I will be playing Belle in PCPA’s production of Disney’s Beauty & the Beast in Santa Maria, CA. We will be playing in the Marian Theatre November 7-December 22! Tickets are available here!
“[The play’s] dramatic imperative shifts the moral burden onto the Beast who needs to find a woman to love him to remove his curse. Belle (played with a lyrical voice outsized for her small frame by Edella Oroz Westerfield) is no longer forced to obey. Her love, freely given, will release the Beast.” - Anna Jensen, Broadway World
”PCPA alumna Edella Oroz Westerfield makes a charming Belle—the astute, book-loving heroine who can accurately take the measure of a man, which she certainly does as she spurns the advances of fellow villager Gaston.” - Charlotte Alexander, SLO Review
