TCR Playbills Disney's Beauty and the Beast | Page 21

MEET THE CAST

ERIN HELM (Belle) Erin
couldn’t be more honored to
be playing Belle in TCR’s
production. You may have
seen her on this stage before
in Les Misérables (Ensemble),
Shrek (Blind Mouse), A
Chorus Line (Micki), Avenue
Q (Bad News Bear), The Little
Mermaid (Arista), and
American Idiot (Extraordinary
Girl). By day, Erin studies
Musical Theatre and is a fulltime nanny. She would like
to thank the directors for this
incredible opportunity, and
the rest of the cast for their
friendship and hard work.
Erin wants to dedicate this
performance to her parents,
sister Jaime, and brother
Bryan for being there for her
“no matter what”.

CORTNEY HUNTER (Silly
Girl/Ensemble) This is
Cortney’s first show at TCR.
Her goal in life is to inspire
as many people as possible.
In her spare time, she loves
playing guitar and writing
music. She would like to
thank Ang, Zac, and Lo for
being supportive and Mitchell
Kesterton for inspiring her.

DANIEL KELCHEN (The Beast)
This is Daniel’s first
performance in a Disney
production on the TCR stage.
“Beast” being an accurate
description as Daniel has
provided a great deal of his
own fur for the sake of this
character. He has been seen
on stage in such roles as
Sweeney Todd, the Cowardly
Lion, and Jay Gatsby over
the last five years. By day,
Daniel is the Scenic Director
at TCR and spends his days
designing, framing, welding,
and painting at the scene
shop. Daniel has a daughter
named Kaylie Dee who is his
absolute inspiration to keep
singing and keep playing
as the years tick by far too
quickly. Daniel also appears
to be gruff and standoffish,
but if you’re in need of a hug,
he’ll never turn you down.
“Enjoy the show, y’all!” :)
