Peru Drama Club to present Beauty and the Beast on March 9,10, & 11
PERU, NY – Peru Drama Club will present one of Disney’s most beloved musicals, Beauty and the Beast, on March 9, 10, and 11th. The curtain will rise to reveal a cast of 40 grade 6-12 students with a full pit orchestra featuring students and professionals.
Step into the enchanted world of Broadway’s classic, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, an international sensation produced in 37 countries worldwide. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all of the beautiful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The original Broadway production ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end, and he will be transformed into his former self. However, time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
This “tale as old as time” offers an excellent opportunity to celebrate and come together for family theatre at its best!
The show runs March 9 & 10 @7:30pm; March 11 @ 2pm & 7:30pm

Town will repair lawns damaged by its plows and a Telegraph Road bridge must be replaced
By John T. Ryan
Peru – Deputy Supervisor Jim Douglass chaired the January 23rd Peru Town Board meeting.
Highway Superintendent Michael Farrell said his department would repair lawns damaged by the town’s snow plows. Call his office at 518-643-8657 to report any damage. Thanks to its new road salting program, very little sand, if any, is being used, and the department will not need to sweep streets this year.
Farrell also reported that C&S Engineering inspected the Telegraph Road bridge needing repair. The engineers confirmed the bridges underlying culverts are collapsing and needing repair. Farrell said the road will have to be closed if the bridge and underlying culvert are not replaced by 2024. Farrell is applying for a Bridges NY grant to help fund the project.
Code Office Bob Guynup reported one bid had been received to date for the School Street house demolition project.
Other important actions included the following:
- Approving the Highway Department’s purchase of a 10,000 salt brine storage tank costing $17,928.
- Reappointing Allison Webbinaro to a seven-year term on the Planning Board.
- Approving sending Matt Houser to a 2A water operator training/licensing program.
- The board held an executive session with no action taken following the session.
