A castle, a beast and an enchanted mirror will be on the stage at the Washington Community Center this weekend. Students at Washington High School are presenting their spring musical Beauty and the Beast. Lynn Loula, who is directing her final show before retirement, said about 30 students are in the show. She adds since seeing the animated movie in the early 1990’s she thought it’d be a great stage show.

Senior Cale Rausch is playing the part of the Beast and tells KCII he’s been rehearsing in his costume, which is very hot with all of its fur.

The cast invites the community to “Be Our Guest” at this weekend’s production. Beauty and the Beast will be at the Washington Community Center Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
