July 10 - 25  Disney's Beauty and the Beast Enjoy the stage adaptation of the animated 1991 Walt Disney film that tells the story of a strong-willed young woman, Belle, who breaks the spell that turned a handsome prince into a monstrous beast. Trying to save her beloved father from the Beast's clutches, Belle agrees to become his prisoner forever. But once she is inside the Beast's enchanted castle, the members of his court—who have been transformed into household objects like clocks and candlesticks—decide to play matchmakers. As the Beast falls in love with Belle, he becomes progressively less beastly. But the spell can be broken only if the Beast can get her to love him in return…but time is running out. The jealous Gaston, Belle's would-be suitor, leads a mob of villagers to attack the Beast's castle. Happily, the spell is broken and Belle and the Prince are united.
