Dear Cast, Crew, and Production Staff,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for a job well done. It is because of each and every one of you that this show is as creative and amazing as it is. From the professionally constructed castle, to the artistic painting, to the many costume changes designed with precision for each scene, to the stained torches and carefully designed baskets, to the fifteen microphone checks along with synchronized musical transitions, to the fantastic choreography (especially the famous airplane), to mul-tiple lighting changes within each scene, to moving delicate props on and off the stage within seconds, to the actors remembering dialogue and music (as long as the United States Constitution), to the creation of tick-ets, play-bill, and T-shirts, to the late night practices, to our families that did not see us for days, weeks, and months, and finally, to the custodial staff cleaning up and open-ing the building so that we all could be just “perfect”. The two of us would like to thank the RMS administration for all of their sup-port and enthusiasm.

What a project it was, but not one of us can say that we did not have FUN each and every day. This cast , crew, and production staff should be PROUD of what they have achieved. There is “Beauty” in all of you. As the big day approaches, stay strong, be your-self, and most of all, ENJOY YOUR BROADWAY DEBUT. We are proud of everyone involved with this SHOW. Good luck in all of you per-formances. REMEMBER, WORK ON SCENE FOUR!!!

With “Beastly” Gratitude,Mr. Tholl / Mrs. Skura

Welcome to Riverhead Middle School’s Production of Beauty and the Beast. This show is about overcoming obstacles, following your dreams, believing in yourself, adjusting to change, and living life to the fullest. The students of Riverhead RMS are about to learn an important lesson in individuality and teamwork. On behalf of the students and staff involved with this show, we invite you to sit back and enjoy. We hope this musical helps you to find that Beauty within each individual you come in contact with.

PHOTO COURTESY OF PECONIC LAND TRUST

Ann McQuade said donating beachfront property in Riverhead was a ‘big deal’ for her, because now she knows it will be preserved in its natural state.

The Peconic Land Trust environ-mental group has acquired 64.4 acres of beachfront land in Riverhead for conservation, thanks to a donation by a longtime summer resident.

The property, a gift from Ann Mc-Quade of Port Washington, features undeveloped woodland and nearly 1,150 feet of property along Long Island Sound, according to a press release from the Southampton-based nonprofi t.

Ms. McQuade’s family has owned the land, which will now be known as the McQuade Preserve, since the early 1960s. She said she enjoys her

summers on the East End, where she lives rustically without many modern conveniences, and is happy to see her former property preserved.

Ms. McQuade said she will continue to summer on her remaining 12 acres, adding that her decision to relinquish the 64.4 acres was the right one, given the environmental benefit and the land’s rising property taxes.

“It’s a big deal for me to feel that it will go on permanently in this state of nature,” she said of the property. “The land, it’s just beautiful.”
