Bison Theatre Presents 2024 Fall Musical

Beachwood’s Bison Theatre program is proud to present its fall musical, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, from November 15 to 17 at the Beachwood High School Auditorium. The production is based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel and features songs from the popular Disney musical.

Set in 15th-century Paris, The Hunchback of Notre Dame tells the story of Quasimodo, the kind-hearted bell ringer of Notre Dame, who dreams of escaping his lonely life. When he ventures out during the Festival of Fools, he meets the beautiful and free-spirited Esmeralda, leading to a dramatic struggle between good and evil as they fight for justice against the tyranny of Judge Frollo. Beachwood’s production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, rated PG by Music Theatre International, is recommended for ages 12 and up due to its mature themes.

Directed by Taylor Mortensen and Johnathan Luster and produced by Topher Helm, the musical showcases the talents of 21 high school and middle school students. The principal cast includes seniors Rachel Kantarovich, Michael Karas, and DeShaun Williams as well as junior Vega Craig, sophomore Itamar Gabay, and freshmen JD Henz and Eli Ward.

Performances are scheduled for Friday, Nov. 15, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Nov. 17, at 2 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase at www.beachwoodschools.org/tickets.
