"Disney’s Beauty and the Beast" was presented by the Mount Vernon Community Children’s Theatre last weekend. The production was directed and choreographed by Gae Schmidt. Willa Brown returned as music director; Cassie Sauer, stage manager; Laura Marshall, assistant producer; Susy Coffey, sound design and Bill Johnson, stage design. Dozens of families and friends volunteered for set construction, the stage crew, lighting, graphic design, props, seamstresses, publicity, make-up, and photography.
