Beauty and the Beast, March 2014

After two successful productions it appeared time to branch out and make Happy Thoughts bigger and better. We found a new venue, this time in Braithwaite, just outside Keswick, and more ambitious shows. We introduced a 'forestage' (stage panels down the front of the main stage) in order to have a 3D, permanent Ville de Province as well as the castle up on the stage. We had a cast of 16, the most we had ever had, and many new members. We had a new set designer, new graphic designer and we had grown into ourselves as a company.
