From the cast, crew, volunteers, and everyone at The Culture House, a HUGE and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who attended our Summer Broadway Series production of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, this past weekend at The Kauffman Center. It was a dream come true for all of us on stage and backstage. The support from the audience from our FOUR SELLOUT crowds was felt and made our experience all the more special.

Another HUGE thank you to all of the committee heads and volunteers that made this show happen. Without you, we would be nothing. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

And to our Directing Team, Alice Larson Scott, Kelsie Clark Massey, and Tiffany Best, and our Stage Manager Katie Force ...your passion and care, not only for this show, but for each and every member of the cast, was felt and appreciated every step of the way.

We are sad to put this show to bed, but our hearts are full. Thank you, Kansas City!
