Orlando Shakespeare Theater to Present BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Orlando Shakespeare Theater in Partnership with UCF kicks off its 2016-2017 Children's Series with the beloved fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. Adapted by Brandon Roberts (2015's The Frog and the Princess and 2014's Rapunzel), the family-friendly production will play from June 16 - July 24, 2016 in the Goldman Theater. Individual tickets ($9 - $18) will be available for purchase starting Tuesday, May 3, 2016. Group tickets (orders of 10+) and Children's Series subscriptions are available now by calling (407) 447-1700 ext. 1 or in person at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center (812 East Rollins Street).

Set in an enchanted castle in a far away land, Beauty and the Beast spins a magical tale where a young beauty has been locked away by a terrible Beast. The young woman's honest and enduring love for the unsightly Beast ultimately becomes a gift of kindness that brings magical results. From the team that created Orlando Shakes' The Frog and the Princess comes a bold new telling of the classic French fairy tale.

"We love kicking off our Children's Series with Brandon Roberts' summer fairy tales," said Director of Education Anne Hering. "The quirky and charming magic in Beauty and the Beast is fun for the whole family!"

The cast and creative team for Beauty and the Beast will be announced at a later date.

Orlando Shakespeare Theater is supported by United Arts of Central Florida, host of the collaborative Campaign for the Arts. Orlando Shakespeare Theater is also sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.
