Hannah George

as Belle

Hannah is thrilled to bring Belle to life in Beauty and the Beast Jr!

When she’s not on stage, she’s riding horses, reading way too many books, and hanging out with her best friends. She thanks her family, teachers, and directors for all their support and can’t wait to keep her musical journey going!

Will is excited to return for his third stage production as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast Jr. having previously performed in Madagascar Jr. and Alice in Wonderland Jr. This year, he has especially enjoyed the intensity of the "Mob Song" and the challenge of taking on a larger role. When he isn't in rehearsals, Will stays busy on the court with the PES Varsity basketball team and the Fort Mill Yellow Jackets and at the barn with the PES Equestrian team and his horse, Evie. He looks forward to continuing his journey in theater and performing in many more shows to come!
