This spring, there's a blockbuster that's not on the big screen, but on the stage. The Players Club of Swarthmore Theater is wrapping up its season with Disney's Beauty and the Beast. That's right, the Disney musical extravaganza is being mounted in classic Players Club of Swarthmore fashion – with a cast of almost sixty talented performers!

The love story of Belle and her Beast is sure to thrill and delight fairy-tale lovers of all ages. You know the story: a man's bestial nature is tamed by a woman's love, and a woman learns to look more than skin-deep to find her prince.

Theodora Psitos has directed many memorable musicals on The Players Club stage, and her work attracts talent from all over the Delaware Valley. Making her PCS debut in the role of Belle is Stephanie Lauren of Philadelphia; she's paired with Robert Welch of Wilmington, DE, as the Beast. Some of their supporting performers include: Richard Cipollone, Jr. of Conshohocken, Paul Weagraff of Wilmington, DE; Joseph Spiecker of Horsham, Cara Latham of Radnor, Tom Halley of Wallingford, Andrew Nadkarni of Media, Donna Dougherty of West Chester and Terry D’Andrea of Royersford.

The Players Club has planned extra performances for what is sure to be a huge hit! Two 7pm Wednesday shows (April 30 and May 7) have been added to the usual run, plus Saturday matinées on May 3 and 10. The entire run is April 24-27, 30, April 30-May 4 and May 7-10..
