May 3, 2022 — Calling all actors, musicians and theatre enthusiasts! The Westonka Community Theatre is looking for community members (ages 8 to 108 - with all abilities welcome) for its third production, Beauty and the Beast, at the Westonka Performing Art Center. Beauty and the Beast is family entertainment at its best.
