ACT is delighted to once again bring the "tale as old as time" to the stage. A selfish prince runs afoul of a powerful witch, who punishes him by making him a true "beast" - a spell which can be broken only if someone can be shown to love him for himself. A widow happens upon his castle, innocently taking a rose from the garden. The Beast sentences her to death, but her daughter, Beauty, intervenes, and agrees to stay in the castle with the Beast if he will spare her mother's life. An enchanted mirror, a fight with the furniture, and the dawning of a love that sees past the surface, all lead to some of the most memorable moments (with a classic happy ending) in theatre. ACT Youth bring this remarkable and beloved tale to life.
