Poland Central School District’s Drama Club students are set to bring the excitement of Disney’s “Beauty and The Beast Jr.” to the stage this year. Within one week of tickets going on sale for the regularly scheduled Friday and Saturday performances, over 50% of the tickets were sold, creating the need to add a showing, moving the opening night to Thursday, March 27, at 6 p.m. “I am excited to play Belle because I grew up watching Disney movies, and she has always been my favorite,” said Hailey Carnright, a Poland senior and lead actress who has filled a variety of roles during her time with drama club. Grace McOwen, a Poland junior who assists with many areas of the production process and been the stage manager for several past shows, commented on the fun of putting together the set, props, and costumes. “The actors have a script they have to strictly follow but when it comes to the set, costumes, and props, we have a lot of leeway to be creative and make it our own,” McOwen said.
The performances are scheduled for Thursday, March 27, at 6 p.m., Friday, March 28, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, March 29, at 2 p.m. in the school’s Walker Auditorium.
