Cassie Bleher was selected as the Best Lead Actress in a Musical and received “The Associated Community Theater Aubrey award” for her portrayal of Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Beauty and the Beast
was performed by Patio Playhouse at Kit Carson Park in summer 2016. This prestigious award, given to Cassie this year, is even more meaningful, as it is typically given to adult performers. Cassie is a senior at Classical Academy High School and has been performing in theater productions for the past 11 years.
“I was so excited just to be nominated and was not expecting to win because there are so many
talented adult performers in Associated Community Theater San Diego.” said Cassie
“The theater and drama programs at The Classical Academies have helped me grow in so many ways.”
