What an absolutely phenomenal start to Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR.!

Our first week was a whirlwind of sold-out shows, incredible energy, and unforgettable music.
We watched in awe as our talented cast took to the stage and truly made it their own.
From the stunning vocals to the breathtaking performances, the magic was real, and the applause from our amazing audience said it all.

A huge thank you to our sponsors! None of this would be possible without our incredible partners who, once again, believed in our vision and supported local arts. You are the true magic behind the scenes!

Ready for the encore? After such a successful opening run, our cast and crew are refreshed and ready to bring that same sparkle back to the stage for our final week! (Also SOLD OUT)
