Beauty and the Beast will share its "tale as old as time" at The Colonial Theatre for Berkshire Theatre Group's 11th Annual Community Theatre Production. This beloved Tony Award and Drama Desk Award-nominated musical will feature over 100 talented Berkshire County natives. For the fourth time in a BTG community production, actors will fly through The Colonial Theatre, the first time was three years ago in Peter Pan, the third in last year's community production Mary Poppins.
A spell is cast on a conceited, immature prince and his castle, turning the strikingly handsome young man into a hideous, cruel creature: The Beast. To break the curse, The Beast must discover how to love someone for the kindness of their heart, and be loved in return in his grisly form. Meanwhile, in a small, mundane French town, Belle, a bright and beautiful bookworm, has always felt out of place. Picked on by her peers, and constantly sought after by the superficial town hunk, Gaston, Belle aches for adventure. The only person that truly believes in Belle is her father, Maurice, an affectionate, eccentric inventor. After losing his way in the woods, Maurice is captured by The Beast. Belle agrees to become prisoner in exchange for her father's freedom. With the aid of The Beast's enchanted, charming servants-Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts and Chip-Belle finds that there is more to The Beast than meets the eye. Beauty and The Beast is bursting with stunning dance numbers and memorable songs, such as: "Be Our Guest," "Beauty and The Beast," "Gaston," and more!
Proceeds from this production benefit many children in Berkshire county beyond those who participate in and enjoy Beauty and The Beast! Ticket proceeds benefit BTG PLAYS!, Berkshire Theatre Group's Year-Round Education Program. At the heart of BTG PLAYS! is a passionate commitment to bring
