Beauty and the Beast
November 26, 2014 – February 8, 2015 EXTENDED
By CHARLES WAY
Directed by WHIT MACLAUGHLIN
On the F. Otto Haas Stage
Meet two sisters: Cassandra, eager to experience life; and Belle, who is afraid of the world. After their father loses the family fortune, they leave London to start life anew. But nothing prepares them for what happens next. When Belle meets the Beast, she begins an adventure unlike any she could have imagined. From the team that created Arden’s Cinderella comes a bold new telling of this classic tale.
“If you want your child to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.””
-Albert Einstein
Best enjoyed by families with children 5 and older.
