the hearts of our volunteers. Forrest Wilcox is an absolute genius craftsman and has once again outdone himself. From my crude drawing on the back of an envelope and awkward description of impossible scene changes, this master designed and built our balconies for Beast to cry out in despair, our battle to ensue and our townspeople to herald crazy old Maurice.

Add to this genius the set design and painting by our talented Alex D'Souza, Laura Emery, Noel McKern, Doug Fuerst, and Maya Curtinzupan and you will find a magical place to suspend not only your belief, but your worries.

Dr. Hoolala will bring his own brand of magic to the stage as he costumes the wardrobe and makes Cogsworth tick. Lumiere will shine and Cupcakes will giggle in the hands of Seamstress Extraordinaire, Mandi Bussell.

Beauty and her Beast, along with an enchanted castle filled with clattering objects will bedazzle, bewitch and befuddle you as to "how did they do that?"

Come see how we put all these pieces into "play" and create our own very special Upstart Crow Magic! Tickets are disappearing!
