The classic tale of Beauty and her Beast undergoes a stunning transformation in this mystical, whimsical production from All Together Theatre. Featuring wonderful new music and a twist on the classic tale by Michael Martinez, children and their families are invited to follow a young girl named Beauty through rose gardens, castle courtyards and a misty forest under the rule of a giant Owl. With a lot of help from a Parisian faerie and no help at all from a beastly Prince named Godfrey, our heroine sets out to break a spell and recapture her Grandmother’s voice.

That was some fifty years ago and Joan still loves to discover magic upon the stage with an audience of children.
