Sadly, 2017 was the year in which we lost Roy Dotrice, the wonderful actor and gentleman who brought us the character of Father on Beauty and the Beast. In honor of Roy Dotrice, CABB asked members of the BatB fandom to share newly-created stories, poetry, and art featuring Father, and asked also that fans share their memories and photos of Mr. Dotrice. The results of this effort, which we’ve named “The Father Project” can be found here. I offer a huge Thank You to all of the project participants for sharing your talents, memories, and love of the man we knew as Father.
