DIRECTOR

Matthew Corsaro is so proud to be a part of the amazing visual and performing arts program at Santa Fe Christian. He is humbled to be surrounded by such a talented and creative artistic team and is always amazed by his students’ focused hard work. This is Matt’s eighth year directing productions at SFC, with Beauty and the Beast being his 24th show at SFC and 41st show in his overall career.

Matt’s love and passion for theater sparked in the fifth grade while watching a high school production of Godspell. It was during his own high school theater experience that Matt knew he was called to become a drama teacher himself. While the journey and path to become a high school drama teacher took a while, with many twists and turns along the way, Matt was able to finally find a home and true place of belonging at SFC. Working with these students in the casts and crew is one of his greatest joys, and helping them through the various challenges in their lives is really what is at the heart of the job.

MUSICAL DIRECTOR

Vlad Bgatov is in his sixth year at Santa Fe Christian and has enjoyed every moment of it! He revels in working with talented young people, together creating the best performances for the glory of God. Mr. B is thankful to work with great directors: Matthew Corsaro, Amy Stine, and David Hall. Directing the music for Beauty and the Beast was especially fulfilling. Mr. B notes that while Beauty and the Beast is a classic and very well known show, the cast rose as true professionals by joyfully dedicating themselves to rehearsals and growing vocally, to put on a wonderful show.

Students and families at SFC hold a special place in Mr. B’s life. There is a connection with students that runs beyond musical tones, and that brings jubilation, praise, and reverence to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For

Family is extremely important to Matt. He wouldn’t be the strong man he is without the love, support, and patience from his beautiful wife, Carlie. He would also like to give a very special thank you to his two amazing kids, Nico and Cami, who remind him every day why family, following your heart, and pursuing happiness are so valuable. Jeremiah 29:11

everything comes from Him and exists by His power and is intended for His glory. Soli Deo Gloria!”

CHOREOGRAPHER

Amy Stine is so thankful to be working on this Beauty and the Beast production at SFC. She grew up training at San Elijo Dance Academy. Since then, her passion for dance has never left. She graduated from Benedictine College, where she received a BA in education with a concentration in fine arts. She performed on the Raven Dance Team and competed at NDA Nationals in Daytona Beach, Florida, for three consecutive years. She has choreographed several productions throughout San Diego County, teaching dance and performing arts, in venues including Moonlight Youth Theatre, Thrive Learning Center, and Cathedral Catholic High School. She has also been a recipient of the National Youth Arts awards for Outstanding Choreography for her work on SFC productions of Annie (2015), Godspell (2016), and Newsies (2019). She is currently the coach for both the SFC Upper and Middle School dance troupes. She would like to thank Matt, Vlad, and Dave for always being so awesome to work with, Amy Kennard

CONDUCTOR

Dave Hall began teaching music to 4th –12th graders in 1989. Presently, Mr. Hall is the Band Director and AP Music Theory teacher at Santa Fe Christian. For 11 years, he wrote and arranged music for the Tri-City Church choir and orchestra; he was the director for three of those years. Music students under Mr. Hall’s direction have won the prestigious Biola band competition three times. In 1999, they won an audition to perform in an international music competition in Sydney, Australia. In 2005, his school band, along with other ACSI musicians, went to the Bahamas as the first group from the USA to perform in the Bahamian Independence Day Celebration. He was named Middle School Teacher of the Year in 2008-2009 in San Diego by the Veterans of Foreign War. He received the 2012 Band Educator of the Year Award by the California Music Educators Southern Section. Mr. Hall received his BA in Music Education from San Diego State University and his MM in conducting from Southern Oregon

for her constant encouragement, her family and friends for their love and support, the wonderful cast and crew, and her Lord Jesus Christ for the beauty of the arts and the gift of choreography.

1 Corinthians 16:14

University. In the Summer of 2019, Dave led the SFC band to Sydney, Australia, where they performed at the world-renowned Sydney Opera House.

It’s my distinct privilege to welcome you to Santa Fe Christian’s 2023 Spring Musical, Beauty and the Beast. I’m sure that many of you are familiar with this timeless story in which a brave and bold young woman finds herself locked in the castle of a prince who has been turned into a hideous beast. Throughout this story, amidst the characters, songs, and dance numbers – it all comes down to being able to see the beauty within someone.

