This weekend, the North Hardin High School Choir will present their show, Beauty and the Beast. The show features freshman Anna Vaughan, who has been involved in theater for six years, and has now landed a lead role as Belle. “I’m very excited because Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite musicals and Disney movies, and I get to be one of my favorite Disney princesses,” she stated. Vaughan is eager to finally perform for an audience as the show was originally set for last October. “Because of Covid, we had to push it back. Overall, seeing it all come together now, I feel like the show is going to be so much better and so much more well put together.”
