Summer 2007 Camp Production of "Beauty and the
Beast"
Dear Nancy Renee, Brian, Deborah and Harriet (and everyone else at TST
who helped with B&B).
I have delayed getting a note of appreciation to you because of a busy
start to the school year, but I haven’t stopped thinking about the
magical production of Beauty and the Beast you put on a month ago. It
was kind of miraculous … really … two-and-a-half weeks of rehearsal
WITH KIDS and THAT kind of result!?!? The kids were so happy during
the process, so excited about their wonderful costumes, about each
other, about working toward that show. And of course, both
performances were beautiful: every child seemed to be having a good
time on stage; the amount of talent that you brought out in those kids
was staggering; and the audience was thoroughly entertained during
every second of the whole.
I’m not quite sure how you managed to pull all of that off. I think
you must have stayed up all night for three weeks working out every
detail. You certainly gave the kids a lot they will keep with them
forever. Isabel, Tony II and Tony III talk all the time about B&B and
can’t wait ‘til next year. Of course I have to plan our summer around
the cornerstone of Towne Street Theatre Camp. Nothing must interfere
with even as much as a day of that!! Believe me I KNOW that!

"I thought the production was
amazingly well done and to have pulled it off with just two weeks of
rehearsal...was, as they say, awesome ! I, too, thought the
production did, in fact, showcase the children aptly. ( I am not a
parent so there were probably more singers and/or dancers who would
have been able to showcase their talents in cameos in a review.)
However, the fact that two very young boys--the father and the
clock--were cast in roles that paired them with older and taller
children brought out and sustained the quirky eccentricities of each
character, was, in fact, brillantly hilarious. I could go on and
on...
That this has brought on a
dialogue is great. I would vote for being open to both...a full scale
production/play one year ....written by... with assistance...by the
kids themselves and a review production another.
Nonetheless....keep it up. It
was memorable...and all are to be congratulated."
Best,

"I really could not
believe my eyes . The kids are extraordinarily talented .The singing
the acting.. it was all so professionally done l. I kept saying how
did they do this is 2 weeks ... My Alex ( pepper shaker) can't wait to
get back next summer. She grew a lot from this experience. Thank you."

Hello Nancy,
"Congratulations to you and your team on a wonder presentation of,
"Beauty and the Beast." I know you are proud of the effort put forth
by the children in the camp. The Towne Street Theatre leadership did
an amazing job with them, and I wish you much success with future
Towne Street productions."

Dear TST Faculty, Staff & Campers,
By George you did it! For someone who saw your early presentations at
St. Brigid’s, I watched with great pride your awe inspiring production
of Beauty & The Beast. I was impressed by your nerve, verve, and
audacity; I left the theatre on a real high!
May your dreams of a facility of your own become a reality. I only
wish I could do more.
God’s grace and peace to you all.
