'Beauty and the Beast' comes to Arlington High School in March

ARLINGTON — The Arlington High School Drama Department has promised to present some extraordinary performances during the first two weekends in March, when the Linda M. Byrnes Performing Arts Center hosts the musical "Beauty and the Beast."

The show will feature sets and costumes from a professional stage company, along with a variety of special effects designed to dazzle, while the music, which is already familiar to several generations who have grown up with the classic Disney animated version of the tale, will be sung by a talented group of students under the direction of the newest addition to the AHS Arts program, Brent McGee.

"Working with Brent McGee is an incredible experience,” AHS Drama teacher Scott Moberly said. "He is extremely positive and brings a great energy to every rehearsal."
