In the words of Belle, she hopes everyone finds their “adventure in the great wide somewhere.” You are all incredible.

    as Beast

    Danny is floored to be cast as Beast in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Recently, he performed as Brad in The Class of 2017's Senior Revue: CHANGE THE CHANNEL, Leaf Coneybear in THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, and Charles Cheswick III in ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. While he may not have been on stage for A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM or SPRING AWAKENING, he enjoyed helping backstage with technical aspects. Danny, a senior, is a bit saddened to be performing in his last show at Ardsley High School. Outside of drama, Danny is a member of the Select Chorus' big and small groups, and also maintains roles such as Vice President of Drama Club, a Co-President of Film Club, and the President of Ardsley Safe Rides. He is a proud member of the International Thespian Society. Finally, he'd like to thank Mike and Tricia for all they've done, and for his last program bio pun, he would like to remind everyone that if it's not Baroque, don't fix it!