This story is full of change. Our prince changes into a beast. Our heroine, Belle, changes the way she trusts the Beast. The Beast changes his demeanor, temper, and behavior as he learns that the only way to break the spell is for him to change from within first. Our antagonist, Gaston, changes from a man to more of a monster, while the Beast changes from a monster to a man. It’s this theme (plus a second) that is also such a regular part of the growing up experience.

When these seniors were just Freshmen, their opening night of Bye Bye Birdie was cut short by our closure from COVID. As I look at that very same group that is now leading as our senior class, I am astounded by the amount of change they’ve undergone. They’ve challenged themselves, reached new heights in academics, athletics, and the arts. They’ve learned more about who they are, what’s important to them, and what kind of legacy they want to leave behind once they graduate. It’s absolutely an honor to see them close out their high school theater careers in this show. I can’t wait to see where life takes them.

The second theme I’ve come across in this show is about love. Now you may be thinking, “Sure, of course. The Beast has to get Belle to love him.” Except what makes our view of love different in this show comes at the end of act one. After the Beast finds Belle in the forbidden west wing of the castle, he completely loses his temper as he screams at her to leave. Realizing the immediate impact of what his temper and lack of communication have done, he closes our first act by singing “If I Can’t Love Her.” Interesting… that’s not a typo. The name isn’t supposed to be “If She Can’t Love Me.” What the brilliant composer Alan Menken is conveying to us with this song title is about where love comes from. The Beast doesn’t sing about getting her to see past the creature he’s become, but rather allowing himself to love her. In turn, to allow himself to put another first. Much earlier in the story, when Belle volunteers to stay as a prisoner in the castle in order to earn her father’s freedom, this is the first example of true love the Beast witnesses – someone being selfless and putting another first. I think it’s the combination of these two themes in the story that make this such a perfect production for our school and for our program. As these seniors go off into the world to pave their own paths, my hope is that they understand true love is being able to put someone first, and to be selfless.

I’m extremely proud of all of these students in our cast and crew for their hard work, time, efforts, teamwork, and camaraderie during this process. They’ve been incredible to work with and direct. I hope you enjoy this production of Beauty and the Beast, and show that love and appreciation to these incredible students for their amazing work on display.

I want to thank God for everything that He gives us every single day, and for allowing us to be here to be a part of this performing arts community. Thank you to our administrative team at SFC for supporting our pursuit of excellence in the arts: Rod Gilbert, Matt Hannan, Todd Deveau, Amanda Walker, Pam Oden, Mike Siciliano, Kristi Ellis, Hannah Park, and Julie Johnson. Thank you to our amazing production managers, Megan Ziegler and Sarah Baughman, for doing such great work throughout this whole year. Thank you to Vlad, Amy, and Dave for being such an incredibly talented and dynamic artistic team. Thank you to Paul Trotta, for manning our sound board as the A1 for this production and for dedicating so much of his time to make these shows possible. Thank you to Michelle Sorger for being our wonderful rehearsal accompanist.

Thank you to Amanda Clardy, Lisa Littlejohn, Nina John, Caroline Sanchez and the rest of the team for your wonderful work with the costumes. Thank you to Amanda Selby for doing such a great job as our props chair and for all of your time working on our sets. Thank you to the talented Eden Stambaugh for your artistic talents that are present throughout our sets.

A very special thank you goes out to Jim Reilly and the SFC Robotics class. They have worked alongside our production over the past couple of months to help develop some of the engineering ideas and concepts you see throughout the show.

Thank you to the talented Kiana Honma for taking and editing our cast and crew head shots. Thank you to the marketing team and Jill Malena for their work on our advertisements and playbill. Thank you Kim Bergstrom, the Blackingtons, Katie Rayners, Ashley Mahaffey, Therese Stambaugh, and every parent who volunteered during tech week and at the shows. We couldn’t have done this without you!

Thank you to my wonderful family – Carlie, Nico, and Cami. Thank you to my wonderful parents, Tony and Therese, for always being supportive of me pursuing my dream. Thank you to my amazing in-laws, Heidi and John, for your love and support.

And more one… a HUGE thank you to these students who put in so many hours day in and day out along this journey. They have painted a masterpiece… and this show is the final step in their high school performing arts journey.

