Andrei Niebres
as Beast
Andrei Niebres has liked music from a young age. In recent times, he picked up guitar and songwriting as a way to fuel his long-held passion.

Now a senior, Andrei is honored to play his first lead role as the Beast in this year's production of "Beauty and the Beast." Besides theater, Andrei is a member of various other school clubs and is an active parishioner of Sacred Heart. After graduation, he plans to attend the University of Florida, but is still undecided on a major. Perhaps soon, "there may be something there that wasn't there before."
