Nice article about the beginnings of Belle et Bête. We might not have won the Ignite! competition, but heck, here we are four slams, two shows, and lots of puppets later ...
We're feeling pretty proud of ourselves and are looking forward to our next slam! Mark it on your calendars, November 15 and 16 at the Tapp's Arts Center!

As the region’s knowledge economy annual celebration prepares for a new round of competition, we look back to a few local past winners and finalists to see what they are doing now.
