Dear Friends, We are so thrilled to welcome you back to The Moonlight and our first family show since 2019: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. As you are watching the show tonight, you will see many moving parts on stage: special effects, sets and scenery changes, stage lighting and numerous (Left to right) Jennifer Bradford, other details that are performed on cue. Stanley D. Cohen, Steven Glaudini Many designers, crew members, and and Colleen Kollar Smith technicians contribute to make these intricacies come to fruition, but the individuals at the helm are the remarkable members of our stage management teams. It is appropriate in the Year of the Stage Manager to celebrate these unsung heroes of the theatre. They are responsible for scheduling and running rehearsals. They serve as the liaison between the director and the rest of the creative team. From opening night through the closing night, they ensure that the director’s vision of the show remains in place. Their most visible job function is to call the sound, lighting, scenery, and special effects cues in the dark from the back of the amphitheatre in the sound and lighting booth. Tonight, all those elements are being overseen by Stanley D. Cohen, who we refer to as the “Rolls-Royce of Stage Managers.” Stanley has stage managed more than 70 productions at The Moonlight. But his involvement extends beyond his role as a stage manager. He is also one of our major donors through his family business, Atlantic & Pacific Management. At the Moonlight Cultural Foundation’s Ruby Gala in June, Stanley was honored with the 2021 Moonlight Ovation Award for his exceptional generosity, dedication, and vision on behalf of The Moonlight. With sincere appreciation, we pay homage to Stanley and the rest of our stage managers for being the magicians who work their magic at The Moonlight.

It was a brilliant combination of a great story, an incredible score from Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, and a strong heroine for which the world was aching. It would be less than a year until both Bill Burns, our choreographer, and I would be part of the original Los Angeles company. An adventure that spanned over the next three or four years, including the Palace Theatre on Broadway. This adapted version from Linda Wolverton (based on a tale as old as time) keeps the focus on the strength and Jamie Torcellini courage of our heroine. She created a character who is a positive role model for young girls. Belle is an avid reader, who is open to new ideas, and “she has a point of view of her life and that doesn’t necessarily involve a man getting her there.” Unlike Snow White, she isn’t waiting for a Prince to save her. She takes control of her destiny by sacrificing her life for that of her father’s. A selfless and courageous action. While the curse that befalls this castle and all its inhabitants is punishment for failing to see past an ugly exterior, Belle shows us that beauty is found within. Everybody deserves love. Sometimes you must look deep, and you might just find your Prince in disguise. “Oh, isn’t this amazing? It’s my favorite part because you’ll see Here’s where she meets Prince Charming But she won’t discover that it’s him ’til chapter three!” Jamie Torcellini Jamie Torcellini (left) Jamie Torcellini with Toni Braxton from the Director Los Angeles production BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ORCHESTRA Conductor ELAN McMAHAN Violin MARINA HALL Cello ERIKA BORAS-TESI Bass MARTIN MARTIARENA Woodwinds TRISH SCHENKELBERG, AMY KALAL, KATRINA EARL Trumpet DAVID FENNELL Horn JOANITA WASHBURN Keyboards EMILY KEELE, MICHELLE SORGER 7 Percussion DANIEL DOERFLER MUSICAL NUMBERS ACT ONE Overture Prologue ''Belle"….….….….….….….….……………….
