Claire Arking

as Marie/Ensemble

I have never been in a CSPA production but I've been in several CTH shows and I love to act! My favorite part about being in Beauty and the Beast has been the dance rehearsals. I would like to thank myself, because why not?! (Sorry mom)

Gretchen Awender

As a member of the Ensemble last year in Mary Poppins, I had so much fun that I couldn't wait to be in this show! My favorite memory of Beauty and the Beast has been the first time we used the castle set for "Be Our Guest". I would like to thank everyone who helped put on this production because without them, it wouldn't be as amazing as it has been!

Lindsey Bowman

I love theater and dance and although this is my very first production at CSPA, I have really enjoyed it! My favorite part of the show is when the wolves dance because they look so cool and it's fun to watch them dance. I would like to thank my mom for driving me to practice, my grandma for adjusting my costume and my friend Anaka for just being there, right next to me!

Marissa Carson

as Babette

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney princess movie and since I was little I've dreamed of being in this show! I was previously in Mary Poppins, Jr and Romeo and Juliet here at CSPA. I would like to thank my amazing family for their constant love and support through this musical. Love you guys! Alaina- for always hyping me up before a scene and making me laugh non-stop!

Skylar Causey

as Belle

I have been in six productions here at CSPA, including musicals and Shakespeare. I'd like to thank Mrs. Barnaby & Mrs. Jones for supporting me, I wouldn't be the person I am without them! Also, Mr. Penner, for persisting even with my doubts. As well as, Mrs. Gibbons and Ms. Mindy for your constant words of love and support. And my friends and family for everything! Thanks!
