St. Patrick Academy students present junior version of ‘Beauty and the Beast’
Saint Patrick Catholic Academy in Bay Ridge isn’t a place where you’ll find wild beasts. But for one weekend, a beast in the school brought out the romantic in everyone.
Members of the St. Patrick Drama Club told a junior version of Disney’s enchanted tale of “Beauty and the Beast” in their school auditorium, entertaining capacity crowds on April 4, 5 and 6. Directed by Narrows Community Theater Treasurer Susan Huizinga, the show featured more than 40 talented students acting, singing and dancing in colorful costumes.
“Beauty and the Beast Jr.” starred eighth-grader Caitlyn Schmidt, who played Belle. The Beast/Prince was portrayed by eighth-grader Gabriel Buzack.
