About Beauty and the Beast
In Disney's enchanting “tale as old as time,” Belle, a young woman trapped in her provincial life, encounters a prince under a curse that has turned him into a terrifying beast. But the key to their freedoms might lie in each other. If the Beast can learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal falls on an enchanted rose, the curse on the Beast will be broken. Catch this beloved classic, featuring unforgettable musical numbers and magical moments.
Director Notes
Beauty and the Beast will be directed by PCPA Resident Artist, Erik Stein, who states, “When I was 24, I asked Jax (Erik’s wife) to marry me. I was nervous to tell my mom that Jax said yes because I thought she would think we were too young. My dad was overjoyed; Jax was and is way out of my league. My mom was very kind, yet I would describe her reaction as thoughtful. The next day, my mom and I were driving, just the two of us in the car, and she said something that so perfectly put into words how I felt, and continue to feel, about Jax. She said my life would never be the same because there is now someone whose life is more important than my own. Whose needs are more important than my needs. Someone who I love more than I love myself. I am so grateful to spend the holidays immersed in a story that’s not just about what we do for love, but what love can do for us.”
