Although this 2022 production of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is not a national pilot production, it will feature the same creative new components that earned DP its reputation for innovative staging and design. The choreography and staging has been reconceived by Gioia Marchese, Tammy Norton and Clark Sayre. Sayre notes, “We’ve purposefully stayed away from the professional and high school choreography and staging we’ve seen on Youtube. We want to give audiences a fresh perspective, but one that is still grounded in the text.”

What makes a place a sanctuary, a place of worship, or a simply a sacred space? Is it about the space, the structure, the history or something else? On February 22nd, we explored this fascinating topic from the perspective of the the Bahá’í, Greek Orthodox, and Jewish communities. On April 26th at 7:00 PM, we’ll revisit the topic with panelists from the Buddhist community, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Mount Cross Lutheran Church. Among the questions that we’ll ask these panelists are: *What spaces do you consider sacred? *What makes them sacred? *What myths, legends, historical events contribute to making these spaces sacred? *Is there a protocol/behavior/dress requirement when entering, occupying or exiting a sacred space? *May anyone enter a sacred space at any time? If not, what are the conditions for admission? *How do you construct a sacred space? Is there a specific type of architecture? How do you consecrate it? This panel discussion will take place via Zoom. You can participate by clicking on this link at the appointed time: https://bit.ly/3xg9O07.
