Santa Maria Civic Theatre Presents: Beauty And The Lonely Beast

Written by Eleanor Harder
Directed by Grace Kitchen & Noelle Westbay

This NEW twist of the old classic tale follows a spunky fairy godmother named Isadore Plum who brings a bit of fairy tale sparkle to the story. She seems to be the only one who understands the Beast, who is very lonely. She tries to explain that it’s his bad manners and not his looks that frighten people away. With her encouragement, he vows to change his ways. But he is hard-pressed to remember his good manners when he is confronted by the distraught Mr. Merryweather and his rather strong-willed daughter, Beauty. Despite some early misunderstandings with Beauty’s two spiteful sisters, can true love triumph?