COSTUMER/PROP THANK YOU’S

From Amanda Clardy, Costume Chairperson:

Each time I agree to costume one of Matt’s shows, I start out thinking that it will be less involved than the previous ones. And each time I surprise myself with the knowledge that it takes just as much creativity, effort, and most importantly, a village of incredible volunteers to make the costumes as special as the artistic team, cast, and crew deserve it to be. The amount of volunteers we had this time was larger than ever and we wouldn’t have pulled it off without their talents and time. There were people who helped who didn’t have children in the cast, were on other show committees, all of whom were juggling their own personal commitments and work. Here are just a few special accomplishments made by this incredible team:

Caroline Sanchez made Mrs. Potts from scratch – no pattern, only a general vision from me! She used fabrics from her personal closet for that costume, but also account for many other pieces that you see on stage, such as aprons, hats, shawls, and more! She was a great sounding board for many of my crazy ideas!

Lisa Littlejohn made the welcome mat and salt and pepper shakers from scratch. Again, with no pattern to follow. She and her partner in crime, Nina John, also did countless alterations despite the fact that I promised both of them at the start that there would be very few! I’m thankful I was wrong because the three of us spent many hours at my house, sewing, laughing, and having fun!

Tricia Roberts gets my “hot glue gun queen” award – she suffered through many burn blisters on her hands to make so many of the incredible head pieces you see in the show, from the wolves’ ears to silverware crowns to almost all of the headpieces in “Be our Guest!”

Kirstin Marx, Terese Stambaugh, Heather Endicott, Katie Rayners, and Vanessa Harvey, all stepped in with willingness when I asked for help on specific projects! And Kirstin’s expertise in pairing colors and patterns was invaluable to me as we pulled the townsperson costumes together. And my dark horse for this show was Amanda Selby. Halfway through the costume process, which takes several months before the show begins, I quickly realized I needed help. With many of the Beauty and the Beast costumes being more prop-like than a standard clothing piece, I found myself swirling for hours about how to make a human look like an object. After I asked for Amanda’s advice a couple times, she quickly became my go to person for nearly every idea I had to bounce off someone. She ran the props committee, but she was also a huge partner on the costume committee, and the show would not have looked as good without her talents and willingness to walk alongside me in this process!

And of course, my thanks goes to Matt Corsaro and Amy Stine, both of whom received late night or early morning texts from me with question after question about who stands where, who does what tricks, who has a quick change, etc. Thank you for letting me run with my vision for the show and supporting me along the way!

From Amanda Selby, Props Chairperson:

A huge thank you to the entire Prop Team for their ingenuity and hard work in making and procuring all the props and set dressings for this show. Thank you Tanya Hall, Ashley Mahaffey, Natasha Moskalenko, Elena Smolina, Nina Trapeznikova and Sarah Vickers – I appreciate all your time, your talents and your dedication to this production and to our school.

SENIOR CREW MEMBERS

Kyra Buley

is a dedicated and enthusiastic member of the SFC theater community, having participated in several productions during her time at the school. Her passion for the arts is evident in her love for the shows she has been a part of, and her resourcefulness in solving backstage problems with duct tape. With her imaginative personality, she would make a perfect fit as Gonzo if she were a muppet. When she is not involved in theater, Kyra enjoys reading, watching her favorite TV show Psych and organizing her life through spreadsheets. She is excited to end her high school journey on a strong note.

Amelia Vickers

is honored to play the role of Chip in Beauty and the Beast. She has been involved in the SFC theater program since her freshman year and loves every show she has been in. Besides theater, Amelia is a varsity cheer captain and leads worship at chapel weekly. She thanks Mr. Corsaro for his encouragement and support throughout her time at SFC, as well as her friends and family for their love and support. “Enjoy the show!”

Kiana Honma has been involved in the theater community since elementary school, both acting and crew. She discovered her love for crew in middle school, taking up just about every role from costumes to lights.

Kiana has participated in 15 productions, with her favorite being SFC’s recent production of Peter and the Starcatcher. She would like to thank all the artistic and production staff, fellow cast and crew members, and especially her family for their support throughout her journey in theater crew. Kiana hopes to continue her involvement in college and will always cherish her memories from SFC.
