Performances open to the public!
Beauty & the Beast
Join us for the premiere of a brand new adaptation of the beloved 1740s fairytale "Beauty & the Beast". Our show will take you to the heart and original story of this classical tale where a handsome young prince finds himself cursed and his only hope is for a young woman to love him for who is his. Fairies, wolves, monkeys, and birds all take part in shaping this story and bringing the pages of the book to life. Unlike any other version you have seen, our show sticks true to the original telling that has captivated readers for hundreds of years.
We will be offering two showings this year to accommodate our double cast!
Saturday June 15th at 11:00 AM - Cast A
Saturday June 15th at 2:00 PM - Cast B
June 3-14th 2024
Beauty & the Beast
Our action packed, fully immersive, two-week camp will end with a spectacular performance open to the public!
Our camps are designed for performing & non-performing participants. We offer roles for dancers, singers, actors, and stage crew. Attendees help construct set pieces, props, and costumes! When it is showtime, our camp kiddos take over and run the performance themselves! (With just a little help from the grown-ups for sound & lights.)
