Beauty and the Beast cast, crew, and directors put on their first performance in front of elementary school children during One Lunch last week. Theater has been working on the musical for more than a month with cast and crew, even through difficult situations and scenes.

When the musical concluded, everyone was rewarded with a standing ovation following a meet and greet session between the actors and audience.

“We got a standing ovation every show, and tickets sales beat previous performances,” said freshman Haiden Batson, who ran the lights for the show.
