Beauty and the Beast Jr.
Grades 5-9
semi-competitive, not all actors will be cast.
OVERVIEW / SYNOPSIS
The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
This "tale as old as time" is filled with spectacular costume and set opportunities or, even more simply staged, Disney's Beauty and the Beast offers a great opportunity to bring your entire community together for family theatre at its best.

About the process-
This production will train young performers to become a dynamic, skilled, stage actors. The next step from the "minis", this production will be held off site at the Peabody Black Box Theatre! The music, choreography and scene work will become more challenging, and actors will be expected to work on their material outside of rehearsals. We create a safe learning environment where everyone will feel like an important part of the production. Our programs integrate social/emotional learning and confidence building to make it a truly unique learning experience. We focus on building confidence and creativity while learning the art of theatre.
