Beauty and the Beast at Beck Center, Nov. 30 - Dec. 30

One of your Lakewood neighbors or friends may be appearing in Beck Center’s upcoming production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, November 30 through December 30 on the Mackey Main Stage. The following cast members call Lakewood their home: Josh Cutting, Amy Christina Hall, Lesley Dohrn, Assad Khaishgi, Lee Domenick, Larry Nehring, Rachel Fichter and Persis Sosiak.

Lee Domenick portrays Monsieur D’Arque, the warden of the insane asylum. Ironically, in real life, he is an Episcopal priest and Rector of Church of the Ascension on Detroit Avenue.

Amy Christina Hall is Madame de la Grande Bouche, the opera-singing wardrobe. She attended the Cleveland Institute of Music where she completed a Professional Studies degree in Voice in 2004. Amy has performed with the Cleveland Opera on Tour.

Originally from Karachi, Pakistan, Assad Khaishgi moved to Lakewood in 2001. He loves this show as wells as dancing and singing as the Dinner Bell.

Professional Equity actor, Larry Nehring returns in his role as Lumiére, the debonair candlestick. He has been an active part of the local theater community for the last 13 years. Larry is Artistic Director of the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival.

New to the cast this year are Josh Cutting (Candle Man), Lesley Dohr (Lady with Baby/Broom & Dustpan), Rachel Fichter (Silly Girl/Plate), and Persis A. Sosiak (Spoon/Villager). They join a cast of over 40 actors, singers and dancers who bring this fairy tale to life on the Beck Center stage.

This is the Beck Center’s third and final production of this Disney favorite – just in time for the holidays. Audiences young and old will enjoy this "tale as old as time." Don’t miss it.
