Beauty And The Beast Cast

AIDAN GERARD (Beast)
My 1st year, I didn't even audition. My 2nd year, I auditioned to be the Devil - didn't get the part. My 3rd year, I auditioned to play a disruptive teenage lead - I played a Reverend instead. This year, I auditioned for the lead Beast role - I got the part. Nothing, to a background role, to the part that shouldn't be the main focus, to a lead. I've learned 2 things: Never start at the top, you'll have nowhere to go. And, it's the character that nobody is supposed to like that has the most depth
TESS ADAMS (Belle)
After 5 years of GSS productions, I am pleased to conclude what has been a series of incredible experiences with a show as spirited as 'Beauty & the Beast.' I want to thank this incredible cast for making it fun to come to rehearsal everyday, Mrs. Bruckner for never failing to bind the seams of musical realities, & Mr. Coates for every opportunity he has given me over the past 4 years & the tireless work he puts into every production. And thank you to my family who has given so much support!
ERIC LANGE (Gaston)
Hello, Big Boy Gaston. This is my third musical production and I actually got a part! It is tough playing Gaston as a freshman since I am not very big in size. But I have so much heart I make up for it... I hope. Thank you for coming to our show. But, if you don't enjoy it, I'll sick Lefou on you. Love, the bestest out of the restest, Gaston.
MICHAEL HENSHAW (Lumière)
Hey y'all! Thanks for coming to our show! This will be my fifth year participating in the musical and every year gets better and better! It's incredible to see the amount of dedication and effort we all put into the show over these past 3 months. I'd like to thank Mr. Coates and Ms. Bruckner for working with us and pushing us to always improve. Enjoy the show!
KAITLYN THAYER (Babette)
Hey all! Did you know that I actually don't have a French accent? Hard to believe right? When I am not being my saucy French self, I am most likely playing field hockey or eating chocolate. Not at the same time though, I promise. Anyways, thanks to all of the people who made the show possible and for making my fourth musical production absolutely fantastic!
EVAN TEPLENSKY (LeFou)
Evan is so excited as this is his fourth year in The Golden Stage Society. He has been in past musicals including "Cinderella," "The Drowsy Chaperone," and "Footloose." He is very happy to play the part of LeFou and hopes you enjoy the performance. He wants to thank his family for supporting him throughout the years.
JACK ZIMMER (Cogsworth)
My name is Jack Zimmer and this is my last year in North Salem. Since I am graduating I wanted to wish everyone luck in all of their future endeavors. I've had an amazing time with the cast in the last two shows. My only regret is that I didn't join the musical sooner. Thank you, Mr. Coates and Mrs. Bruckner for an amazing final show!
Liam Quinn-Wohl (Maurice)
Beauty and the Beast will be my fifth production at North Salem. As a junior I am so excited for this show and have loved being in this production and getting to work with everyone who has helped to make this show possible. Thank you for coming out to see our show, I hope you enjoy it!
SARAH ROSSI (Mrs. Potts)
It's been an honor to be a part of the Golden Stage Society for my last two years of high school. Thank you to Mr. Coates, Ms. Bruckner, and Mrs. Drumm for all their hard work on the show. To the cast and crew - break a leg, and thank you for becoming my family these past couple of years. I hope you enjoy this "tale as old as time" as much as we've enjoyed telling it.
AMANDA COLLINS (Chip)
Hello! My name is Amanda Collins. I play Chip the adorable and funny teacup. I love to act so much! I have this passion on the stage that I could never express in reality. I love to have the feeling of people laughing at my joke, crying when I'm emotional and smiling because their happy. I personally think that's what acting is all about.
AYDEN ROCHE (Monsieur d'Arque)
This is my fourth year as a member of The Golden Stage Society, and my first year as a high school student. I have enjoyed every performance, and I cannot wait to continue in the future. My other hobbies include scuba diving, sailing, and app design. Thank you so much for joining us, and I hope you enjoy the show!

JULIANNA AUSTIN (Silly Girl, Napkin)
Tonight, Be Our Guest & come & witness a Tale as Old as Time... forgive me, that's all the puns I could come up with this time around. This is my 4th year doing the NS musical & I'm so proud to be a part of this cast. Thank you Mr. Coates for his amazing stories, Ms. Bruckner for her memes, & to this year's seniors for leaving behind a legacy to live up to, & some entertaining memories. This show is going to be BEAST, guys.
WILLOW HOINS BENNETT (Townsperson, Napkin)
See that tall white snot-rag (a napkin?) ... that's me. That weird girl who failed the cartwheel... also me. I'm probably washed out by the lights and if you see me, you'll regret it. I will mess up every dance and fail the splits. And that shrill in the background: my voice. If at any point you feel like wishing me luck... don't. You'll jinx me. I literally WILL break my leg. So please, pity me. The only thing that will give me strength to go on, is the sugar high from the candy you give me!
EDWARD BERGHAM (Young Prince, Wolf, Salt)
Hi, my name is Edward Bergham. I acted in last year's musical "Footloose", and have been doing the drama club program offered by the Middle School. In this production I play the Little Prince, Wolf, Salt Shaker, Shepard, and am also a member of the mob.
