Dear Friends of the Theater,

Welcome to the Honesdale High School Performing Arts Center!  For fifty-nine years, Honesdale High School Performing Arts have helped define our community both on stage and off.  The performance you are attending today is a part of our 2018-2019 Performing Arts Season at the Wayne Highlands School District.

We are excited and honored that you chose to "Be Our Guest" and welcome you to our Honesdale High School musical production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast.  Our musical cast, stage crew, and musicians are made up of dozens of students from our schools.

Our show today takes us to the classic story tale of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

This "tale as old as time" is filled with spectacular music, costumes, sets and more. 

We are confident that you will have a memorable time in our theater and hope that you will share your experience with friends and family so that they can enjoy the cultural treasures available to everyone here in our community.

We are grateful for our students, parents, production assistants, stage crew members, community, and the generous support of our Season Sponsorships.  We hope that you will patronize these businesses in show of your support as they have supported the arts in our community!

The spirit of collaboration has always been a hallmark of Honesdale.  We believe, with our board of directors, that the Wayne Highlands School District is proud of our success in the area of the three “A’s” Academics, Arts, and Athletics. 

Education is a lifelong endeavor. The arts provide opportunities to use valuable critical thinking skills and explore diverse perspectives.

Thank you for your attendance and support at this performance.  Now, sit back, relax, and get ready, as we bring the best of Broadway to you through our student musical productions.

Patrons like you make the Center’s presentations possible when the lights go down and the curtain goes up.  Enjoy the Show!

Sincerely yours,

Scott D. Miller

Executive Director
