Casting Off Costumes by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

There’s nothing to fear from fierce dedication, at least that’s what Ronny and Kate have themselves convinced of breaking into the Central Stage Theater for their own private dress rehearsal of a version of Beauty and the Beast coming to their small town.<\/p>\n

Intending to gain the advantage in casting the next day and clinch both star roles, neither imagines that the costumes might be more powerful than the roles.<\/p>\n

Donated by Donnie the Demon, these are special costumes, and as soon as Ronny is wearing his, an all new beastly side of him is coming to life, one Kate may never recover from.<\/p>\n

Ronny and Kate are born thespians, which Ronny was quite glad to hear didn’t mean Kate frolicked with her girlfriends exclusively. It means they are as dedicated to each other as they are to acting… but this October brings the role they know will start them on the path to success.<\/p>\n

At the Central Stage Theater in their small town, a unique production of Beauty and the Beast portrayed from the perspective of beast is to be cast tomorrow, and tonight Ronny and Kate are going to sneak into the wardrobe room backstage and master their lines, assuring them that they will be cast as leads in the production.<\/p>\n

No one could say they aren’t talented actors, but as Kate points out, none of the others trying out will have done so in the actual costumes, which always present unique challenges. So sneaking in with a little B and E for the good of all theater is nothing worth fretting over.<\/p>\n

What Kate could never suspect is that the costumes specially provided for this small town ambitious stage performance are being generously donated by none other than Donnie the Demon himself, who is set to arrive the next morning for a look at the costumes sent over.<\/p>\n

As with anything from his shop, these are special costumes, more than mere fabric and fur, destined to transform any wearer in ways they never could anticipate, nor likely will ever recover from.<\/p>\n

When Ronny puts on the Beast costume, fake teeth and fur, horns and a strange yet fitting beastly warmth spreading over him, is the fair Beauty Kate going to get a lot more than a dress rehearsal?<\/p>\n

Only Donnie and the stage manager will find out the next morning when they discover that a couple of sneaky dedicated actors are no longer acting. They’re casting off a lot more than costumes with their final roles, and Kate definitely was right… this is one role that will end up blowing up her career… and maybe more.<\/p>\n
