"Belle" visits Inova children
Makayla Overend, 5, a patient at Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children, smiled when she received a hug from Erin Cooper, who was visiting the hospital as Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" last week.
Cooper is performing in the The Alliance Theatre "Beauty and the Beast" at Chantilly High School Aug. 1-2 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 3 at 2 p.m. She was joined at the hospital by Stacy Crickmer – who played Mrs. Potts – to sign autographs, perform songs and give out roses. Alliance is a nonprofit theater group. Visit www.thealliancetheatre.org for more information.
