Beauty and the Beast, directed by Francis Dodds, was performed by the Corsicana Children's Company on April 24, 25, 26 & twice on the 27th. The cast was full of young people ages 9-16 while lights and sound were run by children 13-16.
My daughter was in the cast and it was absolutely exhausting. Rehearsals ran daily for 6 weeks, even on Sundays. All their handwork paid off, the show was VERY well received. I was fearful the boys would get out of control during the sword fight (goodness knows they broke 13 wooden swords during rehearsals!) and injure an audience member but that didn't happen (sigh of relief!).
I did my part too as the scenic artist as well as assistant stage manager. There won't be another Children's show until November. We can hardly wait!
