[NEohioPAL] One additional strong female dancer sought for Beck's Beauty and the Beast

Sat Oct 6 15:43:15 PDT 2007

An ensemble role is open in Beck Center's production of Disney's Beauty and
the Beast. The show goes into rehearsal October 27, opens November 30 and
runs through the month of December.

We need one additional female between the ages of 14 and 35 who has
very strong dancing skills.  The actor chosen will double as a villager and
a "napkin" (one of the pieces of enchanted dinnerware) and should be able to
do a "can-can" and chaînés and piqué turns.

If you are interested, please reply to this email or call me at 216-496-6087
to set up an audition time and date.

Fred Sternfeld, director

stagings, just Beck's *Urinetown* and *Beauty* qualified as anything
particularly special."
2006 - "Likewise, at midpoint of 2006-'07, only a pair of pure
entertainments - (Great Lakes Theatre Festival's *A Funny Thing Happened on
the Way to the) Forum *and the *Beauty* revival - stand out as truly notable
achievements."

2005 - "It must be gratefully trumpeted that Beck's two shining musicals, *
Urinetown* and *Beauty and the Beast*, already have doubled 2004-05's one
triumph, *Ragtime <http://www.fredsternfeld.com/ragtime.htm>* from
JCC"     "outstanding
