On today’s show, we hear from two of the performers and the director of Garnet and Gold’s latest production, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, which opens today at Convocation Hall. Director Karen Valanne says it’s a big production this year. The cast of 45 includes a youth ensemble from local schools, and the orchestra is the largest in years. The show kicks off today with a matinee for public school students, and then an evening performance at 7:30pm, and continues through to Saturday.
