This classic story of everlasting love tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town who doesn’t quite fit in, and the Beast, an arrogant young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will cease,and he will be transformed into his former self -- however, if time runs out, his castle and everyone inside will be doomed for all eternity. This "tale as old as time” offers a great opportunity to bring your entire community together for family theatre at its best!
