GROSSE POINTE WOODS — Grosse Pointe Theatre’s Youth on Stage program will present Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast Jr.” at 7 p.m. March 22 and 23 and 1 p.m. March 24 at Parcells Middle School’s auditorium, 20300 Mack Ave. in Grosse Pointe Woods. There will also be a sensory-friendly performance at 1 p.m. March 23. Tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 for students.
The show is based on the Broadway production and the Disney film. It tells the story of Belle, a young woman in a small town, and the Beast, a young prince who has been cursed by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, he can break the spell and return to his former self, but time is running out for him to do this. Phoebe Caine plays Belle, Sam Frei plays Lumiere and Jackson Raleigh plays Gaston.
“The junior show is very well organized and follows the original story closely. This makes it easy for the kids to use the original as a good point of reference for character development,” director Rachel Hutchison said in a press release.
The cast includes 55 children and a crew of 15. For tickets or more information, visit gpt.org or call (313) 881-4004.
