Plot Summary
Based on the smash hit 1991 Disney movie and dating back to a late 18th-century classic French fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast tells the story of Belle, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who feels out of place in her provincial French village. When her father is imprisoned in a mysterious castle, Belle’s attempt to rescue him leads to her capture by the Beast, a grisly and fearsome monster, who was long ago trapped in his gruesome form by an enchantress. The only way for the Beast to become human once again is if he learns to love and be loved in return. There is a time limit, too: once a magical rose loses all of its petals, all hope will be lost and he will stay a Beast forever. The Beast’s enchanted household--populated by such beloved characters as Mrs. Potts, Lumière, Cogsworth, and Chip--watch anxiously as Belle and the Beast grow to understand and befriend one another. Their feelings grow ever deeper as the clock ticks and petals continue to fall off the enchanted rose--will they confess their love for one another before it is too late?
Audition Info
Perform onstage in Broadway quality, family-friendly shows with our theatre! Auditions are open to the public—you do not need to attend Christ Wesleyan Church or any church for that matter.
Auditions are open to actors ages 12 & up. Children younger than 12 may audition for the role of Chip, but if not cast in that particular role, they will not be able to participate at this time. Children normally need to be at least 12 before they can audition.
Remember to schedule your audition! All actors auditioning should prepare a short monologue (2-3 minutes) that they find either online or from some other source and a song of their choice (average length is 3-4 minutes, but you may not need to sing the entire song) with accompaniment CD or mobile device. The total length of an audition should not exceed 8 minutes. Actors may also choose to provide their own live accompaniment (a piano is available). Both should be memorized. Monologues and songs do not have to be from Beauty & the Beast, but should show a range of emotions and skill (you do not need to provide copies of your monologue or song). Actors will do some dance choreography as part of the show, but do not need to include dance in their audition. If a person is interested in a “dance-only” role in the production, they should
contact us for more information.
