DHS drama has pulled off another spectacular performance. Mr. Saxton’s long countless hours working to put on this years production of Beauty and the Beast have paid off once again.


Audiences were captivated by the stunning costumes and creative choreography shown by the talented members of the drama department. Beautiful scenes and backdrops brought the drama to life.


Many DHS students attended the play and were impressed by the wonderful performance that there fellow peers were able to put on. “Avonlea Dally really looked like Belle. She was a great fit for the part,” admired Kember Childers.


Students and adults from around the community were all invited to see the play.


Desert Hills student Brock Johnson enjoyed the play and the characters, “My favorite character was Le Fou, I thought it was a perfect portrayal from the movie of how goofy, clumsy and quick witted he is!” Le Fou’s Josh Heaton put on a crazy, fun performance that had the audiences wondering what he was going to do next.


“What impressed me the most was how huge Garrison was!” Dakota Bair marveled.


Lots of magic tricks were used during this production. Everything from the wilting rose to the optical illusioned box that held Chip.


The seemingly bodiless Chip was wheeled around the stage while the audience stared cluelessly at how they were seeing what they were. Amanda Sullivan shed some light on this mystery, “It was all done with mirrors, Cameron’s (Chip’s) dad worked really hard to make it look perfect.”


“My favorite part was when the beast was raised up while he transformed into a man,” said Jeff Glauser. “it blew my mind!”


The fog and the lighting helped to cast a dramatic feeling on all of the scenes. Not to mention fabulous backdrops and transitions from one scene to the next.


Brock Johnson could not have agreed more, “The stage looked amazing and the transitions were fast and cool! Being able to turn the beasts tower when Gaston stabbed him was fun to see.”


Beauty and the Beast has lived up to the long line of Dixie High productions as being some of the best entertainment in town. The community always look forward to DHS’s productions, and thanks to another spectacular one, they’ll continue to.
