The One with Beauty and the Beast

 

 

Well, this weekend, it happened. For the first time since Covid-19 shut down Kennedy's doors one week before Tech Week. The triumphant return of the KMS musical - opening for the first time at the new Kennedy Middle School.

And it did not disappoint!!! What an amazing show the Kennedy students put on as they performed Beauty and the Beast in front of a live audience (the first time a show has been performed in front of a live audience there).

It truly was amazing. The cast was spectacular. Because we have a full time technical director, the stage crew actually numbered 20 students (a record!). And the blend of lights (with the light room), sounds, with a whole sound board section, and crew (with plenty of space on both sides), was amazing.

I returned for another year behind the scenes and enjoyed every moment of it. It also enjoyed the fact that 5th graders got to be in the show for the first time since The Wizard of Oz in 2002. It was wild and crazy...but amazing!

What a 24th show. What amazing memories. And what a stage (as you can see from the picture above).
