Congratulations to the cast and crew of the South Milwaukee High School Theatre Company’s “Beauty and the Beast”!
Thanks to Leslie Henry for providing the following …
The South Milwaukee High School Theatre Company produced the show Beauty and the Beast last weekend and it was a tremendous success. According to production director, Julie Pikulik,” the company was proud to present a show that the entire family could attend.” About 70 students participated in the cast, stage crew, orchestra and direction of the show. These youth masterfully learned their lines and the difficult music and performed with ease and grace. They also designed and constructed imaginative costumes and intricate sets and where some show patrons remarked the show came out of a “Disney Vault.” It was so realistic that a young member of the audience yelled out to warn the Beast when Gaston the show’s villain was going to get him.
The SMHS Theatre Company’s mission is to create a safe, respectful and collaborative environment for students to learn the values and life skills of teamwork, confidence, honesty, kindness, perseverance and responsibility through the production of high-quality performances.
This highly successful endeavor that drew an audience of over 400 each of the days in the three show run and brought many communities within South Milwaukee together. It was evident by seeing the variety of people including the ages and interests that this show was a true community triumph.
Bravo to the directors, students, volunteers, staff and community for supporting the dramatic arts for youth of South Milwaukee.
