Our trip down Staples Players’ memory lane continues with “Beauty & the Beast.”
The cast of the fall 2007 production, directed by David Roth and Kerry Long, included several actors who went on to professional careers.
- Adam Kaplan (Cogsworth) starred in “Newsies” and “A Bronx Tale” on Broadway.
- Hannah Dubner (Belle) has performed in many shows, including “Hamlet” and “My Big Gay Italian Wedding.”
- Andy Friedland (The Beast) had a part in the series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” He is now executive director of Hiller International.
- Dan Shure (Belle’s father) is a recording artist in Charley Bliss, with Players actress Eva Hendricks.
Now … sit back and enjoy the show!
