New Article in Hinsdale Magazine about "Beauty and the Beast" Production

A great article by Mike Ellis appeared in the April 2014 edition of the Hinsdale Magazine celebrating Hinsdale Central's "Beauty and the Beast" musical production in March.  Find the article in this link.  The article, which you can read online, is on pages 20-21.  Great photos!

Several great quotes from English department teacher, and "Beast" director Chris Hicks, including my favorite, about the fact that she's been involved in directing plays for over three decades at Central.  "You just don't think about it and you don't realize that you become a part of the fabric of the place, and the place becomes part of the fabric of you.  It's just who you are and what you do."

Chris, you probably know, is in her final year before retirement.
