Over 200 students performed — and more than 1,000 tickets were sold over three shows — at Beach Elementary School’s annual Beach Revue. After decades of performances in the Beach Auditorium (and a 2022 outdoor run in the PHS amphitheater), the show moved to the new Alan Harvey Theater at PHS.
Organizers said the new location was instrumental in opening the revue up to more people because its much greater capacity allowed them to sell more tickets than in the past. And, of course, the kids loved the big stage.
