CYT Santa Cruz Presents Beauty and the Beast

Performance February 13, 14, 15, 20, 21 and 22

Beginning February 13, Santa Cruz County will have the opportunity to experience the beloved tale, Beauty and the Beast, produced by CYT (Christian Youth Theater) Santa Cruz. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is the classic story about an intelligent young woman, Belle, and a fierce Beast, who is really a young prince who, along with his whole household, is trapped under the spell of an Enchantress.

If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and all will be transformed back to their former selves, but time is running out. Will the Beast win Belle’s love in time to reverse the curse, or will he and his household be doomed forever? Join the cast of almost 70 students, ages 8-18, for this beautiful, funny, romantic and heart-warming show about love that transforms.

Beauty and the Beast is CYT Santa Cruz’s first show of their fifth season. The company opened in January 2011 and over the years has produced twelve full-length musicals; Beauty and the Beast will be their thirteenth show. Alongside their productions, the organization also offers classes in singing, dancing and acting. These classes, led by experienced and qualified teachers, train students in the performance arts, helping develop the confidence and joy that comes with honing their artistic gifts.

Performances of Beauty and the Beast will be at Crocker Theater on the Cabrillo College campus.
